engine lift brackets?

[Keith Tedford]

The emblem that I put on the breather lid was one from 1966 or 1967. The red wire and ballast resistors, on the firewall, were part of a points triggered Delco CD ignition kit that I also had installed. Still have the CD kit in the original box. None of the three cars had breather decals. I think the Tonawanda decal was the only one under the hood. Mine didn't have a posi decal in the trunk either.

------Hope I dont start an arguement,but I looked over a COPO Chevelle just after it rolled off the transport truck in 1969,and it seems to me it had only the 427 decal on the air-cleaner lid and "T" sticker on the valvecover.Oh,also smog sticker,but I couldnt have cared less about it back in 69!.........Bill S

Bill I bet this was possiable. Could this have varied by assembly plant or model such as if it were a Camaro or Chevelle?

Since Flint and Tonawanda supplied engines for all plants I doubt it varied by final assembly plant. The only factory documentation I know of is the ZL1 engine assembly manual. It calls for a number of small items to be painted with black engine enamel, among them the engine lift hooks. Road test photos of the #3 ZL1 show a black front hook. But the hook in the L88 photo elsewhere on site doesn't look painted at all.
