69 Chevelle from N/J

[sixt9rsx33]

I have been following your thread here, and just saw your NCRS paperwork stating your car was a Framingham car. My 69 L78 Chevelle is a Framingham car too. Sold new at Monument Chevrolet Somerset Mass. My car needed a full restoration which is now 95% done and I have been working through the final details. Have fun with your build.

They were all the same length, and OF COURSE they claimed that no one else ever had a complaint about them So I sent the repro back to them and sent my original off to John Wolf & Co. in Willoughby OH. They have since rebuilt the one in my current 69 Chevelle too. Excellent workmanship and they both work as good as new.

Thanks Bill I will look them up
I got the repro too - same issue with ground wire, I did install it and seems to fixed gauge
well of course you know I filled tank last time out in it so tank was a bit of a handful
so now it reads full - not pegged full

AMK has some nice J clips that you can use for the heater box.

Thanks Woj! I have couple but wasn't sure what studs got them as per your pic they are different than my Camaro.

So I took the car out yesterday while it was cooler here to do a shakedown drive and ran pretty well except for the carb - secondary's just dump and bog it down , need to play with spring and set screw, but temp was fine with a stainless flex fan, even without a shroud on it. car floats around needs upper control arm bushings as the age has taken its toll and I have another plastic weld to attempt.
