Aug of 68 or Aug 69?

Also differential ratio and code if you know what it was originally.?.

08C '69 X33 D80 Sorry, I don't know original rear.

That's ok and thanks for the info.

Still looking for more examples. Thanks!

Guy's 375hp, M22 3.73, Norwood car uses a "CF". April built....Joe

Thanks!

Date matters, auto vs man trans matters, speedo adapter probably matters. But the usage sometimes changes for unknown (to me) reasons.

Here's what I have for 69 (with a caveat for limited data):
CF (May & later) - V8 auto, Z28, BB auto & man
CT (pre May) - V8 auto, Z28, BB man
CV (pre May) - L6 & low-po auto
CW - L48/M20, BB auto & man
CX - L65 & L14 man
CY - L65 man

CH is a full-size code. And I've not seen a CX code on a Z, so I think that cable was changed.

Where is the cable stamped? Can I see it easily? Pretty sure mine is original.

KevinW · « **Reply #18 on:** December 02, 2022, 03:28:37 PM »

Great info!

CW - L48/M20, BB auto & man (is what I need for my car)

But it would be good to know the original lengths. I am confused with the lengths the repros are available in.

Thanks!

Jdv69z, see post 5…might help.

cook_dw · « **Reply #20 on:** December 03, 2022, 06:40:35 PM »

There’s no one spot the cables are stamped. You will just have to look the cable over completely but I’d start at the trans and work towards the firewall.

x66 714 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 03, 2022, 08:07:53 PM »

Mine was about half way but the next car might not be....Joe

R68GTO · « **Reply #22 on:** December 04, 2022, 02:44:00 AM »

Mine is stamped right near the trans fitting
