Default Playing "name the part"

I have a new to me 1968. The guy gave me a box of "spare" parts that I have figured out what most of them are but there are 2 parts that I do not know where they go????

The first pic is the air dam. it goes on the top of the radiator support & the fan shroud attaches to the bracket. There should have been a rubber flap attached to the top with staples. I think you can see the holes from the staples. The 68 AIM book will show you where it goes if you can't figure it out.

Purchase the assembly instruction manual (AIM) to go with it. You might also want the GM chassis service manual. Do you have an owner's manual?

This is a good referece to have:


You will soon learn there are a lot of one-year-only parts on the 68s. Dr. Dobbins' books shows a lot of them and lets you compare things to later models.
