Joe </div></div> Just trying to get a rise out of Doug. I know Doug personally and he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to COPOs. If he says it could be a copo it probably is. As far as him wanting to buy it, who wouldn't? Never hurts to ask. Joe

talked to doug on the phone, boy what we went through.
we checked it all out.hockey sticks on the quarters to cowl hood wires to well we covered it all , from the front bumper to the back, no kidding. he found stuff on the car that was copo only and i never even knew it was there, he made me tell him first, he said look here for something, i said, i see something and he said what does it say, i told him and yup he confirmed it, then on to the next item again and again. his words on the phone: "congratulations it is a copo, go ahead have fun with it" he is a really nice guy, really helped me out, i talked to him probably 6 months ago? he was comvinced. i was like what??? |

hi guys
does anyone know if the oil line adapter for the 427 in a copo is brass or steel? mine is steel, not brass, ive had it in the block since the chicken coop days and thats a long time, it looks like the repro kind but it has had yrs of service, scarred up a little, but appears to be steel to me???? is there a protector for the black oil line that i have? it looks like a replacement since its black, shouldnt they be white nylon? seems it would burn against the manifolds or headers??? lemme know and thank you again. lemme know please. |

If you are talking about the adapter for the oil pressure sender, it is brass. As for the oil line protector, if you are talking bout the wire to the oil pressure sender, I'm pretty sure it should just have a black sleeve as thermal protection. There's a clip that attaches to the aftmost manifold bolt, to keep it away from the manifold.
What are you talking about when you say, 'hockey sticks on the quarters," and what is "COPO" about them? Not challenging, just curious. |
