Thank you very much Bill for the detailed reply. I certainly appreciate it. If you lived in Tucson, I'd buy you a beer (or two).

Any ideas? The 68 came with the option of a 350 hp didn't it? My original '68 SS is stamped like this on the pad on the block in front of the passenger head. T 400 EU 8K119978 400=Turbo 400 auto trans EU=350hp 396 cid engine 8K119978=the last digits of the VIN # stamped on the plate on the dash that can be seen through the windshield on the driver's side. This is how you know if you have a #'s matching car (unless someone restamped the motor or VIN) If it's a true SS, the VIN will be 138xxxxx. The 8 denotes the SS option. Hope this helps.
