really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

That partial list came from the late Fran P.
I agree,and was hoping maybe JohnZ could shed more light on it.
Charleys plugs look like the real proof in the pudding though.

The same list is in Colvin's book, along with a list of assembly order for Tonawanda. He probably got it from Fran, and its probably from the '70s.

I believe Charley's photos more than I believe that list.

Charley, Rob is probably punishing you for backing out of the moderator job

Rick,
I have seen that list in Colvin's book and questioned it. It doesn't make sense to waste paint on a motor that might fail at test. Not to mention, it would make small leaks hard to detect.

The Flint V-8 assembly sequence in CBTN is incorrect; Flint engines were painted AFTER hot-test. I spent a lot of time at Flint V-8 when I worked next door at the Chevrolet Pilot Line - a friend of mine ran the Piston Department.
