I have many of the same ones you described Bill. Something people need to remember as well when it comes to head markings, there were more often than not more than one supplier on most parts for these cars. I have disassembled hundreds of Chevelles and Camaros over the years and often find one side of the car using one vendor or head marking while on the other side another vendor or different head marking. This has been found on not only the frames but the bodies as well.

Excellent guys thanks!!!.. I fully understand the use of different fasteners due to many suppliers as I have documented that during this project as well as others.. Unfortunately I can not confirm if different hardware was used in this case so I have to lean towards using the same in this situation. Rick Im pm'ing you now.. Again thank you and Bill for taking the time to help out an average joe like myself.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

It's just a simple little bolt. Shipping equals one hand shake next time we cross paths. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

The eye cap should be in the second position from the end and it does not matter which end.

The &quot;Eye-cap&quot; should be in the second Positive position, because that one losing liquid first{The &quot;Eye-cap&quot; will work in any hole}.

That looks great Darrell! I was thinking of doing the same thing. I think I'll make it happen.
