Rick, That's uncanny......BEFORE I saw your post, I was thinking the same thing............one of the better sources to buy on line.

Thanks, great info.. That can be a real problem here in Houston where it will be 40 degrees one day then 75 and humid the next. Everything starts to sweat which results in surface rust. I also have a mill and lathe in the garage and I'm thinking this product will work well for those items too. Keep the comments coming.

Paul,
I use Boe-Shield on virtually any bare steel parts/tools in and around the shop. I have even been known to use it on my new vehicles every time I buy one. It keeps all the aluminum under the hood looking original and stops it from getting that white powdery oxidation all over everything. Sometimes I think I am one of Boe-Shield's best salesman since Chris White introduced it to me.

Your Camaro is outstanding looking.The details really flow.
So much so that I have to ask why you used a 1968 #299 Diverter/Muffler/Clip,
and not the correct one piece 1969 #297 Diverter Valve?
I am from the understanding that the #746C Purple PCV Valve was used on 1968-69 302 & 427 solid lifter applications only?
That really is a Beautiful job!

The muffler cap came with the car when I purchased it and I didn't realize that it was for a 68 model. That's why I posted the pics to get everyone feedback to make sure what I am doing is correct. Do you know where I can get the correct one? I will keep the pics coming.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Paul

Aside from a few members on here who collect A.I.R. parts,you might want to try:
Bill Hodel 330-832-0871
John Greenhoe 330-723-0899
I'm curious as to your opinion about the correctness of the Purple PCV valve?...(1970-71 LT-1 engines received it too)
