General Discussion / 1968 396 brake question
« on: February 29, 2008, 04:10:03 AM »
Can someome please tell me if front disc brakes were mandatory or an option on a 1968 396/375 hp SS Camaro? Also, since the trim tag does not validate this car, what other built-in vehicle features would verify that the car is an original big block car?
Thank you!

Can someone please tell me if coil springs YF 3955722 would have possibly been used on an original 1969 Z28? I have read other discussions about coil springs on this and other sites but was unable to find a definitve answer. Would theee springs ONLY have been used on a Z28 or could they have been used on other 1969 Camaros as well?
Thank you-

Originality / Engine coding question for Van Nuys '69 Z28
« on: June 04, 2007, 12:01:43 AM »
Would appreciate any help with answering some specific questions about a 1969 Z28 made at the Van Nuys plant.

Some facts - My VIN is 124379L510920. The trim tag on my car shows 11D for the production date. My engine code on the front pad is V1125DZ. There is no partial VIN on the engine pad, nor is there one by the oil filter. All other codes (block casting, transmission differential) match the vehicle. The casting code is 3932386. The date code is K228 (Nov. 22 1968).

Question 1: the Nov. 25 date on the engine pad is very close to the 11D date on the trim tag. Is this tight of a time frame possible, given that the engine was made 11/25/68 in Flint then installed at the Van Nuys plant?

Question 2: What typically explains the lack of a partial VIN on the engine pad or by the oil filter on an early production 1969 Z28? Is this possible? Without the partial VIN stamped anywhere on the engine is there any way left to validate that my engine is the specific one the car was originally produced with?

Thanks very much-

Justin
