Maintenance / 327 noise.?

« on: August 08, 2008, 06:29:48 AM »

Hi all, i have not had allot of experience yet with camaro's and hope someone could point me in the right direction? Now i have a stock 69 convertible with the original 327 with 2bb. the engine runs fine and sounds fine when stationary, however when driving and i plant the foot and load up the engine there is a distinctive "rattle" sound, at first i thought it was a loose baffle in the muffler, but now im not sure. The sound only appears when there is a good load on the engine.

i know its very hard to diagnose over the net but any thoughts?

Decoding/Numbers / 69 decode

« on: July 23, 2008, 02:09:19 AM »

hi all im new in town and have just imported a 69 camaro convertible, now it is supposed to be a correct numbers matching car although im having a few issues verifying it, so heres what i have so far.

Vin : 124679N534829 (as stamped on the dash)

The only info i can find on the front of the engine on the pad is this code : VI10IFK (i assume there should also be a vin/engine number there to? The "I"'s have me stumped.)

I have the protecto plate that matches the vin and have attached an image of the cowl tag.

Any ideas? im thinking the engine might not even be out of a camaro at this point.
