Restoration / Correct Drive Shaft for a COPO

« on: November 22, 2008, 02:34:37 AM »

Which drive shaft is correct for a 1969 - 9561 COPO?  M22 - 4.10 gear ratio.  I've read about the 20 deg offset and the in-line shafts only to be confused about which is correct for my car.  The car was in pieces when I bought it and the drive shaft was missing.  So far, I've managed to find the other missing pieces with the correct p/n's and date codes.  I'm confused about the drive shaft.  The GM Parts Manual list two possibilities.  It refers to the part numbers as before and after.  I hope someone can help. 

The car was assembled in May 1969.  Can anyone tell me what the term before and after mean?

Originality / What is the correct coil for my COPO

« on: November 02, 2008, 03:20:14 AM »

I am restoring a 1969 COPO.  One of the missing components is the coil.  I've look through the assembly manual and the parts manual and have researched other books only to be disappointed because I didn't find the answer.  Does anyone know which coil is correct, the 270 or the 293?

Thanks!

Maintenance / 1969 Hurst rebuild

« on: July 03, 2008, 02:54:44 PM »

Hi,
I am trying to find a brake down detailed drawing of the original Hurst shifter for my 1969 camaro.  I want to rebuild it.  I know I can get it done without it but as I get older, I am tending to research more before I jump into things. 

I have not started yet.  My first concern is; How do I get the bayonet style handle out of the lever?  Does anyone know this?  The rest won't be an issue.  If anyone can tell me where to get the drawing, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Originality / Speedometer Gear Reduction Unit

« on: March 19, 2008, 04:11:32 AM »

I'm new to this so my apologies if I'm in the wrong spot.

I viewed the gear reduction unit Q&A's and didn't find the info I need so I will ask my question.  I'm restoring a 69 Camaro and I want to make sure I get the correct reduction gear unit.

1.  This car was built with F70x14 tires, M22 Transmission and a 4.10:1 rear gear ratio.
2.  Do the gear boxes have date codes on them?
3.  Does anyone know the correct part No. for the gear box that I need?
4.  What about the speedometer gear?  I am confused about the gear.  Should it be an 8 or 9 tooth gear?

Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Does anyone know if a 1969 - 9561 COPO 4 speed - 4.10 gear ratio came with a gear box for the speedometer as factory equipment?
