First pic is smog AIR tubes for a Small Block. Second pic is some kind of custom dash insert with Warner or Smith gauges.. looks like its for a Mid Year Vette (63-67). No idea what the third pic is. Fouth and fifth pics are of a burret. Its a fluid measuring device used by engine builders to measure combustion chamber, runner and crevice volume.

A few more,
Thank you for the help. The pile continues. I can’t find this GM number on line. In the box is a door panel, Black and I’m guessing it’s a 69?
As for the others they aren’t so easy.

Lol that’s the reason I swallow my pride and post some of the things I can’t tell. Would hate to pitch something I or someone could use in the trash

The door panel is not a 69, not sure what year, but not 69. If the dash speaker still works, someone might be interested if they are doing a NCRS restoration. The metal plate with the cable looks to be a shift cable for an automatic. The plate side is mounted near the steering wheel.

The door panel is for a '68, I can't recall if that is the early or late design though. The speaker is not a dash speaker, it is a kick panel speaker. They only used those in '68 and I believe '69. The metal plate and cable is the transmission lockout. And I can't tell you much on the distributor since it appears the tag telling you what it is and when it was built is missing.

In the first group of pics, the third one with the little triangular top. I believe that is an old spark plug cleaner. Used back in the day before we simply though everything out. Ike

the door panel is a 1968 early style(pre-May '68)without the horizontal strap pull which was added about May to help pull the door closed. It was on a manual or crank window car.

not unusual, its just an eaarly 68, which would be nice in my car, mine have seen better days. The black can looking thing looks like an oil baffle from an early style 327 that had a draft tube instead of a pcv system
supposed to be this
modded into pcv

Really!? Thats cool, the one we had at the garage back in the 70's was a little sand blaster that you put the threaded end into and it had a little canvas bag attached to that that held the silica. It was a cool little unit. It did a great job on fouled plugs

Well that’s what I was told. Send me some fouled plugs and we will give it a try
