Very good idea to replace the valve springs, especially if you chose to hammer it a bit.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Hotrodpaul</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I was just planning on cleaning off the dirt, fixing any issues but maintain the original finish. I have already adjusted the valves, rebuilt the original carb, cleaned and lubricated the distributor, and installed a NOS Dist cap. The inside of the heads and valve covers were clean as a whistle. The original valve springs are weak after 46 years and will be replaced for insurance against valve float. Car has some neat options. Original owner was a woman in Ohio and I think she got tired of muscling the steering wheel without power steering. She may have also been going through a divorce from my records and sold it to a gentleman in 1970 who parked it in 1973 until found in 2009.

Best part of the paragraph..........&quot;valve float&quot;! Love hearing that. Pictures would be great.
Thanks in advance.

wow I would not touch anything to do with the patina on the car, the endura bumper looks awesome on a cortez silver car!

It is perfect just the way it is, that being a survivor.

I guess the question is, what do you have to gain by &quot;taking it apart&quot; verses keeping it 100% intact as per the factory? Not to cast judgement, but you consciously bought a real true survivor.....correct?

Here is something to ponder, if you <span style="text-decoration: underline">take apart a true survivor</span> without making any alterations, other than cleaning everything, is it still a &quot;true survivor&quot;?

At the end of the day, like I always say, it is your name on the title and not mine. Who am I to cast judgement. But if you were to ask me, well then.....

My 69Z is a 04C. I would be interested in some dates. Carb, Dist. and block.
Thanks, Steve.
