Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
Don't ever remember the exhaust manifolds being painted - they were bare cast. Also, I believe they should be ram horns for our 67-72's and the wires run down the back of the block and underneath the manifolds. That photo also bothers me in another way. All the old small blocks I have had have the dipstick on the driver's side. Didn't think they started pass side until about 1980? Guess I was a little slow on the manifolds - Andy beat me to it while I was typing.

Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
The point of this thread is to capitalize on the forgotten details that our trucks came with but were forgotten over time. I'll delete that picture if its inaccurate, let's not loose focus here

The picture just isn't peroid correct for our style truck. So if the person looking for help in his build see's this and assumes it correct they will be very upset when they findout it's not. Just saying...it is a nice color picture though of a small block Chevy engine.

Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
Andy, I am seeing a blown up picture of a Big Block chevy. The only small blocks are the multicolor cartoons at the bottom. It's correct as far as exhaust manifolds.
