Re: 69 big block starter heat shield
John,
Great images of the shield! You-da-man!  What car & build date did this shield come off of? Galvanized steel- huh? So much for the stainless steel only issue? I wonder why some were stainless and yours is not. Production use vs. replacement item perhaps?  Anybody care to chime in on that? Steve

Re: 69 big block starter heat shield
This is a swap meet treasure. The guy I got it from had no idea
what it came off of. He was just cleaning up his garage. I was glad to help him out.

Re: 69 big block starter heat shield
Is the shield stainless or galvanized?
Its a no-brainer!! Galvanized steel is magnetic, stainless is NOT. Use a simple magnet if in doubt. Keep in mind that GM always used two different part suppliers to avoid interuption at the final assembly plants. Its possible that some cars got stainless and others got gavanixed.

Re: 69 big block starter heat shield
Yes some stainless is magnetic, it depends on the nickle content. I believe 304 stainless is non-magnetic.
