NCRS, are "the keepers of the flame". I used to be a member, last century! I left when they dinged me for 316 SS fasteners in the 69.....
Someone has to be ****. lol

I'm not a resto-mod guy, but still somewhat of a purist....like a Pertronix is ok, Painting your CE purple, and then STILL calling it a CE, not so much.

Ours is a late '68 and it has staples. I got out the magnifying glass to see if they were the correct date code, but couldn't see it.

I seems to recall that 1969 late builds was the dividing line between stapled and not. My late 69 build has the "push-in" type...
