A '69 400 in a GTO, Firebird or GP would have had either 48# or 62# castings...depending on application. Two barrel cars are the exception. Check Eric White's book...it is accurate as far as I know. Others...not so much. Ron
Thanks for the clarification Ron. The NOS fenders I picked up from you/your son look great!
