Bill I spent a little time checking out your ride at the MCACN, (at least the pass side) and it looked flawless!!
It was great to see it in person after watching the resto here on the site.

Great Job !!

I'll add that most of the ps caps I've seen on 69 Camaros are the plastic type. YMMV.

I have inspected 69 camaros built 09B (of 68)and they had black plastic caps. 67 and 68 were metal. The pump for 69 was changed and this may have has something to do with the cap change.

Steve,

Here are a couple more survivor photos of ps caps. First one is a 12K original mile 69 Camaro SB car, it has the plastic cap (built 6A). Second picture is a 26K mile 69 Chevelle SS (engine painted, ps pump unrestored/unpainted, built 2A).

Phil,

Regarding that survivor 26K mile 69 Chevelle... What plant was it built at?

I ask because my Chevelle was built 1B at Kansas City, and it has the plastic cap.

The Chevelle is a Baltimore car.

Thanks Mr Stone for checking out the Elky. Glad you liked it. Did we meet, or was I off checking out the other 500 muscle cars. I must have talked to a couple hundred people at the show, and I certainly can't remember them all. Man, was that a cool place to be, even if it was 13 hours away.
