General Discussion / Crumback-Rogers Inc- Piqua, OH

« on: January 27, 2015, 02:42:12 PM »

Recently ordered the shipping info from NCRS regarding my 69 Z-8 and received it last week. The dealer name was Crumback-Rogers Inc located in Piqua, OH. Anyone one in the Dayton-Piqua remember this dealership? I did an internet search and came up empty.

Thanks,

1969 - Orphans / 19N651115 V0519DZ Block

« on: March 30, 2013, 09:54:45 PM »

I have a spare DZ 302 Engine that is stamped V0519DZ, VIN # 651115, Cast Date is D 30 9, Casting 3970010. I am relatively sure this car was salvaged in Ohio sometime in the 80-90's timeframe but if you happen to have the Z that it belongs please contact me. This is a spare engine that I bought about 15-20 years ago because I wasn't sure my car had it's original engine. Fortunately I have recently found the VIN # on my block after pulling it from the car for some detailing and to fix a rear main seal leak. The above block was cast one day before my block but the VIN#'s are 2919 #'s apart.

Thanks,

Larry

Decoding/Numbers / Stamping Tool for VIN on Block & Trans

« on: March 26, 2013, 02:02:21 PM »

Was the stamping tool for the VIN number used on the block also used to stamp the VIN on the transmission? The reason I ask is that I just pulled the engine out of my 69 Z and found the last 4 digits of the VIN stamped on the rough cast area by the oil filter. The stamping of course is very hard to see although the 4 digits I see are clear. So far I can't see any other letters or numbers in front of those four. The VIN stamping on the transmission is very clear but the first few letters are kinda light.

A little background info on this Z. Bought it in November 1983 and knew at the time that the block had been decked on a previous rebuild that blueprinted & balanced the engine. I also knew it was a real Z by the X33D80 on the trim tag. I was looking for a Z at the time and this was a nice car.

I have been doing a lot of research on CRG lately and have used that to make some discoveries about my car. I pulled the engine on Sunday in preparation to fix a rear main seal leak and some clean up and detailing. In the process, I checked part numbers, date codes, took pictures and created a document listing what I found. Of course I found some incorrect pieces(some I knew about already) but also found a lot of original items.

Let me know what you think about the stamping tool.

Thanks,

Larry

Restoration / Repro 69 Z-28 Positive Battery Cable

« on: February 16, 2012, 04:31:10 PM »

Need to replace the original positive battery cable on my 69Z. It is part # 6297684 AS. Do any of the Camaro vendors sell a reproduction of this cable? I talked to M&H in early December and was told that they could stamp their reproduction with that part #. I think they are reproducing the 6297683 cable.

Thanks in advance for any help.
