69Z Air Cleaner Cover - Silk Screen

[enio45]

Does anyone make the silk screen decal for the air cleaner - goes on the underside of the air cleaner?

[BlueSS454]

If it's anything like the one used on open element air cleaner Chevelles, the words are embossed into the metal. I have an NOS one here somewhere I can take pics of if needed. You can fill in the letters with black paint using a very fine artist brush, if you have a steady hand of course <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif.

I believe the camaro ones are silk screened to the bottom of the lid??

Eddie - I spent a lot of time thinking about this since your email. I suggest reaching out to Mark (CamaroMB). This is his 17k mile car at MCACN. Fantastic example.

[enio45]

I looked at their web site and did not se the silk screen available for sale - im thinking u have to send them your lid?

thoughts?? ill call they on tuesday

[enio45]

Thank Dan - yes i was thinking about Mark - someone told me he sold that car????? mark - u out here??

Anyhow - if anyone has a 69Z with teh open element air cleaner - im in search of a pic of the carb to A-cleaner rod- looking for the correct length, deminisions of the bottom and top threads from the small flange on the stud etc.

Appreciate any help???

[Billohio]

Not sure what you mean by carb to air cleaner rod?

[mockingbird812]

I think Eddie is talking about the threaded stud that screws into the top of the carb.

[firstgenaddict]

I have no reason to believe this is not the original air cleaner stud for the 10D open Element Car I have. The carb was very original including the correct base plate before I sent it to Eric Jackson.

First pic shows the base of the stud, the second shows the length. With the assembly completely installed - the stud bevel at most sticks through the top wing nut

thank you - ill see if i can get a measurement from your pics to a real carb. Also - the plating on the rod - looks like in the restored photo it is zinc plated.......should it be phosphated with a chrome nut?

[Salvatore]

I believe zinc plated Ed. And I thought Johnny K. was tough.

[enio45]
