Maybe this has something to do when or where the car was built.

I think Heat shields came on the 1965 and 1966 Impalas with the 396 and 427 and also the 1965 Z-16.

I just got thru looking at Mr. MacNiesh's definitive book on 69 SS and Z's, and in the pictures I didn't see any shields on any of the big block cars pictured. Anyone check with Ed Cunneen and see if those are installed on any of his cars?

Heat shields were not used on Camaros or Chevelles except the Z-16s.

In the 67-68 Definitive Fact Book by MacNeish, third edition, page 10 shows a picture of heat shields on a 68 Z28.They are original. Tony
