Re: Need some Critique on my 69
Brad,
All factory valve cover gaskets for BB engines were silver painted cork regardless of HP rating. Besides the other suggestions, I would look for a correct oil fill cap and not sure if AACA will catch this, but I don't think your upper front control arm shafts used the threaded ends with a nut. Chevelles usually have bolt on retainers for the upper bushings. Pontiacs and probably Buick and Olds used the style you have but I don't think Chevy did in 69. They definately do not use them on 70's. It looks as if your alternator fan could be incorrect as well, kind of hard to tell from the angle of your pics. If you need pics of the correct oil filler cap or any of the other parts I mentioned send me a PM or email and I'll forward you some. Are you going to the AACA show in Lakeland FL in Feb? If so I'll look you up as I intend to show a car there as well.
Regards, Chris
