Thanks Eric! Only one of the former owners is going. The main reason is that I was not sure if the car would be done in time.

The car is ready to go now though, with the one exception being the ammeter that is not working.

A little late, but the exhaust manifold heat riser should be installed so that the weight is on the outboard side.

Are you sure Jeff? I asked Mike and Andrew to install it just like JohnZ said and to make it look like his Z/28 engine pictured below. They did exactly what I asked.


JohnZ wrote: “The “extension” was used on all cars at the RH exhaust pipe-to-manifold attachment, in addition to the heat riser valve; it supports the inside diameter of the packing, keeping it from disintegrating (it was also used on the other side). The illustration in the A.I.M. is incorrect – it should show the heat riser valve too. If you look in the “non-illustrated parts” sheet at the beginning of the L34/L35/L78 sections, under UPC 6, where it has the line item for “intake & exhaust manifolds & heat control”, it shows the “assembles same as production” symbol (the “heat control” is the heat riser valve). ”
