1968 327 front marker badges, what do I back them with?

[1968chevelle327]

I ordered some oem 327 markers which look really cool but it didn’t come with anything to back them with? Never used these before any recommendations?

If you mean the "speed nuts", they're available at your local hardware store.

Oh cool

So something like this might work?

Home Depot

Every classic emblem I've installed came with the nuts. Not sure what size but they look like these. Does your emblem on the back have the studs?

 

[1968chevelle327]

Yes it has studs, was trying to figure out how to attach them

 

[cage2592]

Then yes it takes PAL Nuts.

 

[1968chevelle327]

Awesome thanks so much guys.

I’ll put calipers on them and see what size the studs are then Amazon it

I think I have some new gaskets in the bag that fit 68 marker lights and use some DumDum on the studs to keep water out so to help prevent rust, PM your address Ill mail the gaskets and a pc of DumDum, nice marker bezels

 

[1968chevelle327]

I just looked in the tool box here at home and I have 2 sets of 4 pcs, which set do you want? This is what happens when you start ordering parts a cpl yrs before you really need them lol I ordered 3 times

 

[1968chevelle327]

Well thanks so much

Not sure which would work best for the 327 emblems?

I think I still have some 396 emblems in a tool box at the car, I'll go there tomorrow and take a cpl pics with each type on an emblem

 

[1968chevelle327]

Oh awesome thanks so much!! I don’t really know the difference but the one I have has a 327 emblem and then a spot for the marker light

That’s awesome what motor?

That was a 1986 RV 454 with the RV T400 trans, it has a 1975 4 bolt main studded 489 and TCI T200r4 trans with a Freakshow 3,600 stall convertor now

 

[Shovelrick]

That 454 I ended up putting a Summit/Crane 226/226 @.050, .533/.533 lift, 108 lsa hyd cam kit, new M77HV oil pump, 1969 "063" heads with SS 1.88/2.19 valves, an RPM air gap intake and a rebuilt Holley 3310 model 750 cfm carb and a Freakshow 3,200 stall conv and it was a lot of fum, the engine only had about 22,400 miles on it, my friends shop guys where we swapped engines thought I was crazy for taking that engine out and one of the owners asked to buy it, I knew the guy for a long time so I sold itto him for $1,000 and he let me use his shop to do the swap and the finished the body work after another old friend dropped the ball, my friend was going to put that engine in a 52 Suburban 4x4 he had but had a heart attack and died on new yrs day about 4 yrs ago
