It is not an a/c car. From the discussions I've read on the tanks there is a lot of conflicting opinions on what was original equipment. I think more people have stated with a/c was brass because it was thinner and longer to clear the compressor and without a/c was aluminum on bb cars. There are long threads on this topic which get confusing.

The L-36 had a 5400 rpm tach. The only '69 car with 5600 rpm tach was the L-46...350/350hp small block engine. It would also have had the regular hood on it. Actually, that is probably a more desirable engine for a '69, anyway. And it would be a lot easier to rebuild the engine you have now into an L-36 than swap over to a BB setup.
Are you sure it's a 5600 rpm tach and not a 5400?
