Originality / 1969 Base car

« on: December 21, 2009, 05:36:37 PM »

Back in 69 I purchased a Z/28 in August of that year.  About the same time a friend of mine purchased a base coupe.  I was trying to remember what options it came with.  My memory from 40+ years tells me that it was a 307 with a column shift.  It was daytona yellow with a vinyl roof and  black standard interior.   
Other than the basic 6 cylinder, what did you get in a base car back then. 
My Z was a very low option car with no tach, no console, and radio delete.  Both of us had just graduated from college and had very little money and new jobs.   They were probably the lowest priced Camaros on the lot.

Decoding/Numbers / 1968 axle Stamps. a couple of questions

« on: August 04, 2008, 05:40:37 PM »

I am trying to ascertain what axle ratio I have in my car.  It is a 1968 Coupe that came with the L30 code and Powerglide.  I checked the axle stamp and it is as follows  B b  0102G2.   It is a ten bollt. 
What I am asking is when you refer to BB code in your table you show it as BB  mine is B b with a non capital letter.  I know this possibly a siilly questions but is it the 256 rear.  Also in the chart it shows as being a posi rear end  and you show that there would be another letter on a second line.  Mine has non.
I know It could have any gear set but my feeling was that it was either a 307, 273, or 256.
I don't want to open it up because it is working just fine.  I am only trying to find out because I am looking to upgrade the cam.  It currently has a Turbo 400 and not the powerglide.
Thanks for any help.
I took another look and it is a G2 on the end not CS as I first had

Originality / Transmission type in Z/28 package-1969

« on: August 05, 2007, 01:37:08 PM »

I had a friend ask the question, "what transmissions came in the 69 Z package.   Was it possible to get an M20".  I told him I could not say but I am sure we can find out at the CRG website.  If is was available do we know how many were equipped with it?

Restoration / Source for 1968 underhood finishes

« on: June 03, 2007, 01:17:19 PM »

Hi guys, I haven't been around for a couple of years since I sold my 69 Z.  I currently own a 68 Coupe that is going to be a cruise night car.  The previous owner has squirted copious amount of gloss black under the hood..
I am in the process of detailing under the hood, but I have no references for the 68 Camaro.  I am looking for an online source that will give me the finishes on, inner fenders, rad support, hood hinges, hood latches, heater box, firewall and sub frame.  I don't plan on pulling the engine or taking it completely apart.   
The end result will be a mild modified engine compartment with some stock looking details. 
Any help would be appreciated.   The booster and MC are new so I don't need those.
Thanks for any help
Oh yea don't let the newbie status fool you I have been around this forum for years, just not lately!

Originality / Early 67 Z/28s

« on: February 09, 2006, 02:35:09 AM »

I remember seeing a very early 1967 Z/28 Camaro, without stripes and it had a 302 emblem on the fender.  That was in early 1967.  I have been told by many that they only came with stripes and badges.  Can anyone clarify my sighting.  It was a light metalic blue with rear spoiler and flat hood. 
Oh yes I forgot.  I am an old member who hasn't been around for a while, but I am back in the hobby with a 1968 Camaro.
