Mild Modifications / A/C system installation

« on: May 26, 2019, 02:45:08 PM »

Hi,
I started checking the parts I will need to buy to restore my 1967 camaro SS/RS.
Something I have been wondering and still haven’t decided is what to do with the a/c or better said with the “no a/c”.
Basically I am happy with the camaro as it came from factory and want to restore it as close as possible to its original set up.
But the almost only thing I would consider is to install a a/c system as otherwise I will tend to use less the car, specially in warm summer days.
Would it be too complicated to find a camaro a/c system to install it in my car without major complications and easy to take it back to its original set up if I (or my son...) change my mind later on?
Guess most complicated thing to reverse would be the lateral holes to make in the dashboard?
All your ideas, tips and critics will be welcome

General Discussion / Before starting restoring process - Camaro 1967 SS/RS

« on: May 12, 2019, 07:27:12 PM »

Hi everyone
I an evaluating what restoring path to take and searching the main webpages to source spare parts (it will be my first camaro). Could you please let me know the most reliable spare parts webpages in order to get good quality parts (or even original if available).
Also, my 1967 camaro ss/rs didn’t have a factory a/c system (nor even heating) as was sold in Peru.
In order to make it easier to drive I am considering to install an a/c system. Is there a system that make me feel sure about keeping the original look (of a camaro with stock a/c of course).
Last but no least, although planning to keep the original engine and muncie 4 speed gearbox, in case Engibe is not in good condition, would you recommend to overhaul it? Or instsll a more modern engine+gear box (and which ones) regardless of the cost?
Tks a lot for your help

Decoding/Numbers / 1967 camaro SS/RS

« on: May 08, 2019, 12:15:19 AM »

Hi everyone
I am new in the forum and just bought a 1967 camaro in Peru which as per the codes is a camaro ss/rs.
It is lacking most of emblems and clearly it has been dissembled and assembled back.
The engine number in the papers is V0516M57N224653 which Rich Fields helped me understand it’s a a 350 ci manual transmission for Super Sport, built in Flint MI on May 16
I still have the doubt if the engine is the original or if it was changed. How can I know that?
The casting number is 3892657 which understand could be either a 327 or 350, so still not sure if the engine is 327 or 350.
Attaching some pictures. Any help will be very much appreciated
Best regards
