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.

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)

Also I have used REM GUN OIL made by Remington, helps prevent corossion. Comes in small 4-6 oz. can with applicator nozzle. Good Luck.

That looks like the correct smog valve to me. Sure looks like an original or NOS part with that wire support welded on the front of it. Never seen a 68 like that.
What's the # on the valve? See http://www.camaros.org/emissions.shtml for the location.

I will check later today. I don't believe it was a 297 valve.

The valve looks to be an NOS 26291 Diverter (6 cyl application) that was stamped GH. The valve looks nice, but does it look correct on the car?

The air pump looks correct and is stamped 07191S which sounds about right for an 04C build date

Thanks, Paul

I didn't think the 69 BB came with that wire clip welded onto the muffler/valve?
I thought it was a 6 CYL. application used in 1968 only.
So CRG shows it was a 6 CYL.application,but used in 69.
My error in calling it a #299,but I still think you should have a #297 on there to be correct.
