Mike's correct, standard single exhaust hanger that came on all '69 Camaros.
Got it confirmed via this CRG thread, as mine was partially cut out: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=12901

Thanks guys. I assumed it was something like that. Just don't recall ever really noticing one on my earlier Z/28 cars. Might have been there...just didn't ever look or notice one before.

The Valve covers with unequal length recess slots on the top rail are 1973 and later the unequal "longer slot is for accommodation of the EGR provision on the intake manifolds.
The date inside the cover says 86.
The early L46 Z28 had no drippers and equal recess slots on the top rail -even my Nov 1969 assembled L46 corvette had no dripper covers. -
the 70 Z28 LT1 and Deuce covers had twist in cap equal length recess slots and drippers
71-72 had equal slots, smooth round hole for PUSH IN Rubber oil fill, and drippers
73 and UP L82 Z28 has unequal slots twist in cap and drippers.

That some great info Jag.

As an aside, it's been discussed here as well as a bit more in depth over on CRG where it's noted that some late built cars comparable with this 10E (Last week of Norwood production) have already shown up with a number of the cars having 70 style dripper covers on them.

At this point in time, 1970 parts were already in full production and did begin to appear on both Camaro's as well as Corvettes. Same holds true for a couple members here with cars built the same week who have contacted me and also have early dripper style covers. From the dates on the covers that came on this particular car, it's since been determined a previous owner must have updated the covers to an over the counter set at some point. I'm really not in any rush to change them right now, but when I do find a set of survivor 70 style early covers such as the 3965543 & 3965544 covers shown below, I will in all likeliness be changing them out.

Other parts on this Nov 3rd car including the bell housing and thermostat cover also share part numbers with the 70 Z/28. Thank you for adding the valve cover info. Lessons on part numbers and change orders are always appreciated. As always...I'm still learning here.

Between working on underside of the car, I've been busy cleaning other parts including the smog components. I sent the pump off to Bill hodel where he took it apart to remove the veins from the pump so it's functional looking but doesn't pump air any longer. The tubes will be blocked off so everything looks right when I reassemble it, but also won't be popping or backfiring either. The internal parts have been kept so it can be returned to functional service if needed. The pump has been mildly cleaned and detailed to match up with the cars motor having been rebuilt and painted, as have most of the other parts. In cleaning the hoses and check valves it's easy to see everything is original, but is all over the place with dating.

The 7801149 Smog Pump is dated 293rd day of 69 while it was equipped with an early style 29295 Diverter Valve. Both appeared to have always been together and had very similar aging where where nothing looked to have been changed at any point? In addition, the bolts all looked to have never been apart nor did the original gaskets when I separated them for cleaning. Bill Hodel and I discussed the hoses as well since they are dated quite early. Again, they don't appear to have ever been apart and also have mixed clamps with most being 3/69 dated and only one having an earlier 1/69 date.

As I have now learned with a late built car, one can expect the unexpected so I am not going to start switching things around as the parts all appear to have been married to each other for quite some time and I am told that all sorts of oddities exist with late cars where they scrambled to find parts to complete the assemblies. In discussing the hoses further, Bill had said these early hoses and quite rare and very hard to find. The hoses are are 3932476 marked RC GM with a dotted Box and the short hose is 3932478. They have correct 5361992 check valves, and I have all the correct brackets and original RBS marked for the system. Still working on the original smog rails to clean them up to where I am happy with them. More on those at a later date.

Cleaning and detailing is definitely not my favorite task Ryan.

I spent a couple hours under the car this afternoon and while I might not have gotten very far with cleaning, I am seeing some great results. First was a bit of degreasing followed by a few passes with the graffiti remover. It actually works pretty well on the floors and has left this au natural finish which looks a little aged. Exactly what I was shooting for, but there's a lot left to do before I'm close to being finished. Here's one section of the passenger side floor and tunnel area which cleaned up rather nicely.
