Decoding/Numbers / 1967 Manual disc brake master cylinder questions

« on: October 19, 2019, 03:19:22 PM »

I have a 1967 Camaro that has manual front disc brakes but has the wrong master cylinder.  I have been looking for the correct 5459467 master cylinder for years and one popped up on ebay a few days ago.  I bought it and wanted to run it by the forum to see if it is correct and get some help decoding the other numbers on it. 

I tried attaching the photos but no matter how I resized them I could not get all of them to attach to the post so here is a Google Photos link:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Decoding/Numbers / Question about 67 Engine and no Partial VIN

« on: April 17, 2018, 07:09:21 PM »

I have a 67 RS and have a question about the 327 having no Partial VIN code on the pad.  It is stamped V0323ME with a casting date of C167 (or c187).  The car was built in the 4th week of March 1967.  I have found a few mentions of the lower HP 327's having no partial VIN but wanted to verify this is the case.  I am 99% sure this is the original engine and was told it is, but wanted to get some clarity about not having a partial VIN.  When I bought the car it did not come with the correct engine but with about a years work I tracked down one of the owners who still had the engine.  The original broach marks are still present. 

This car is full of rare options with bucket seats with headrests, power windows, fold down rear seat, Air conditioning, front console with gauge package and factory tach. Rear speaker, deluxe shoulder harness seat belts, remote control mirror, and rear defogger.  It has power steering, and front manual disc brakes with the original 4 piston calipers.  Car needs a total restoration but is pretty complete.
