69 Chevelle Re-Fresh...

[WILMASBOYL78]

Helping a local car friend with an under the hood 'refresh'...thought I would share a few photos and ask a couple of questions. This is not a 'concours' job...but we are trying to make it look nice. We have had some help from SYC members with parts and advice...much appreciated.

The motor is a base 396/325hp...he added the Motion style valve covers and an Edelbrock performer manifold. Engine has been gone thru...steel chain and gears, roller tip rockers, new water pump, new OEM oil pan, etc.

Questions:

-what is the correct color for dipstick tube and stick...and does the 325hp have the yellow tip?

-Muncie trans. with Hurst CP shifter...shouldn't there be bushings on the shift levers?

-Air cleaner base is missing the vent tube...does anyone sell this or perhaps someone here has a spare?

Thanks, wilma
