c3-68' ignition shielding
How many pieces of shielding are there on a 68'?
I have the following:
L & R vertical pieces. attached to the box and engine block.
The box and lid that is around the dist. and it's two mounting brackets.
On the left and right side of the engine near the firewall there are two wire loom brackets.
And one metal piece that goes between two of the plugs and manifold.
On each exhaust manifold there are twisted steel brackets that attach using one manifold bolt.
I am looking for original pieces. Ecklers offers a complete kit. There can't be that many pieces as shown in the catalog.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

There are that many pieces.
Dist/Coil Box & Lid
RH/LH Vertical brackets (attach to manifold)
RH/LH Vertical Shielding
RH/LH "Boomerang Shielding (Lower side of engine block)
RH/LH Heat shields, 2 per side (between exhaust manifold and spark plugs)
RH/LH Outer shielding, 2 per side (Covers the spark plugs)
RH/LH Attach brackets, 4 per side
RH/LH Ignition wire brackets, 2 (Attach on rear of engine block)
And about 20 wingnut bolts holding it all together.

FWIW: Original 68 pieces might be very hard to find.
The assembly instruction manual (AIM) if you don't have one.
The AIM shows the installation of the stock plug wire routing, brackets, loom, grommets, heat shields, etc. All cars received these parts.
The U69 Options section in the AIM shows the ignition shielding installation and related parts. Only cars with an optional factory radio got the ignition shielding.
