  1. I have received some interest and have had a few discussions. At this point they are waiting for me to finish the reassembly before they get serious. I haven’t advertised it yet.
  2. Legendary did a nice job with my Sandalwood 1970 cloth bench seat covers but, as mentioned, they aren’t cheap. You can’t tell any difference from my rear seat which is still original.
  3. According to the 1971 assembly manual this spacer is correct for the LS3 and LS5. The LS6 got the heat riser valve though. LS3 assembly Page stating the LS5 has the same assembly as the LS3 LS6 assembly
  4. The part numbers on my exhaust manifolds came back as 1970. The car was built in September 1970 so could be they still installed some 1970 manifolds at that time. This spacer/restrictor appears to be a factory type part but who knows for sure.
  5. Yes, 1971. I wasn’t aware the heat riser was eliminated after 1970. Maybe this spacer was in place of that? The manifold does have a beveled recess for the gasket but the exhaust was made to fit with that spacer in place. I don’t believe the exhaust pipe will reach the manifold. I’ll check the part number of the manifolds to see if they are for 1971.
  6. My pass side 454 exhaust manifold has a spacer on it. I assume it is to take the place of the original heat riser assembly. I’m not sure which direction it should be on the manifold. One side is more flat and the other has a bit of a rounded edge surface. I assume the flat side should face the manifold but that wasn’t the way it was when I took it off. Which way should this go? On another note, this piece looks restrictive with a hole smaller than my pipes. Maybe I should just get a more open spacer altogether? Flat side other side
  7. My 71 SS still has the original rotors with the groove in them at 88,000 miles.
  8. I know a guy that restores Chevelles and Montes not far from me. He happened to have a pair of 1971 valve covers so I traded him my 1969 valve covers for them.

    Both of mine are Baltimore.
  10. I was able to reunite a protectoplate I had with the current owner by posting it here. It took a year or so after my initial post but it can happen. It was great to see it go back with the car again.
  11. Welcome! That sounds like a nicely optioned car.
  12. Sorry you missed out on that car. There will be another. Good luck with the search.
  13. Coldest day so far this winter here. 21F. Still no snow. I took this photo on my way to work.
  14. I hope you find it. When you do, be prepared for a high cost to buy it. Good luck with your search. 🙂
