Default Re: part numbers/casting numbers for 1968 L36

John, I posted the date and number of the parts book in case someone had previous information that was better than mine. I saved a lot of the parts books from when I was in GM parts, but didn't have the foresight to save a 'change-up' book which would have given original numbers.
The numbers that I gave seemed to be correct in that the new numbers had a note stating that pipe thread plugs needed to be put into them to make them right for 68.
I'll bow to your info.
John

I think that you will find that a superceding part number is a part from another application that will do the job but may not be correct. GM did a lot of that over the years to cut down on the parts warehouse inventories.

I agree. I didn't post the superceding numbers.

I ordered a 442 front emblem for my 68 442 in the mid 80's, and actually got a '4' that was correct for a 67 Corvette hood. Someone thought that would work.

According to the parts book, a 37 amp was for a 6 cyl. car. Base amp for a V8 was 42.

Parts books appear to be wrong, as both small blocks and big blocks came with 37 amp alt's.

The correct alternator is 1100794 per Colvin.

I listed a 178 exhaust manifold without smog a few days ago in the For Sale section with early Dec 67 dates.
