Title: 68 PP code axle
Post by: Smith on December 09, 2013, 06:12:57 AM

I was reading the Production numbers for 1968.

PP code for 3.07 in 1968 only 560 were produced?

Is this a Typo or was that really the number?

My 68 has a PP 1122G2

Someone will correct me if I am wrong.  PP code in 1968 is 3.07 open with metallic brakes.  

If you are talking about the RPO spreadsheet, I believe that does not include the cars that would have had the 3.07 rear as standard.  From the Power Teams chart, 3.07 was standard with the 350/295 hp engine and a Powerglide, also with the 396/325 hp engine and either the 3 spd or 4 spd manual transmission.

What engine and transmission does your car have?

In 67 the PP code was a 3.07 12 bolt open with metallic brakes. In 68 it was a 12 bolt open (No metallic brakes in 68). Look at the column for 68 at the top of the REAR AXLE CODE (http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#AxleCodes) page. "MET" (metallic) is part of the 1967 section.

By the way, I split this topic from the other one.
