Yes, it would have originally come from the factory with chrome covers.

Very early repo tach

I thought all LS6 cars came with A.I.R. systems. The manifolds on it do not appear to have been tapped. No holes or plugs.

They did.
Based on the few pics posted,it looks like it's a mid '70 year assembly &amp; had some incorrect parts put on it,both then &amp; now,but all can be fixed.
1969 Master cylinder,then &amp; now.
1969 drivers side ex. manifold.,now.
1969 engine pull hook,now.
Cowl leaf grilles,now.
Nice to see it has the correct LS-6 w/a 4:10 upper radiator hose &amp; top radiator panel...many over look that.

All the wrong things the car has is easy to correct.
Over all a beautiful El Camino.
Should have the side post battery as well and the small circles on the dash should be black not silver, i bet it has the over the counter angled washer bottle as well as the bottle looks very bright [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

It's possible it came with an R-59 top post battery originally.
Very few did,but possible.

The car has no build sheet so we will never know what battery it really came with but i agree that some LS6 did come with R-59 if it is stated on the Build sheet.

I see that it has the AIR and chrome valve covers in the BJ pictures. When they restored it, they must have re-installed the good stuff.

HELP,
Does the TCS relay/switch get mounted on the firewall on an Automatic LS6 and on the wire gutter on a 4SPD LS6????? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
