I couldn't remove it, but was able to photograph it.

no haven't done that yet but will eventually too much other "Stuff" goin on but little progress on engine - still needs Intake installed

I owned this '69 Chevelle before Zman1969, and I found a partial build sheet under the driver seat and another partial build sheet in the passenger side rear seat back. (which he has now)
Hopefully there is another one someplace else.

My build sheet was found in the back seat but I did not find it. The guy I bought the car from found it. Nothing on the gas tank, and the front seat had been recovered. My car is a bench seat.

Mark good to know I'll stop looking for anything more I just figured there would be more of it
so these 842 heads are about done they were milled enough intake needed to be milled down .060" and .125" on the ends 3 trips to machine shop anyway its fitting much better, someone did me a favor and had welded up the crossover, glad it wasn't the date that should be on the car

well, I'm glad that's finally done! now to find a weekend to do the swap the nice thing about a beater is this will only see limited nighttime use its next caretaker can make it pretty.
the drivers head has a plug where temp sender should be and it looks like its been in there a long time and I don't want to break a tool off trying to remove it - any suggestions?

That's the same 90005 FelPro gaskets that I always use. I love those gaskets. Be careful with those valve springs. Rust on a spring can cause it to fail.
