Charlie has a really nice 69 L89 El Camino that I've seen a few times at the Pavs. Very nice guy too. If I'm not mistaken I think it's a low mile survivor? Haven't seen Charlie or the El Camino in over a year though with all the sillyness going on so my memory might be a little fuzzy.

----Heads, exhaust and intake have never been removed on the El Camino that I know of. It had some performance work done on it as the original owner was a marine hi perf engine builder, but none of the above were touched. It had a double pumper carb on it but the original carb came with it and I reinstalled it. I remember it also having a Mallory dizzy, but can't remember if I changed that back to the original or not....Bill S

Thank you Charley. Chris mentioned something about there possibly being a washer under the head bolts and this confirms it. Do you have any photos of the exhaust and intake bolts? I believe the intake are the same as in all BB aluminum but was insure on the exhaust as normal BB bolts have a special thread and was not sure they used those on the aluminum heads as well. Thanks again.
