Restoration / Console gauge base mounting - 69 Camaro
« on: June 01, 2010, 07:17:31 PM »
I am restoring my console gauges and am wondering where to get the hardware to attach the green plastic gauge base to the console? The old gauge base was broken and only had one of the required four fasteners. The fastener is threaded differently on each end - One end is a male taper thread and the other a straight machine thread, with a hex between the two. What else is needed, besides these wierd fasteners?

Originality / What is the correct fuel sending unit for 69 camaro w/327
« on: August 10, 2007, 07:49:25 PM »
Carb is Edelbrock 4bbl. I think it is a 500CFM.
When I look in the Classic Industries catalog I don't see a replacement listed.

<edit> It is a single line fuel inlet. Though it is not an original carb, it is the original sending unit and it works fine except for the fact that it does not send a signal to the fuel gauge, which is a pain I want to correct. Can I simply measure the tube inlet at the carb and go by that?

Originality / California license letter sequence
« on: August 08, 2007, 07:27:48 PM »
I am wondering what the correct license plate letter sequence would be for my 69 Camaro? It was built in Van Nuys in October of 68 and purchased in Torrance, but I do not know the month or year of original registration. Can someone help me find this information?

The car currently has blue and yellow plates and I want to look for the correct sequence black and yellows.

Thanks, Jim

Maintenance / Alternator (GEN) light on when key is off.
« on: May 14, 2006, 12:17:38 AM »
I just had to replace the battery in my 69 Camaro.  When I reconnected the cables I noticed that the alternator light was on even before putting the key into the ignition.  When I start the engine the light goes off, but when I turn the car off the light comes back on and stays on.  I have to remove the cables to protect the battery from draining.  I am not very good with electrical problems.  When I remove the connector with two wires from the alternator and connect the battery the light does not come on.  I also notice a click from the voltage regulator every time I connect and disconnect the battery cables.  Could the alternator be bad?  What about the voltage regulator?

Some additional background: I have had a battery discharge problem since I purchased the car 5 years ago.  I think I have isolated that problem to the door switch.  Since I had the typical starter solenoid/heat problem, I switched to a mini-mag starter about a year ago.  This solved the heat problem, but not the battery discharge problem, so I recently returned to the stock starter and added a heat blanket.  When I installed a new battery last week, the alternator light issue popped up.  I have a Pertronix ignition system and a Code Alarm system that is tied into the previously mentioned faulty door switch. The alarm also operates the door locks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Jim
