Ok, thanks for confirming that source for me 68Z. That is a book that is on my to get list. I noticed that the CRG page also has only one casting number for a 67 Saginaw ending in 032 but other members also have 67 cars  with different casting numbers on their Saginaws'

 Thanks again Jeff.

Decoding/Numbers / Re: Follow up to L30/M20

« on: May 18, 2008, 04:46:44 AM »

Hi Jeff, I just read your post. I also have a 67 O2B LOS built L30/M20 car. Could you tell me when your body build date is on your body tag? I don't know if the forum members just overlooked your last question or are having a difficult time answering it, but I see it is unanswered.
 I can barely see one casting date I think on your tail housing of L 1 6.
 I have casting dates on all three of the main components on my Saginaw of L 14 6    L 19 6   L 21 6  and then an assembly date of R7T27.
 I believe yours was assembled in November and mine in December. I would like to know how far ahead of time yours was assembled in relationship to your body build date?
 Also, I wish senior forum members would comment on your partial VIN. on your Saginaw as far as stamp authenticity. I'm sure their data base is full of stamps on aluminum cases in 67, but maybe your the first one to present them with a stamp on an iron case? Maybe that's why they did not answer your question?
 My Saginaw does not have a partial VIN stamp.
 Also, my transmission pictures can be seen in  general discussion under (possible find 67 L30/M20) near the end of thread. Thanks.

Jeff E.

No, they are all 1966. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the CRG info clearly shows how to decode casting dates. All three components, case, side cover and tail housing were cast in Dec. of 1966.
 That's  L 19 6 and L 14 6 and L 21 6  All December of 66. And then the whole saginaw transmission was assembled on the 27th day of December 1966 for a 1967 model year car.
 That is how the CRG website describes how to interpret theese numbers. Is the website wrong?

 Jeff.

Well, I think I've got my original transmission for my 67 L30 car finally
 The numbers on it don't seem to match what Stillwater Camaro was suggesting though. I sure hope it's the one. All the casting date codes are Dec. 66 and I believe the assembly is also the last day of Dec. So this should have been applied to a 67 car.
 I am making three different posts incuding this one with two pictures each so you guys can check it out.

1969 - Orphans / On Seattle Craigslist now 69 Z28 302 DZ block

« on: May 08, 2008, 05:37:47 AM »

I just noticed this posting today on Seattle Craigslist under auto parts. It states for sale is a 1969 Z28 engine block. There is no partial vin on the add, but there is this info:

           block casting no.    3970010
           casting date          J99
           pad stamp            V1022DZ
           seller phone no.     1-206-762-7691
           seller E-mail           benzfriendz@hotmail.com

I think the add stated the block was machined and race ready, so you probably know where this is going, but, you never know?

Thanks Rick, I found at CRG that the 3K is the code for RPO Z21.

Jeff.

Thanks Rick, I guess I'm just confused as usual, since I don't see the Z21 on the tag, does that mean it's somehow coded in the 760-Z and the 3K.
 Also I thought the roof rail and pillar trim was exterior items, I see now from your post that it is interior.
 Could you me all that the Z21 option would have included?

 Thanks, Jeff.

I was doing some research on CRG and it says that the RPO Z23 option was available independantly of the RPO Z87 in 1967, but not 68 and 69. Does the bright pedal trim on my gas pedal and the bright roof rail moldings mean that my car had the Z23 option? and if it did, would that also had to of included the bright pillar molding?

Thanks, Jeff.

I think I get it now, just looked at your post again. Is it only the one under the 67 column ending in 032.

Jeff.

Ok,
I think the reason it's so high also, is he's getting ticked that I'm bugging him so much.

I am very hapy to report tonight that it looks like I have found the original Saginaw 4 speed for my car. Two owners back before me still had it stashed away in his storage container. He swears it is the original one from when he had the car. A hefty 500.00 would probably confirm that alone. He know knows what I'm doing, trying to put it back to original. I gave him half down to hold it until the end of the week when I can pay him the rest. It looks like a 4 speed Saginaw and the numbers just under the side cover are R7T27. I'll post the pictures at the end of the week when I get it.

 Thanks Stillwatwer, I'll study up on that link you provided.

Thats' gotta be satisfaction, putting an older camaro back together in three days and then driving it. Great job. I think my three boys are wondering if I can "EVER" put a car back together.
 
Here's another quirky question for you guys, does anybody know if the engine to body ground straps were the same size/lenth on 67 small blocks  and big blocks?
