Just curious if the car has the 6500-8000 redline tach?

Shot of the speedo showing mileage and one of the 8K tach.

That's how it should be clocked. That's factory. Only a/m floor pans make them symmetric.

I agree Dave. It's welded in correct position and matches with the original floors in other cars I just checked. All good here.

Sorry Graeme, my bad ! In the picture it appeared to be in a 10-4 o'clock position not 11-5. Maybe it was the scrapes on the metal below, if that's what I'm seeing ???

I'll be interested to see how the floor pans clean up. Below is my Lemans blue '69. Its all blue/gray color and no black at all.

We have some decent pre-winter temps coming here today so I'm going to add a few miles to the car to burn off the rest of the fuel before I pull the tank and tear out the current exhaust. After I carefully clean the undercarriage and detail the hard lines and cables, it'll get a new Gardner exhaust system with the tank restored in time for spring. Smog system will be going back onto the car and it promises to be an even better car once I've gone through it over the winter.

Here's a shot of it resting before the work gets started. Likely the closest the car will come to hibernating this winter. Stay tuned...

Searching for missing parts has been productive the past week. Happy to have found a nice original May distributor that I can rebuild for the car and have an NOS tune up kit coming for it as well. The car is getting a new exhaust system c/w resonators from Gardner, and a host of other parts have started to arrive so I can get to work and dial in the Z. Also caught up with Bill Hodel for a good chat yesterday and will send him the smog pump for servicing before it goes back onto the car.

I'm going to keep this car as factory stock as possible. A shift from the performance based drivetrains I've grown accustomed to over the years. I must be getting old or something? In saying that, I'm trying to take a less is more approach to the horsepower and enjoy what the factory put out. Here's the dating on the distributor that I sourced to replace the one missing from the car. Great patina on an original casting, and soon to be torn down and rebuilt before dressing it with an NOS cap, h/d GM points, and rotor. I'm still searching to see if I can find a nice set of factory ignition wires for it a have some Acniter R43 plugs coming too.

Can anyone suggest somebody who can spin up a distributor put a good curve on it that's perfect for a factory 30/30 cam?

Hey Graeme, just curious if it has the original gas tank. I picked one up with a bunch of other parts recently from a late '69 dated "5 70". My pro-touring friends throw away lots of nice stuff !
