I have a 67 rs/ss 350. my wiper motor is part 5045508 type E. black with a yellow stamp of "199 66". I assume the "199" is mid July Julien date of 1966. my car was born 1st week of April 1967. my question is: could this be the original motor made 10 months before the car? if so then it is worth rebuilding/restoring.

I did not have any date stamp my 67 motor and not sure that they did. Maybe someone could confirm this one way or another.
With so many cars 912 (?) being produced per day, I would think the a build date on the motor of one month prior to car build date would even be a stretch.
I would rebuild your motor without date stamp and stamp it when you have proof that they were stamped with correct date.
MikeS, do you have date stamps on your motors?

I can take a look at the original `67 LOS. Where is the stamp located on the motor?
Mike

I would assume that it would be on the sides of the motor housing but I have never seen them on a 67. ???

My 5045508 Wiper motor on my 11A LOS appears to be the original, and appears to be in original condition (not repaint) it has some light surface rust in the Rochester NY stamp. It has no Date code stamp of any kind.
-
I checked the 04B LOS and I can not find any signs of a painted number.

My 67 (3rd week of March) LOS car does have the same part numbers as you have but also has some remnants of yellow markings on the top side of the motor. The very first number appears to be a "3" then some spaces (probably washed off) then the very last number which looks like a "6" or possibly a "C" but that wouldn't make any sense to be a C. That is all I have.

here is a pic of the motor and my car

Nice ride, Los or Nor?

There's a guy with a very nice 11B LOS survivor who's posted up pictures on the Team Camaro site, photo 30 of 52 shows the yellow stamp on his motor.

hrascoll - He also has factory air, maybe you can ask him to send you pics of the hoses to the condenser routing you were asking about.

How about some input from 67 Nor. owner's ?

11E Nor car but nothing was noticed or seen when I repainted the motor.
-
Wow! Did not know that Nor 67's are so rare.
3 No's for Nor.

Not a NOR 67 but our 01B 68 NOR had this date stamping. Of the 68 cars I've reviewed the date code was present but have noted different fonts (different stamps) as I'm sure they were doing a lot of wiper motors per day and utilized several stampers.

Ckick,
So far most of the 67 Los cars have the stamp, but are different than your 68 as day is separated from year. Need larger sample of 67 Nor motors but so far no stamp.
Just from a production quality control standpoint I find it hard to believe that Nor motors did not have the stamp.
Until more people step forward with non restored, original Nor 67 motors, with or w/o stamps, the answer will have to be maybe.
