I just realized that the link you posted has them for sale !!!   I'll check it out....    amazing they are still selling the same bar...I sold my 69 Camaro prior to 1990, so it was definitely a few years earlier in the late 80's when I removed it.

Thanx !!

Jon.....  that is exactly the sway bar and u-bolts... they were flattened along the horizontal part !!!!!!  I actually searched for them last night in some of my old bolt drawers, because I think I still have them somewhere. I used regular bolts when I re-installed the bar on my 69 camaro as I used a hole saw because I did not want to cut such a big hole in the floor under the seat !!    When I removed the bar from the firebird,  I remember grabbing the one threaded end of the u-bolt and wiggling it and realizing it was all one piece. I never even thought it could possibly be removedand/or installed thru the existing holes !!



 Thank God I am not crazy after all. maybe just a bit misguided !!!  haha... but I came to the right place !!!!    Thanks Jon... you are the man as far as the T/A info !!! 


        I'd love to get a hold of one of those setups again if you know anyone that has one for sale !!!   Thanks again !!

Thanks Jon. The reason I ask is that I removed a rear bar from a firebird years ago in a junkyard. If I  remember it was a blue 68 HO350 car. I remember it had the stripe down the side.  The thing is, the upper mounting brackets were attached with a small u-type bolt that extended the two threaded ends out thru the frame rails. I removed the bar, etc. and then removed the back seat to get the two u-bolts out. They were under the floor boards and apparently installed thru the frame rails prior to the floor boards being welded to the rails. I had a chisel so I made some ugly holes in the floors and pulled out the u-bolts.   I ended up installing the bar on my 60 Camaro which I sold a few years later. I used a hole saw and used bolts to re-install the bar.  I always wonder about that darn sway bar..and that car also.  I may be crazy, but I'm convinced that was a factory installed sway bar.   Or I wish I knew where my old 69 Camaro was so I could go check out that bar...probably still on there

Thanks again for theis great T/A racing  info.

Hey Jon, the Vince Campbell cap looks like it is hard mounted to the trunk lid... How did that work??      ....  or does it just look that way??

If the intake was not a repo, it was a good deal actually...if not just for the x-ram and internals.

Decoding/Numbers / Re: LS on cowl tag instead of LOS
« on: September 08, 2014, 10:51:43 AM »
I had a 69 Camaro with NBR instead of NOR...  if my memory serves me..it's been many years...   I also had one that had 0B (or 0C..I cant remember the week) for the cowl tag date... I think maybe the 1 got cut off by one of the rivet holes !! I doubt they are 1 of 1 situations and I'm sure these are probably already known factory mistakes.

Restoration / Re: Leaf spring removal
« on: September 18, 2013, 02:05:44 PM »
That is common. You need to cut the heads off the bolts...then you can fish out the remaining carriage nuts inside the frame once the leaf assembly is removed. I would use a cut-off wheel and try not damage the bucket. other option is a torch.
