How many heat shields came with a radio equipped 69 small block?

Hi EM,
The number of 'heat shields' didn't have anything to do with the radio interference shielding.
All sb cars got a small J shaped shield at each pair of spark plugs and each side of the block had a 'boomerang' shaped shield that the 2 forward spark plug wires ran through.
Cars that had a radio as an option got the set of chrome plated shields in addition to the heat shields.
Regards,
Alan

In this photo the right side HEAT shields are the 3 lower pieces, plus the small wire loom bracket.

The left side boomerang HEAT shield in place.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Why won't my left side chrome static suppression shields fit over the heat shield covering the number 2 and 4 plugs

Hi EM,
Sorry, but without seeing your parts and their instillation it's difficult to say.
It has to be the right shaped chrome shield to fit over the right heat shield.
And the right brackets need to be used to mount the radio shields.
Picture?
Regards,
Alan

Hi RR,
It's the right rear radio noise suppression shield.
The hump and hole is for clearance for the CEC/TCS temperature switch in the right side head.
