My '67 trunk light is wired correctly according to the AIM. It plugs into the license plate light harness. My trunk light does'nt turn on unless the parking lights are on.

Restoration / Re: FIRESTONE REDLINE RERPODUCTION TIRE STICKER

« on: July 31, 2009, 05:55:59 PM »

JohnZ,
I was going to put the sticker on the spare tire in the trunk. Did the spare tires not have the identification sticker applied? There are a few nicely restored cars in the area that have stickers on the spare tires. Some the original sticker. I have also seen a very nice 69 in the area that has a code marked on the spare in grease pencil. I think it was (-24). What, if anything did that mean?
Thanks,
Sean

Restoration / FIRESTONE REDLINE RERPODUCTION TIRE STICKER

« on: July 30, 2009, 07:10:13 PM »

Does anyone make a reproduction tire sticker for the Firestone Super Sport  Redlines? I am refering to the mostly yellow identification sticker that is placed on the tread at the factory. I know the one that Coker puts on their tires is similar to the original, but it has the bar code on it making it look out of place on an old car. I was considering having some made up, but I don't need 100 of the things. Any help would be appeciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Rick's has quite a few type-os in their newest cataloge. The newly released SS hood drain tubes that are going for $25.00 everywhere else, is listed at $134.99 a pair. That is obviously a type-o.

Originality / Re: 69 Camaro master Cylinder(pics added)

« on: July 21, 2009, 04:47:54 PM »

I'm not sure if there are any Advanced Autos in your area. I got a correct master cylinder for my 67 there. It was a rebuild, and only cost $15.00 plus a $5.00 core charge. It was a Delco Morain with the correct part number and Delco Morain logo embossed on the outside. It had the pads for the bleeders, but was not drilled for them. The cap was'nt the greatest, so I got a reproduction. The good thing about Advanced is that you can see a picture of what the part is supposed to look like before you get it. Auto Zone might be another alternative. It sure beat the high prices I found on Ebay, plus you get a warrenty locally.

I"ve already read that thread. That's great for the cap, and as I said "the jury is still out on the cap finish". I am really wondering if the pump itself(not the housing) ,is  black or natural (bare metal) color?

39 views and nobody? I know the jury is out on the cap finish. But I'm almost sure the housing is gloss black. The one thing I'm uncertain of is the color of the pump itself (the cast iron portion). Where is JohnZ?

These are on ebay quite often although nothing available at this time. If you want an original, keep checking. They usually go for over $20.00.

Restoration / 67 CAMARO POWER STEERING PUMP

« on: July 08, 2009, 03:25:04 AM »

I am repainting the power steering pump off of my 1967 Camaro SS. Can someone tell me is the cap painted, or bare metal? Is the pump housing gloss, or low gloss black? Is the pump itself (the cast iron portion) painted or bare metal?
Thanks,

Originality / Guillotine Exhaust Clamps

« on: July 02, 2009, 06:24:53 PM »

I was wondering were do the guillotine style exhaust clamps go on a 1967 Camaro SS exhaust system? I see in the AIM that there is a clamp at each side of the muffle at the bottom openings. Should there also be a guillotine clamp at each side of the muffler at the top openings? Is there any other connections that require the guillotine clamps?
Thanks,
Sean

It should just thread on. Mine had threads cut in it. If yours does'nt have any threads, you can simply run a correct size tap into the hole, and thread it yourself.

Oh yah. Rick's used to sell used lenses for around $50.00. That's been several years ago, and the price is why I did what I did. I'm not sure if they have any or not, but you might check with them if you have'nt already done that.

Guys,
What I did was to use the "oil/brake" lense. I removed the "oil" lettering with Goof Off or something of that nature. Then I went to the hobby shop and bought some black rub on lettering that was about the same size as the "BRAKE" fount. I then applied the word "FUEL" to the lense. It is not for the purest, I know, but it will serve the purpose and most people would'nt know it's not factory. The other option would be to buy or make some peel and stick lettering. Place the word "FUEL" on the lense. Mask and paint black. Remove lettering and you have red letters with a black background. Just a suggestion.
