Default 1969 Z28 wheels and other stuff

-----Im working on a 1969 Z and three wheels have a YH on them. The 4th has an FW on it. What should I be looking for? Are any of these wheels correct? Whats with K19 that I see as a stamping? Is that a date code? Three of the four wheels including the FW have K19. Fourth (YH) has K103.
-----Radiator has a UH tag. Is that correct?
-----Distributer is a 480. How about that?
-----Brake booster has 072 on the tab, and is all plated and redone. Is it correct?
-----Thanks, guys. I appreciate the help......Bill S

What's the assembly date of this Vehicle?
The UH Radiator was used on the 69 302 Z/28's as well as the 350/250HP L-65 for Camaros w/Manual trans.

YH 15" rally wheels were used on the later Camaros,issued after mid February 1969 to compensate for the 4 wheel disc brake option,then also used on the 1970-74 Monte Carlos.
FW 15" rally wheels were issued on 1970-74 Monte Carlos.

Look for an entire wheel assembled date code on both sides of the valve stem.
It should resemble 5 on the left of Valve stem,then 10 on the right of it,for May 10th.
K=Kelsey-Hayes manufacturer.
1=Romulus Mich. assembly Plant.
9=1969-last digit of year assembled.

#480 is correct for a 1969 Z/28..but NOT if it's one of the VERY late assembled Z's I am lead to believe.

YH wheels were first manufactured on 12/16/68, I think that is the earliest date known. Earlier 15x7 wheels had the AD code. 1969 Z28s built 12B,12C would be the first that used these wheels. I've only seen YH wheels on cars from 12C on, contrary to some published info.
