My '70 and '72 do not have the red ignition switch marking. The switch in the '72 may have been replaced by the prior owner.

Mr70, not quite sure on build date, I crushed it already. But it had bolt on door hinges so it would have to be an early 70 car (prior to mid January 70)SULLY

I knew Sully, MikeA and Gregg would dig this thread

I'm starting to think this little detail ended with the '69 calendar builds, sort of like the other details that we've documented, ie; hinges, brake valve, etc...

Allen, what does your early '70 have?

Oh,

Bill Pritchard stopped by this weekend and we starting talking about this topic. I check mine in the 69 Z and it is indeed red. Just an FYI.

Mine is most defiantly "Pink" in the '69 manure spreader

"I look forward to the day when every single piece on the car will have it's own thread here.!" (We're rapidly approaching that goal! )

"My air cleaner wing nut is turned is 37 degrees clockwise from the centerline of the car. I think it's original, but I'm not positive. Does anyone know for sure what the correct alignment should be?"

I would venture a guess that the 37° deviation (plus or minus 3°) is correct. The question is; which side of the Mississippi River the car was built. Cars built West of the Big Muddy seem to have the wing nut Counterclockwise while the Eastern cars were Clockwise. Isn't that what your research indicates Rick?

BTW, my 05D Arlington car: no red mark!_____________________________________________ ____
