Mild Modifications / 69 Z-28 Tire Size

« on: May 15, 2012, 09:53:09 PM »

Just wanted to confirm what I think to be the case before tire purchase.  Looking to get some new tires for 69 Z with stock wheels, suspension etc.  Would be Radial TA's.  Question is size.  I want to come fairly close to the original tires which I think were E or G 70-15.  A little bigger would be OK but I  would  like a look close  to stock appearance and not have any rubbing problems.  I found a post from JohnZ from 11/2009 and he recommended 215/65-15 TA's.  Would that seem to fit what I am looking for?  Thanks

Mild Modifications / 69 Oil Pressure Gauge

« on: August 19, 2011, 08:16:11 PM »

Looking for input on 69 console oil pressure gauge issue.  I am using the correct plastic line from engine to gauge.  I have had the line break twice now, what a mess!  Probably cracked while doing  some other work on the engine.  Does anyone offer a metal replacement line or maybe an electric sending unit?  I suppose an electric sending unit would then need a new gauge, which I would like to match the current gauge.  Anyway, suggestions to prevent another oil bath would be appreciated.

Maintenance / 69 Console

Can anyone tell me how to replace the spring for the main door on a 69 center console?  Also, how to replace the rivets, nuts, and springs holding the ash tray door on same.  Not much room to work here.  Hopefully you don't have to take the whole thing apart!  Thanks for any help.

Restoration / 1969 DZ carb/cowl induction set up

« on: June 07, 2011, 05:39:10 PM »

I am replacing an aftermarket Holley carb with a correct DZ carb on a 69-Z.  Could someone please post some pictures showing the linkage, choke, and other hook ups.  Also, it had cowl induction so that is being redone as well.  So any pictures of the cowl induction throttle arm, wiring, and other CI bits and pieces would help.  Thanks

Originality / 69 Z-28 RS Marking

« on: January 07, 2011, 12:42:55 AM »

My 1969 Z-28 RS has Camaro badges on the rear area of the front fenders.  I notice that some other Z RS's have rally sport badges in this area.  Were both types used?  Are mine correct?  Thanks
