No stock cam bolt plate, tis aftermarket. yes blue loctight, 20 ft lb
When it comes to the timing cover,
Use the fel pro gaskets with RTV then 6ft lbs on timing cover bolts?
That black bottom piece should fit right on the cover?

Gasgasinch on paper aviation in channel, rtv at seal to pan gasket. Then just a toch more rtv on the 4 corners when pan goes on. You want to do cover and pan at same time

Thanks, boss...
For ram horn manifolds what are the bolt sizes and lengths needed? I browsed around but, ya know a million answers

Headers.
Yeah... I’m thinking about it but I kinda like the Ram Horn look...
I just don’t know what headers will fit on a 69 frame and clear everything. If full long tube or mid length will be needed.
3/8 16 @ 2 1/2" long the 2 center 1's are longer but I for get the length. The bolts stock have a thick flat washer, not a lock washer. If you can't find original washers to regular flat washers will do. No gaskets on stock manifolds, scrape paint of head at sealing surface and wire brush manifold. Tighten bolt from center out, run engine re-tighten warm. No loctight. wouldn't hold on exhaust manifold.

Long tubes for the win.
Nice. I read people using 3” bolts but that seems long and they had trouble with them bottoming out..
No gaskets? Hmm ok.

No gaskets with fact-tree stuff.
I dig the look of those ram horns.. but long tube headers are always totally, boss...
yup that looks correct been a minute since I have done ram horns
With after market timing chain cover this piece doesn’t fit.
Is it necessary to have it on?

You will need a timing tab. Or a pointer and a timing tape. And with either one, you will want to verify tdc matches.
