Summer of '69 pics

[Don_Lightfoot]

Here's an engine shot from that summer as well. Two things that pop out are the air filter and lack of A.I.R. The filter had been changed to an aftermarket one and he had the dealership remove the A.I.R. system before he took delivery which was about Mar/69. For you "over" restorers out there, notice there is no engine paint overspray on the intake, hoses, etc. (which might have been plant specific, I don't know). He didn't recall the assembly plant until I started to rhyme them all of, it was a Baltimore car.

Hopefully you enjoy these shots as much as I do [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Hi Don
Do you have any pix of your Sister? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Seriously though,good shots,and glad you posted them here.
Is that all there is?
Is that Chevelle long gone?
Interesting to see the Alternator bracket came with the Heater Hose clamp attached,as some didn't.
And the battery must have been grounded at the block.

Don, great pics. It's a shame there weren't some more all-encompassing shots of the engine bay. Interesting to see "how it was" as opposed to "how people thought it was."
