Engine seal kit location
I bought an engine seal kit for my 76 vette from Ecklers, EC16H.
It came with several rubber seals. I found where some go but not others. Don't know where the 2 Fender skirt splash shield weatherstrips go. Or the Upper 7 lower fender seal kit, (6 pcs.) go. Or the Bumper brace seals go. Can anyone help for locations? JD

Hi JD,
I tried to find EC14H at Ecklers but couldn't; all their part numbers seem to be 4 or 5 digits.
So I'm not sure just what seals you're asking about.
I'm thinking maybe the seals for the top of the aprons to the hood surround, and perhaps the seals for splash pans at rear/bottom of the aprons.
Just a guess.
The second are easy to replace. The first can't be done unless serious front fiberglass work is being done.
Regards,
Alan

Order the assembly instruction manual (AIM) and you will not have to rely upon instructions from your kit vendor. The AIM will show you all of the factory installed seals, weatherstripping, dust shields, etc.
Trust me: you are going to want the AIM for other projects too.
