Jeff,
Today was a spastic day. A couple issues with me encroaching on the neighbors property line with all my tree cutting. Did a bunch of raking, shoveling, pulling up roots, seeding, and covering things up while getting soaked. Then the shed came in and then Jerry Macneish came.
The good: Legit Z28, original drivetrain...engine, trans, etc.
The bad: bunch of little crap that has been changed over the last 42 years....f'd up wiring, harmonic balancer, one section on the underside that got dented, etc. etc. Jerry will send a full report in about a week.
The ugly: He said it should have a frame-off restoration, due to repainting in a bunch of sections and all the surface rust. He does restoration work on parts (he does not do body work/car restoration) and I had him take the brake booster, master cylinder and distributor with him. These items have incorrect replacements but Jack gave me the originals that had huge amounts of rust on them.
Boomer, If you are still looking for a 69 Z carb, I can PM you some info on matching the correct dates and what the jets and power valves should be.
The carb that is on the car now is a Holley Street Avenger and is nowhere near correct, but I found someone selling a date correct carb restored by Eric Jackson of Vintage Musclecar Parts so I bought his carb.
.....the next step is figuring out the restoration plan.
Also, I will get pics of the shed/garage up soon.
