Thanks for the reply Charlie. Yes, the inside of the carb is amazing! I figured the gaskets would be shriveled up though. Heck, they didn't last a year back then let alone almost 40. The newer ones are much better. I'm with Mike on the oil filter & gas tank thing. I would suggest an oil and filter change if you plan on running it. If the filter comes off ok you could always spin it back on for judging. I just wouldn't run it till it was spun back off though.

Does the ignition lock cylinder have the red paint on it or bare? Great stuff Charley.

I spoke to Norman today and we talked about his car running again after 36 years. He told me he found out Doris passed away in December. In talking about the car and paint quality he remembered and told me about what looked like a D lightly scratched in the nose piece and sure enough it was there. It was there when he got the car.

I stuck my camera under the spare tire. Notice no paint on the edge of the rim. Also the tie strap on the jack. There is another of those straps on the trunk floor.

Charley, when you get a chance, could you update the hood and trunk stripe dimensions called out in the 1970 Camaro Assembly manual on sheets B2 and B3 of the Z28 option code using your car for reference, then post them for all to see? The dimensions shown are for Norwood built cars. Thanks,

Paul
