Right matching 35 1/8"

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

Spotlight is working know. The reason for the short circuit was in this case not the switch, but thank you again for the advise. The reason was a corroded inner bar, therefore the full axial movement was not possible and the lamp was wrong assembled. The rear contact was collided with the gear key.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

Is there trim that finishes the interior hole?

Morning Brian,
still in Chevyland, but ready to go. Found a new car enthusiast. At the moment looking for a shipping company.

Plan is to restore the engine as an exact copy of my existing original one, means no electronic, no plastic, no chrome, all in 1967 spirit. :metal:

Heads have to be the 492 one

Back in Force (at home) Dale.
Hope you are well.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

Good to see ya posting. I'm doing fine.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

So a little bit work on the heads. They are already resurfaced, because of concavity. In the outer area 0.3 mm (0.011811") removed. Have collected some pictures especially for beginners to imagine.

Cylinder heads 3991492 ( Inlet valve diameter 2.02 inch /Outlet valve diameter 1.60 inch & screw- in rocker arms, straight plug,complete, GM 3987376)

Casting date L96
9 = 9.
L= Dezember
6 = 1964,1974
Chevrolet teased the aftermarket in the mid-to-late ‘70s, first with over-the-counter service replacements like the 3991492 head

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

Next part head dimension 3991492

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

My favorite if I'm not in US and drinking IPA

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

Measurement of the hole for the temperature sending unit, guessing 1/2 NPT, will show evidence later.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project

Insvestigation where to measure the valve shaft ( Approx, 1.5" of the shaft is in the chamber and the valve guide is round about 2" long. Differences between several instruments. Use the micrometer therefore (3 Positions all 0.3414")
