Welcome, I am a semi-neebie, and very happy to be a part of this forum.
I have to say, as I have said in the past, I am not an expert in THIS field by any shape of the word. And doing my best to learn as much as possible. AND be able to retain it.

 But this cowl tag is not looking right to me. I hope I am wrong. William, Paul, Mark, JohnZ, Marty and all the guys will straighten it out as soon as they chime in. I wish interested parties sent pictures and check in BEFORE they buy. Again, don't panic, you will know very soon.... Danny

I've sent Ed a PM asking him to look at this.
I've got a question about the rivets.
Like Danny, I'm only saying this needs a closer look.

If you need a 67 trans call Danny at 336 621 4327 in NC or the 4speedman at 803 581 5466 in SC. His web is www.4speedman.com. They have got 4 speeds and their work is top notch. I would think they are both in Carlisle PA for the vette show this weekend. They both takes trades also if the freight would not be so much.

 Welcome Andre'

  Does the partial engine VIN match the hidden VIN? Look below the windshield area under the cowl vent panel closely for the stamped hidden VIN.
What is the block casting date? Can you post pictues of the engine pad?

Where in Florida is it? If it is in the upper part I may be able to pay it a visit for you.

You have done an amazing job at decoding this car; assuming most of it is correct. One question; why are you putting so much effort into a First Gen that doesn’t have a numbers matching transmission? If I were looking for something in Switzerland to be shipped to the United States, my first requirement/priority would be; is it a fully documented numbers matching drivetrain?  By looking at your post, one would think this is very important to you as well.

And...what Mike said X2 about the E-Pad.
Title: Re: Introduce myself an my car
Post by: bertfam on August 25, 2012, 02:36:37 AM
Tag's been off the car (reinstalled with standard hardware store rivets), but it looks okay to me. I will of course bow to Kurt or Daniel's expertise.

Can you post a picture of the engine pad?

Just as an FYI, I have the M20 Muncie from 7L137175 and it is stamped P7T06 (Dec 6, 1966).
Title: Re: Introduce myself an my car

There was a Muncie on Ebay (10/2011) out of 7L135413 that the seller claimed was stamped P7A06...

Hi

Thanks for your compliment and your legitimate questions i appreciate that.

- It is not easy to finde a full documented car.
- Money ;-) Top matching cars are expensive
- I decided that minimum 1 Drivetrain Part has to match, in my case is the engine.
- i dont live in the USA, so ist is very difficult to find a car over the sea from switzerland.

Use the link to see the correct rivets, where to buy them, and how to install.
As to the tag itself, as Ed says above, it looks okay. You just need to properly install it.
it is a good looking car. Congratulations!

Andre’ – You are correct about the $$$ but when it's all said and done I'm sure this '67 won't be cheap either. ;)

If you don’t mind me asking; who verified the engine is original to the car? And, I cannot stress this enough; have the seller send you clear pics of the engine pad so you can post them on this thread. The pad should be as clear as, or close to as clear as, the one I’ve posted below, without paint.
 
I hope you don’t think I’m meddling too much. I just don’t want you to get burned.

No problem, you do not meddling me, it's very kind your care.

I am absolutly with you, it is very important to verify what you bought.
In this case i've trusted the seller, he owned the car for 13 years an wrote me in a mail the engine pad codes.
Not very clever i know, so don't denounce me.

So, i have no pic at the moment, but when i stay at destin, i will check de engine pad as my first task and will post a pic i this thread.

till then, keep one's fingers crossed for so, that the seller told the truth.
Title: Re: Introduce myself an my car
Post by: IZRSSS on August 25, 2012, 10:32:18 PM
Andre’ – There are several reasons why a pic of the engine pad is so important. One, there are several sellers who say their car has a numbers matching engine/Drivetrain not knowing they might be misleading a prospective buyer. Two, which is more often the case, a seller knowingly attempts fraud. And three (the most important), the experts on this site can spot a re-stamp a mile away (or the real thing). Either way you will have peace-of-mind knowing CRG has evaluated this portion of the car for you, or any other part for that matter.
 
In the mean time, here is an excellent link/source you can use to study-up on engine stamps.

If you don't get it by the end of the week there might not be a car. Looks like Isaac is gonna make a visit about Wednesday.

