After a month and a half of wrenching, waiting on parts, posting and researching questions here on Team Camaro I am very happy to say my '69 is back on the road. With the new ZZ4, original Muncie 4spd, and added power steering the car is truly a blast and joy to drive. I have owned 34 other cars, 3 other '69 Camaros, and this is by far the most fun to drive either around town or on the highway. While I was doing everything I also added some other goodies, the highlight being the Z28 finned aluminum valve covers that a friend of mine powder coated and with the Trick Flow adapters bolted right up to the alum. L98 heads. I still have some cleaning and detailing to do under the hood but that will come in due time soon. With the old car season getting in to full swing here I will be taking her out on many cruises, get togethers, and shows. Thank you to everyone here on the boards for helping me and answering my questions when I had them.

Very nice :thumbsup:enjoy Happy Motoring

X2! Happy Motoring! How upper radiator hoses were sampled before finding the correct one?

How many upper radiator hoses were sampled before finding the correct one?

A total of 3, an original '69 upper hose, a '92 Z28 hose, and a '90 Chevy truck hose. I used the truck hose and had to cut off about an inch off the end that goes to the thermostat housing.

looks great. if you have it handy could you post the part # for the hose. i gave up after a few trys and used a flex hose. i hate it.

I don't have the number but I got it at Oreilly Auto Parts, it was $17. I picked it because the trucks use the same serpentine setup that came with the ZZ4 so I figured it would have to work one way or another.

It looks good in there . Enjoy your hard work.
