Ignition Shielding Information Request

[Harold A.]

The pictured ignition shielding came with my 1967 Corvette (L79). Can you confirm what year it is for, I don't think its correct based on what I have found on this site. Thanks in advance for your help. thumb_IMG_4317_1024.jpgthumb_IMG_4318_1024.jpg

Rivets on top are metal or plastic?

Re: Ignition Shielding Information Request

They are plastic.

I'll speculate from examining your two pictures that it's a '65 model year (3864671) with the top portion of the front grounding clip broken off; a 'carb' rear grounding clip, but attached in the cover's FI slot.

Re: Ignition Shielding Information Request

Thanks for the response. Anyone want to trade for a 67 ignition shield?

Harold, the best article on 63-7 Shielding was done by John Amgwert in the Corvette Restorer and was reviewed before publication by at least 15 people. Seek it out.

Richard, I just found this thread with the link you provided to reach the John Amgwert article. When I tried the link I only got an error message. Do you know if this link has expired and whether or not there is another way to reach John's article?

Thanks, Richard Powell

Richard, Send me a PM with your email address and I'll emai it. It's too big to attach here on the TDB as it exceeds filesize limits.

Richard, Got your PM. Just emailed to you. It's apx 4.75Mb, fine for email, but too big as a attachment here.

PS I think when Vinnie Peters puts these files on the server, it's for temporary use only. That's why it gives a FIle Not Found Error.

Harold,

It sure looks like the shielding dome on my original 67 327/300. Plastic rivets on the top.

Can't tell for sure from the photo, but it looks like the front clip to the air filter housing has been replaced. One should see only two rivet heads holding the clip in place. The rivet washers should be on the inside.

Harold,

I compared the pictures you posted with my original 67 327/300 and they almost look exact (except for the replaced front clip)

Here's a picture of mine before I replaced the broken front clip (broken is usual):
