Interesting topic. Looks like the line is below the spear on the fender in that pic.
Mine goes up to the center of the spear. Pretty much follows the center of the spear retainer.

Mine is below the spear point. Basically the tape line follows the hole in the fender for the spear, which is below the spear point. Just like Joe pictured.

ZL1 #55 lost its original short block early in 1970. At the ZL1 re-union at SC-Indy in 1989, an individual that worked at Whit Chevrolet was there and said he had the original. At that time, the car had just been sold to the Otis Chandler collection. I do not know if Chandler bought the engine. When the car sold at Mecum Indy 2008, the purported fully re-built original engine was on a small trailer behind it.
For 38 years, the car did not have its original engine. Obviously, the heads have been off and may not be the originals. If it is an original engine ZL1 Camaro you desire, some concessions will be necessary. Good catch eagle-eyes!

I believe the original engine was purchased when Dave C. owned it. The original block was stored under the bench of the mechanic that replaced it under warranty at the dealership. The deal was consummated at the Supercar Reunion in 2004, 5 or 6. I was there but don't recall the year. Dave was somewhat reluctant to purchase at the asking price and Charley and I worked on him and the deal was done. I'm not sure the original engine was ever installed and lost track when Dave sold the car....

Joe Cheeks brought the orig. block to the Reunion. The current owner that bought the car at Mecum along with the orig. engine told me he has since installed it in the car. The pic Firstgenaddict posted I took before Dave C sold the car so it was the warranty installed setup. Looks like heads switched sides.......
