A non issue but curious what are the two dates?

That owner can believe what he wants. Hell, I put a 302/290 sticker on the air cleaner of my 6 cylinder. The reactions were priceless.

That is a good one, please post a picture......

Originality / Re: 68z valve covers (The O)

« on: August 28, 2024, 08:43:59 PM »

On our 68Z I had NOS valve covers in the GM boxes that were purchased in 1979 as they came with our car when purchased in 1983 and have chevy dealership receipt. They are on the car but I could not find any "O" stamp on them. I have a picture in my Camaro files of an "O" stamp and it is just barely visible.

Years ago I purchased from Stahl Headers when Jere was going out of business a NOS brake booster/master cyl. assembly built May, 1968. On the GM build of materials it states master cyl. painted black. I know many state semi-gloss black and surely not disputing since age can have an effect but seems more like a satin black on everything I've ever had the opportunity to review like this one below or one that William posted. I had put this info on my build thread as I ended up using the vacuum valve and master cylinder cover for our restoration.

I guess that's why Instrument Services charge 350.00 to do a sender. Bob's Speedo is 400.00 to 700.00....Joe

Mama Mia Joe, I had no idea as I was lucky enough to buy the GM part # and shortly thereafter they were not available. And I thought the GM part # was expensive at the time LOL.....

Two things can cause that, Chick.
1- The web site is using http:// instead of https://
       CRG is using http:// so a web browser will flag it as 'Connection is not secure'.
2- The web site has an expired SSL certificate. CRG is not using an SSL certificate being it is not running https://

Mike

Thanks Mike and yes what we had to do for our local car show website was purchase a SSL certificate which I was told can very in cost depending on size of website.
And agree with everyone that noted the CRG has been very slow to load especially when first entering.

General Discussion / Website not secure

We have a website for a car show we do each year and noticed on our website we had a "not secure" notice with a triangle in front of the statement. We had the same issue and had to pay a yearly fee to protect our website. Why does our beloved CRG website have "not secure"?

I met Clete thru a mutual NCRS judge friend when I was acquiring assistance for seatbelt restoration on our 68Z. Well known and respected thru the NCRS crowd and he did an amazing job on our belts. Amazing work and a wealth of information. Just talked to hiim recently at Camaro Nationals. Thanks for all your help and information shared thru the years Clete.

To Jmth52, if you are answering what a L79 is, it is not a L78 with aluminum heads, lol, think that is an L89! Not sure if there was L89’s in 67’ but for sure 68’/69’s. A L79 is high horsepower 327 cubic inch small block. Mostly Nova’s.

Had L89 in Corvette, and I have a pair of April '67 dated alum heads.  Running C/SS back then they had a solid lifter 396 motor planted in the car.

Can someone weigh in on the rivets? /s

It would seem someone placed a 68 trim tag on a 67 Camaro and used some ugly screws to fasten. Yikes.....
