Thanks Frank!!!
There is a lot of debate on the underbody color. The problem is there was gray primer applied by hand some cars got a lot of gray primer and some got none. The judges expect 30% gloss black (I think it's 30%, but definitely black). I decided to have it painted to what I believe was there originally. Lots of gray primer.
Originally the filters were a white PF25. I think at some point in 1969 they changed to or from a white PF29. I have a reproduction PF25 on there right now. An original 44 year old one would deteriorate rapidly and would probably not be very good for the engine.

No, it originally had a flat hood. Cowl induction came out half way through 1969 and this car was made too early to have a cowl hood. The original flat hood is on it right now.
The battery on the car right now is a Y55. It is an original battery and it took me about a year to find one. I have a post on 69 Z/28 batteries here:

Also, the DZ302 shown in post #309 is not my engine. It's from one of the main guys in the Camaro Research Group - JohnZ. I was using his engine as an example for Jeff68 to see if my heat riser is on wrong.
The car is in my trailer and we're leaving at 6 am tomorrow!
