Default Re: 69 Z/28 Numbers

Hey Darren,

Thanks for the info you have shared. I would be glad to post a photo if someone could teach me how. I have a digital camera but I do not know how to get a photo from my computer to a website such as this. As to the car I think the components are original but again, I really do not know. These things were not such an issue when I bought the car, at least not to me anyway. It has had an amateur detail job under the hood, and looks pretty good under there. It has been wrecked at some point in it's life on the right front - probably in a ditch or something. The radiator has been replaced and the fan blade and pulley were incorrect. From watching this website and others I concluded I needed a 772 fan and 7" pulley. I bought a fan and a repop pulley for it. Other than this it seems correct. Right trannie, booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve on the frame rail, 4 leaf springs, etc. It also has headers and I do not have the manifolds or smog system for it. This is the reason for this post. I wanted to know if you folks think the components are correct or if I need to try and find some other parts with different dates, part numbers, or whatever so I could get the car correct if need be. With prices getting to be what they are for parts and the fact a lot of the stuff is getting hard to find I thought I may need to act now before the parts get much higher. Again, I do not want to sell the car, I just want it to be correct. I am counting on some of you folks to help me out here. You guys know lead times, probability, etc. I have no clue, just the bits and pieces I have picked up from a few of these sites. This car spends its time in my basement. It probably doesn't see 500 miles in a year.

bbg..take the digital pics at a low setting like 640x480 and save them on your computer. When you are posting on this thread you can scrool down and click the "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file". Then you can just browse through your computers files and post the pics. Try it and you will figure it out.

Jerry MacNeish has complete restored smog systems for $1550 ( Smog ). I have seen exhaust manifolds go for around $1000 or more. Hmmm. But look at what I just found. ebay ended auction

Pretty disgusting to think of the value of the parts that my friends and I routinely threw in the garbage 35 years ago

The best I can tell I think the part numbers on my car seem to be correct, but what do you guys think of the dates? Does all this stuff seem to be in line with the 03D date on the data tag? As to the picture I will try to take one and post it on Sunday. How do you do the size?
