Ok, wasn’t sure about adjusting it when the car wasn’t running. There are some threads showing. Thanks for the reply

Headers are currently off of my 69. Can I try to adjust worm gear without the engine running? The car is a power steering car. The front end is off the ground. I would appreciate any help.

I agree, that’s a good idea

Thanks everyone for your comments

Appreciate it, no AC so I’ll go with that.

Thanks for the help. Any thoughts about the shroud? I’m leaning toward it didn’t have one

Have a 69 RR with 383 4 speed. Build date is Jan 3, 69. The partial build sheet doesn’t help. Is there any way of knowing if it originally had a 22” or 26”? Car was built in California, would it have had a shroud?. The radiator that’s in it now is 26” wide. I would appreciate any input, thanks.

Thanks I do better with pictures than words

Coat hanger makes sense. So maybe I have just a lap belt as standard

can anyone tell me what color blue the seat belts were on the 69 decor dark blue/light blue interior? Also would it have had the 3 point shoulder or the lap belt. It was a December 68 production car. There is a threaded hole in the roof just above the post so I'm thinking it was originally...

Ok, yeah I got the VIN but am having trouble with build date on block. I will check the area in front of dist. Think it got painted over. I see a machined area but alternator is kinda in the way. Think I'll pull it off and use steel wool and see what I find. Thanks

Can someone tell me where on my 383 is the build date stamped. I've been told it's around the distributor but I think it has been painted over. Is the surface vertical or can you see it when looking down at the block. Do I have to pull alternator to see it?

Thanks guys, I am pretty much a traditionalist. Like many of you, I grew up with these cars and back then everybody had headers and other bolt on horsepower getters. The car is mostly correct and I prefer doing what I can to keep it that way. Not really doing this for anyone but me. I appreciate...

Thanks Roadcuda sounds good.

Thanks, it is a numbers matching car and am trying to get it back to as close to original as possible. You are confirming the way I preferred to go. Appreciate all of your expertise and time. Now my 2nd question, the fender tag shows a build date of January 69, the Carb that I've found for sale...
