FYI, The above 5/8" x 1" oblong hole wheels were only made/used on Jan-early June 70 Z-28's, before changing to 13/16" x 1" holes on late June/July Z's, which stayed through the 1974 Model Year. It wasnt until the reintroduction of Z-28 in 77' when the ROUND hole wheels came out. [/ QUOTE ] Here's a link supporting Chuck's comment, to some research I did on the wheel hole size vs date "timeline" if anyone is interested. http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showth...ght=valve+hole

The way that GM set the spped for the line to keep moving did not allow for anyone to dwell over a mistake, as the next car on the line was coming to get its part.  [/ QUOTE ] Not true. Each area had a dedicated repairman. Anything that wasn't done right could just be tagged and he would fix it while the car was still in the area or more major items could be corrected in repair bays after the rolls test. This was just someone not doing their job.  The 772 fan and the unstamped fan were functionally equivalent and were interchangeable. All depended on what was in stock in the plant.....

We'll get Tim to bring that old white Z he bought . And HotrodPaul can meet him along the way with his Citrus 2nd gen collection..
