thanks!! I do have the one sticker in the back (HT I believe). Regarding the heads and intake, the intake is silver but where the heads attach to the intake (top) is currently orange. Is that are silver? Was it sprayed silver?
Really appreciate learning the details!!
Ed
i was always told for small blocks with aluminum intakes after the orange paint flint went over the intake runners against the heads and below the valve covers with silver paint. On low mile examples I have seen this It is in the judging manual. There is more right then wrong
First off, Ed, let me compliment you on a beautiful and nearly 100% correct engine compartment. The bolt holding the distribution block to it's bracket is black (correct) however, the distribution block should be natural (not painted black), The white nylon washer on the throttle linkage needs to be flipped around...the shoulder goes to the inside to keep the spring from rubbing on the rubber washer. Look at the end of your clutch rod where it attaches to the "Z" bar. Should have a jam nut...I can't clearly see one in your picture (see picture below). Does the fuse holder near the horn relay have "30 amp" written on it...it should. This is a great test for all of us. You've done a fabulous job. Ara taught me everything I know

Couple more pics:
As Ara mentioned. the master cylinder lid appears incorrect. Also, power booster and master cylinder missing small labels. Boy, this is nit-picking. Note...my clamps at the power booster are rounded, as well...originals were squared off.

Thanks.
1) just switched the nylon washer (see picture)
2) yes, my distribution block is painted (see better pic). Will need to fix.
3) yes, missing jam nut (see better picture)
4) yes, plastic holder says “30 amp”, it was flipped over
Ed,
A few years back the only correct supplier for the valve cover engine code decal (HT for your car) was Long Island Corvette. They had the correct open piece decal whereas the other suppliers offered a 2 piece decal. This required you to attempt to line up to the 2 decals to form the HT, which was easily detected and not correct.

Thanks. Mine should be HP not HT as I wrote. Here’s a picture on the car.
Ara,
I'm not seeing what is wrong with the master cylinder cap, help me out. Also, shouldn't the valve covers have the flaw, I'm not seeing it in the photos.
