BTW, I believe that is the original assembly line cap as the later ones had an additional molded ring around that center relief hole opening.

Here's a shot of a couple caps from the garage. Newer style replacement cap on left, original assembly line piece on right.

Good old FORTRAN (Formula Translation) and COBOL (Common Business Operating Language)...i Learned them both in 11th grade (flowcharts and all). I was really familiar with the IBM cards.

The one program that I &quot;programmed through the cards&quot; was to run the sequence of Fibonacci numbers to 100,000. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Took me quite a while to get it to work...LOL

I was at the foundry and Fran was at the motor plant. Even though the plants were connected and I would be at QC meetings at the motor plant, I didn't know Fran. It's been a lot of years and I don't know axactly when Fran was at Tonawanda. I spent most of my time in operations (on the shop floor). Since I never worked at Norwood, I can't speak to how the IBM card got into a car. I did work at the St. Louis Corvette Assy plant when I was co-oping as a student. We used build sheets. The same info was on the punch cards though (the punch cards were the source for the eventual build sheet).

Sorry to steal this thread!

Gotta love the flat hood and slick look sans the spoiler....

Same Hood, lack of spoiler and month build as the Lemans Blue one I am doing now.
