Decoding/Numbers / IDENTIFICATION STRIPE

« on: May 26, 2011, 11:27:08 AM »

I'm not sure if this is the correct section for this question, but I'll post it here to start. Can anyone tell me what the colors were for the identification stripe on leaf springs? I saw it pointed out in the A.I.M. and have seen it reapplied on several cars at shows. It is the paint splotch located on the bottom side of the spring just before the front spring eye. I am specicically looking for the color for the '67 350 SS convertable color code. I have seen a light blue used on a '69 Z-28, but I'n sure that's not correct for my car.
Thanks,
Sean

Decoding/Numbers / MONO LEAF SPRING I.D. MARKINGS

« on: May 13, 2011, 01:41:04 AM »

 I was cleaning up a set of mono leafsprings from a 68 camaro convertable. I notiiced some stampings in the springs. i had previouslt read that there were no markings on the springs, but now i have found very promiinate stampings in the spring. On the outside of the eye whhere the pressed bushing goes there is a "2" stamped very clearlly in both springs in the same location. On one of the springs there is a "G" stamped in the flat part of the spring near the smaller eye,the shackle end of the spring. Has anyone ever noticed these markings before?
Thanks,

Originality / 67 SHOCK I.D. DECALS

« on: January 06, 2011, 01:30:05 PM »

Did all the shocks that were installed at the factory have the 2 letter I.D. sticker on them? If so, does anyone reproduce the stickers for a 67's? I have seen where the sticker is placed on the rear shocks, but I have not seen the location for the fronts. Can someone tell me the approximate location where the stick should be placed?
Thanks,

« on: November 18, 2010, 03:29:07 AM »

Can anyone tell me what is correct for a 1967 Camaro with power front disc brakes. I am refering specifically to the splitter block that has the low pressure switch. I have seen them for sale in both brass and cast iron. The cast iron one I bought new online has a drip that I cannot fix. I am going to replace the block and want to get the correct one.

Originality / 67 camaro rearend mounting

« on: November 17, 2010, 07:05:21 PM »

I was wondering if there were any washers used in mounting the rearend on a 67 Camaro. The AIM doesnt seam to show a washer being used between the T-bolt nut, and the lower shock mounting plate. It seams as though they would have, but the illustation doesn't seam to show any.

Originality / Brake booster stamp

« on: June 08, 2010, 01:54:47 PM »

Can anyone tell me what would be the correct power brake booster for my 67 Camaro SS 350. Should it have a "DELCO MORAINE" stamp on the upper left hand side of the front of the booster? Also, should the "O"s be open on the sides? I've seen them stamped both way. With the "O" openen on the sides, and also with closed "O"s. Which is correct?

Originality / 1967 SMALL BLOCK V-8 PCV VALVE

« on: May 30, 2010, 12:56:59 PM »

I'm trying to figure out which is the correct PCV valve is for my 67 SS 350. The AIM shows part # 6422294 as the correct PCV  valve for my application. Is this similar to either the CV-726C (6421934) or the CV-590C (6422721) PCV valves? I've seen thes listed for sale on line, and the PC-509C is advertised for a 67 Z-28, and I've seen the CV-726C advertised for a 283 Camaro. They are quite a bit different looking, so I want to make sure I get the correct looking one for my car. Are either of these an accecptable replacement for the 6422294 valve? They appear to have different size nipples on the end for the hose to connect to. Any help would be appreciated. I just want to get the right one.
Thanks,
Sean

Originality / ENGINE FASTENERS FOR 67 SS 350

« on: January 18, 2010, 01:49:18 AM »

I'm in the process of trying to do a concorse retoration of my engine and engine compartment. I have a 1967 ss 350 4 speed car. I just recieved my fasteners from AMK Products. I'm a little  puzzled about a couple of items I recieved from them. One thing is that there are no washers in the intake manifold bolt kit, or water pump kit. Did the factory use washers under the bolt on such items as the intake manifold, water pump, therm. housing? Also what bolt selection is correct for the thermostat housing? Is the b"TR" bolts correct?
Thanks for any help,
Sean

Originality / ENGINE ASSEMBLY AND PAINT

« on: October 27, 2009, 04:59:42 PM »

Can anyone tell me to what degree were the '67 350 engines assembled before the paint was applied? I'm assuming the oil pan, timing chain cover,water pump, bell housing, and cast intake were all bolted on before paint. Were the carb, coil, distributor all added after the painting was done? Also what about the clutch inspection cover, was it painted  orange?
Thanks,
Sean
