Originality / Wire information about a power window or power top car

« on: March 14, 2024, 01:15:42 AM »

I have a friend installing power windows in his 69 coupe. There's a wire with a grommet that comes from the inside of the car, through the firewall & goes to the circuit breaker. I went though the AIMs book but couldn't come up with a definitive answer as to where that hole needs to be. Even the chart doesn't show that hole. Power top should have the same hole. It should be 1/2". Can anybody help please & tell me the location of that hole? Thank you, Joe

Original Cars and Details / Yard find 1969 Z/28 RS

« on: December 17, 2023, 12:42:23 PM »

The story of this car has been passed around Tucson for many years. The story turned out to be real. I'm probably the only one who didn't actually know where this car was located. I heard it was on the south side & then I heard that it was on the east side. Somebody was in the right place at the right time with the right amount of cash & it wasn't me. The car has been sitting outside all these year & the Az sun has taken it's normal toll. The car is a 09A 1968 built car so some things are different. The born with engine & trans were still with the car. The new owner just wants to make it alive again, but leave the car as is. Enjoy

68 w/o tilt, does it have a spring between the cancel cam & steering wheel hub? I've looked in the parts book & the assm manual. My research was inconclusive. Thank you, Joe

A friend had an old picture of a car his girlfriend's parents bought in 1969 & traded in 1972. I'm thinking this car is Asure Turquoise. Any thoughts? Thank you, Joe

I'm having Dan Patch restore some 477 & 851 shocks for my 68 Z/28. Was the shock codes for these 2 shocks the same for 1968 & 1969? UN & PS? Thank you, Joe

Research Topics & Reports / Fuel Pump Research

« on: August 29, 2022, 10:07:28 PM »

I'm seeing more & more discussion about fuel pumps & realize we need to know more. I've been researching fuel pumps through as many avenues as I can think of. I've created a list that Kurt will share. What I need is more input from anybody that might have original pumps. The part number, date code & known exact application would be wonderful. Information from just the flange only will always help. The picture is Guy Youngdell's original pump from his 12k miles 375hp April 1969 Built. Thank you, Joe

Is there such a thing as a 40727 fuel pump with a 2 letter date code? Everything I've observed is a Jullian date which was after 1971. Thank you, Joe

I'm putting a NOS front bumper on my 68 & on the corner bolts there are flat washers between the rubber bushing & the special nut, pn 128144. I could use a spec on that washer if anybody has one. Both of mine are different but one could be correct. Thank you, Joe
