Tim, Never hear of a code starting with E. Could it be a B? A BT code is a 12 bolt with 3.55 gears. Have you determined the rear ration by rotating the tires?

Decoding/Numbers / Re: Im looking at buying my First Camaro A dream for over 50 years
« on: March 25, 2025, 03:55:56 PM »
Welcome David. So based on the trim tag, the Camaro is a 1969 Pace Car replica, also known as a Z11. Read about it here: http://www.camaros.org/69pacer.shtml
Basically a white SS/RS 350 or 396 convertible with orange stripes and orange houndstooth interior. Most Pace cars were built in Norwood, but this one was built in Van Nuys plant. Pace cars bring pretty strong $$$, but like any other Camaro: condition, options, original drivetrain & rust repair will determine value. So tell us more please.

I pulled both seats out of an MD drum master, no valves. Next I will try a 310 BS master.

• ensure that you have the correct residual pressure valves in the master cylinder outlet ports.

Richard, so what does a factory residual pressure valve look like? I pulled the brass seat out of an old drum master cyl (rear port) and there was nothing there! Now I am confused.

Thx! Yes, I inspect/clean/adjust them every spring. And plan my stops. Twice I had panic stops and the brakes lockup and fade quickly! but I stay as alert as possible!
Another 2GV mystery: I have two 2GV carbs. Exactly the same except the vent cover is slightly different. One has a full cover, the other a cover with a cutout. I looked at the CRG report http://www.camaros.org/carb.shtml and the pics of 68 and 69 had the cutout, but the 67 was not in frame. ps, I have only one carb tag 7029110 CH from 68, but not sure which carb it came off of.

Funny! I have thought about it, but with my Drum only rims, I would have to swap those out too. Unless I got the Right stuff 14" drum to disc kit. Money, Money, Money

Thanks Richard! Skinny spring is what I will use!
On the brakes, I pull off the drums every spring to give them a clean and adjust. I will look into what you posted. thx

OK, for the carb springs, I have two candidates (after I found my bracket).
I skinny one and larger one. Which is more correct? Thx

Kurt, btw, my car came with 4 drum non-power of course. I added the power MC/booster for safety. Still does not stop as well as discs. Oh well.

Ok, here is my 1st attempt at the paper booster tag. font is pretty close IMO. I kinda guessed at the size (7/8"x 1 1/4") seem right to me.
I hope to dial in my 2GV spring options and post another pic as soon as I locate a spare coil bracket :sigh:
Here is a pic of the check valve tag I made. How close did I get it?

General Discussion / Re: 1967 fold down rear seat instead
« on: March 15, 2025, 12:42:25 PM »
Please do a search here. There have been posts with diagrams. Like this one: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=19717.msg179353#msg179353
But basically the upper part of the seat attaches to a pair of hinge supports that are welded to the floor. Hope you got those. There should also be a track welded to the seat support to hold a "cardboard" panel that hides the support when the back is down. 67 latch only needs to be attahed with screws.

Hey all, just some random questions for an early build 69. I am pretty sure the little paper tag on booster check valve is CB for power disc, but what tag would have been used for 4 drum power brakes?
Also, what specs/color was the throttle return spring for a 2-bbl? Anyone with a pic? Thanks!

Mild Modifications / Re: 68 and 69 RS Grille interchangeable?
« on: February 12, 2025, 02:29:43 PM »
Interesting question! First the RS grill (and tailpan) on a 69 is slightly wider than a 68 (a couple inches). Also the fenders where the grill meets is a little more rounded than a 68.
But the fenders are metal and the grill is plastic. Both can be cut and welded/glued, so if you have skills (&money) anything is possible
My question would be: even though the 69 RS grill is flatter than a standard, would there be enough room for an aftermarket electric headlight door mech to mount to a 68 rad support and still have room and geometry to operate?
