Looks Great!

I need the special bolts for the wiper motor, this will be next on the list.

I bet you a coffee the positive cable is installed correctly and installed the same as original. :-)

I think you owe Dan a coffee. manual trans goes over the valve cover.

oil cap is not correct 68-70 version. looks like you are missing the engine lift loop on the front of the driver side of the intake. Of course there's the balancer too :-)

Thanks Chris.

I have the oil fill cap otw (I think it should be painted....)

Also I have the lift hook media blasted just need to paint and install.

I need to find a Californian who will take my original Balancer to Damper Doctor for me. (I can’t bring myself to mail/ship it) I will bring my original to MCACN as a conversation piece.

I would love to have more Info on the battery cable,
I reread the Assembly manual and still think I have it correct, other than right down at the starter I could run the purple and yellow a little more correctly. I also don’t see any pictures or notes stating if the yellow and purple go down the tube or not?

I don't have a '69 assembly manual... From looking at the '68 manual, it shows that all 350 engines went over the inner fender, with the battery cable tube oriented differently depending on trans type. For 400 engines, the auto trans went over inner fender, but manual trans went over engine/valve cover.

I attached pictures of each.

What do the '69 PIM pages say? Did Olds make a change for '69?

I see the same thing in the 1969 Assy Manual.
