Default Engine bay pic request 69 350/350

Restoring the 69 with a 350/350 combo back to factory and the only thing left to do is change the carb, manifold and dist..all of which i have. Im just looking for details so i know what goes where and what its supposed to look like with the distrubutor cover etc. I dont have the pollution pump and emissions garbage yet but id like to get that on there as well. Thanks for your help guys

I have a 72, so I'm not able to help you.

But... You might get a response after normal working hours, after people are able to get home, and find/take a picture of their stock 69 engine bay, then upload it for you.

I have a 1969 350 / 350 that is a numbers matching car, does not have the smog pump either but I am pretty sure it's all stock with that one exception.
My engine compartment is not detailed but, I would be happy to take a picture of it for you if you'd like.

That is real pretty! Does your car have a/c? Your shroud and radiator setup looks a little different then mine. Looks like you have a storage tank with a radiator cap on the passenger side fender where as my 350/350 has a cap right on the radiator. My car is non A/C.

Hi,
I believe besides a/c, whether a car was a 4-speed or auto had an affect on which radiator and shroud it used; and what overflow/surge tank (if any) it had. Perhaps VB will know.

Alan

From what Ive seen on the NCRS site and in Bizzoco's book on 1969s, its seems a little inconsistent regarding the radiator setups. My red air 350 horse car did not have the surge tank if I remember right. Could have been differences by date/VIN as well.