It occurred to me after I post we have a member in Destin, I Fire Chief or Captian. I can't think of his user name but seems like a nice guy, I'm sure he would help if needed. And I am serious, if you need anything when youa re in Florida just hallow 850-508-7357.

At the least make sure you go to McGuire's Pub jsut over the bridge in Ft. Walton when you are in Florida.

QUESTION to the experts.

Starting position:
Car build period was:
01 = January, 1967, the month car was built.
D = Fourth week of the month.
That means dates between: Monday 01-23-67 to Sunnday 01-29-67 correct?

What date was exactely stamped on my original 67 transmission for my car?

Post by: IZRSSS on August 27, 2012, 09:11:23 PM
The only way I would be able to give you my opinion one way or another is if that thick layer of paint is removed from the pad. Other-wise someone else who has access to the data base will have to make the call by comparing fonts for your model; possibly Kurt/Ed/Mark.
Title: Re: Introduce myself an my car
Post by: bertfam on August 27, 2012, 09:38:20 PM
Yes, please remove the paint. DON'T use a screwdriver, sandpaper, grinder, wire brush, etc... DO use paint remover and a rag. We need to see the machining marks under the paint.

  That date is when the build period started. Figure a few days afterwards it was completed providing it didn't get pulled to the side for anything out of the norm. I haven't looked at the Julian date calculator to see if your day dates are accurate. As an example of a 'period' my 67 has a 4B date on the trim tag and the UOIT shows a date of April 13th. Almost at the end of that period.
   But, don't get hung up on the tranny date stamp. The date stamped could have been several weeks before the car build date and sat in inventory before being used. The fact that it will not be the original tranny will not make any "P" date any more valuable unless you happen to find the real case with the VIN stamped in it. Most cars today do not have their original trannys so it will not impact the value of the car much at all if you plan on selling it later.
  Don't worry about the tranny and just enjoy the car while you have your health and some $$$$ in your pocket. Life is short!

Andre’- There is no way of knowing exactly what was stamped on your original transmission. What I can say is there were 45,806 M20’s sold in ’67. More than were sold in ’68 & ’69. My point is they were flying off the shelves so the date should be within one month or less from your cars January build date; the closer the better (please KIM, this is where I'd like to see the date for a tranny but it wasn't always the case). I too have an L48 (TH350) which was built the 1st week in Dec. ’68 and its transmission is dated November 14.

Two members offered info on transmissions that would both work for your purpose; Jon & Paul. If any members would know what transmissions would qualify it would certainly be them. Check out some of their past posts and you’ll see what I mean.

Andre', I agree with Marty on both counts.  By any chance is the seller providing you with any original paperwork or the POP?

While the original question was about a 69, read Williams comments in the following thread:

Mike - Many thanks again for your commitment!
I know that it is almost impossible to find the original transmission. Like a win in the lottery.
That is why i am searching only for a "date correct" muncie M20, to replace the installed 69 Muncie with Hurst shifter.
But you are absolutly right with de $$$$ an the health ;-)
So, i am just collecting information about the transmission in this great forum to achieve a correct replacement at some point.

Andre', I agree with Marty on both counts.  By any chance is the seller providing you with any original paperwork or the POP?

While the original question was about a 69, read Williams comments in the following thread:

Unfortunately, no paperwork, POP or Buildsheet.

Welcome Andre'

  Does the partial engine VIN match the hidden VIN? Look below the windshield area under the cowl vent panel closely for the stamped hidden VIN.
What is the block casting date? Can you post pictues of the engine pad?

Mike

Now i can say, affirmed VIN and "hidden" VIN match :) (checked below the windshield area under the cowl vent panel) no photo possible.

ChronoX, you actually can get a picture of the passenger cowl hidden vin. My trick is I use soap stone. They use it to mark steel when cutting and fabricating. It is very thin and will fit between the louvers. You have to be easy with it cause it is brittle. But make sure you clean the area first with pressured water or carb clean er something. Then let dry and stick the stone down there and fill up the numbers with it by dragging it back and forth accross the area. Then lightly blow the excess away between the letters. With your mouth, NOT compressed air. And presto, you are ready for high lighted pictures.... Danny

From the picture the right rivet looks correct, but the left one is incorrect.
