Hi all- below are some details for my cars that I asked on camaros.org about supplying for their research. Ill be sending this over to them and hopefully they can use some of the info in their database. Anyway, given the vast amount of knowledge here, I wanted to pass this by all of you as well to see if anything below warrants further discussion or research in your very experienced minds. Sorry it’s a long post. You will notice some of the items Ive included may not be relevant, they were just items I noted about the cars condition. Im still missing some details..those will come later.
There are 2 specific items I would like any feedback on…under the 69RS please read the engine stamp issue and the DX1 paint detective story to see if it passes muster. My digital camera is on the fritz. Hope to get pics if needed soon. I appreciate any feedback about the cars. Thanks dave

The stamp area by the filter is not "machined" as neatly as you see on the front pad of a small block especially toward the end wher the 6 is so that may be a cause. After an hour of craning my neck to see this by the oil filter Im not sure what I was seeing..it was late.
