restoration pictures

[SNKEBIT]

Is there a go to book or something for finding pictures of the way stuff was factory? Doing a 69 Bee and need to see where and how some things go together.
TIA

Start reading the restoration threads. That would be a very good place to start. As for books https://shop.mmcdetroit.com/

Agree with dadsbee for sure. The David Wise books (MMC Detroit) are a must-have if you want to reference factory practices. Not a bible, mind you, but a fantastic resource. Going to large Mopar events such as the National Convention in Carlisle and photographing documented original cars is another way to discover how things were done, not done or how they varied within the same year from plant to plant.

Threads like this over in the restoration section are helpful as well....

Always, always rely on what you find and document on your car 1st before using things that may or may not be correct for your car based on build plant.....

..unless someone convinces you to swap your heater hoses to the FSM, from the way some stoned line worker installed them originally!!

Actually, it was two people that "asked" me to switch them for the judging......Funny, thing is those two people also missed the infamous "washer" reservoir after scouring over my car over and over.........So I caved in for the sake of not getting a deduction.....
