Dan discovered that it has its original 4-Q-69 AC Delco spark plug wires on it still that definitely have a 'set' and also its original Delco cap and rotor...amazing. Dan also set the new cast iron intake in place...getting closer to looking more factory original...and running.

4-Q-69 date would be for 1970 vehicles.

Maybe they are 4th Quarter 68 wires ?
Instead of 4 Q 69 (70)

Either way he appears to have been a concerning owner.
And the car sure got lucky -AGAIN- when you guys came along.

Sorry, my bad, they are indeed 4-Q-68...2nd brain fart.

Thanks Kenth and BVZ!

Dan's rebuilding a 7029268 Q-jet for the 350HO, the picture is a teaser with another Q-jet to make sure the fuel line (old original from a past rebuild) fits. Dan found an old original thermo-vacuum switch with the plug and hoses (5 fittings) to add to the intake as well as the proper pcv nipple and coolant temp sensor for the idiot light. He needs to rebuild the carb yet, so could be running by Friday! We also see through the fuel pump opening in the timing chain cover that the cam gear is a steel replacement, so scratch that off the list.

Does anyone know if this is an original factory tire (now the spare)? It's an 8.25-14 Uniroyal Laredo 4-ply rated (WW)? '69 appears to have utilized both tire sizing methods, numeric (like above) and the letter series (G78-14).
