General Discussion / What Shocks Should I Use For A Smooth Ride ?
« on: March 17, 2021, 03:49:10 AM »
My '68 Rally Sport with a 327-300 that I bought a year ago, has a very old pair of leaking air shocks in the rear with single leaf springs and the front shocks are fairly new, but they ride way too stiff. What do you all recommend for a "softer" ride ? ( as much as a Camaro can be "soft" ) Are the original spiral type fairly smooth ? I owned a 70 Chevy pick up and after I found some NOS original shocks for it - it changed it to a comfortable ride - not stiff anymore. I don't care if it "corners like a double bed" - it's just a car to take to shows and I'd like to get there without jarring my teeth loose, LOL

We're having some questions about installing a gauge package in my 1968 RS coupe -non-original 327-300 - powerglide. ( it left the factory with a 230 CID six cylinder ) It has an Accel Electronic distributor. I bought both harnesses need to add the gauges from American Autowire.

1) How do we hook up the tach and do we need an "inline filter" for it ?
2) The gauges are wired in now, but we're not sure how to hook them into the other harness ?
3) I've read it's better (safer ) to have a VOLT meter then a AMP meter gauge. The set of gauges came with a AMP meter from Classic Industries.

Restoration / 68 Console With Clock Replaced With The Four Factory Gauges ?
« on: November 12, 2020, 02:40:18 AM »
I have an original 1968 console with the original clock - I'd like to install a set of the factory four gauges in place of the clock. ( my car was originally a six cylinder, so it couldn't have had the gauge package ) Will I need to buy a new console made for the gauges ? OR, will the clock with it's base, come out and then the gauges with their base fit in its place ? ( we haven't taken it apart yet - I'm just trying to find out if I need to find a console "made for the gauges" )

Decoding/Numbers / 1968 Powerglide Pan Number
« on: September 26, 2020, 10:02:48 PM »
We found this on the side of my 1968 powerglide pan: C8M10D and I'm assuming it's a date code, but haven't had any luck in finding if it is - it seems to have too many digits. Can anyone tell me what it says ? It is NOT the original engine, so it might not be a 1968 powerglide - THANKS !!!

Decoding/Numbers / Number of WHITE Vinyl Tops in 1968 ?
« on: February 08, 2020, 12:19:24 PM »
I've looked at quite a few websites with production numbers listed, but I haven't found the figures that separate the different colors of the C08 vinyl covering which seems to have had 77,065 TOTAL produced. I think there would have been more black than white. With all the other numbers that are available, I'd think somebody has these numbers. Any help would be appreciated !!!
