Hi Jason, thanks for forwarding the Vintage Camaro Certification info to Jim. I just spoke with him for an hour and he has a wealth of info. He mentioned the tin foil was used on the heater hoses to shield the fuel line in that area from heat since they are next to each other in that area. When he raced the car in 69 and early 70 the car ran 13.70's all day long with the orig F 70 14. All I can say is wow, a great car and owner.

Maybe I am wrong, but that air cleaner cover looks to be chrome. Weren't cowl induction cars supposed to be black lids? Just curious. Nice to see another curved neck 4 core radiator car. Nice car...

-----Back when these cars were new I dont think there was a kid out there that didnt switch black a-c lids out for chrome ones.It just made the engine look so much better. I remember thinking "Chevrolet must have made a mistake". I really have to resist the temptation even today to do the same thing. Correctness isnt always the way things look the best, IMHO........Bill S
