Sept of 1967 used a 40568 on all 396 engines. The 40470 was used in 1967 model year 396 375hp. In or about Aug 1968 the 40568 was used. The first 40727 I have recorded is Oct 1969....Joe

What is the VIN? I've been looking for mine for 49 years....Joe

Same here,...owned the car for 44 years, semi-actively looking for mine for at least 30 of those years.

Although an 02 built block would be too early for mine, I'd like to see the VIN anyway, please?

Mine most likely was a 02xx or something close to that. Not always 1st in, 1st out.....Joe

That car is looking great Jim. I can see now that I need to redo my grill. Nice to see you have the end pieces that rivet to the grill. Lots of 68s are missing those after the years....Joe

The only thing I could think of is that it keeps it from rotating. That loop also might just be heavy enough to keep the wires in place.....Joe

Thanks Joe, I was looking at the assembly manual and it calls for a 9428471 screw to mount the tank, but cannot find it anywhere on the internet.  Do you have a pic of the proper screw?

I doesn't look like I took a picture of it. Let me look tomorrow & I'll see if I can describe it....unless somebody has a known picture....Joe

This one? Sorry for bad pic.

That's the type. Pcture is fine.
Position #C is the area in question. Thank you, Joe

« on: February 24, 2025, 04:54:49 PM »

I'm trying to help a friend with his 1969 convertible. He has a broken screw/bolt at the pivot near what would be a roof rail on a coupe. I can't find any drawings for the top in the parts books I have. I came up with a possible part number of 4412920 but it's hex. All the hardware on his car, & 3 other I looks at, were large slotted...kind of like a licence plate screw. Can anybody help me with a part number for the correct screw/bolt? I usually don't have this much problem with parts. Thank you, Joe
