General Discussion / '67 Vacuum Canister
« on: October 08, 2019, 12:51:23 AM »
On a '67 Camaro with 327, power glide, factory AC, I found that the vacuum canister for the AC is there, but not hooked up and all the vacuum lines are plugged off.  What's strange is that the AC still works.  The vents change from top top bottom to defrost.  What does the vacuum control on the AC system?

Thanks,
Brandon

Originality / Battery Ground Cable Location
« on: October 08, 2019, 12:48:14 AM »
Hello all,

I'm trying to find the original routing of the battery ground cable.  I think the one I have is wrong.  Currently, it goes and mounts to the AC compressor mount, on top.

In case it matters the cars is factory AC, power steering, brakes, 327, powerglide, RS.

Thanks,
Brandon

General Discussion / Master Cylinder
« on: October 07, 2019, 02:38:14 PM »
Hello,

I'm looking to replace an incorrect (an non-functional) master cylinder on a '67 Camaro with power disc brakes.  Rock Auto is only showing one part number for disc brakes.  Were the master cylinders the same for power and non-power brakes? 

The number they give for AC Delco is ACDELCO 18M1036 {#19106822, 19176594}.  Also, I noticed that the Cardone brand is more expensive, and has a different discrption: 

CARDONE 1336280 {Click Info Button for Alternate/OEM Part Numbers} With Reservoir Info Front Disc brakes; with Bendix Brake Booster; with Dual Wire Bail Master Cylinder Reservoir; Original Bendix Boosters are Usually Painted Black

I'm not sure I understand the difference.  Is the Cardone a better unit?  Does it matter if the car has power brakes or not?

Thank you,
Brandon

General Discussion / Holley Carb
« on: October 06, 2019, 11:04:15 PM »
Hello everyone,

I'm helping my father with his '67 Camaro.  We're fixing a few things.  The car has been put back to mostly original but the carburetor is a Holley.  It currently needs some work.  I'm curious if there would be any advantage, other than originality, to returning to the original style carburetor.  The current carb has an electric choke and the previous owner seems to have crimped the heat tube for the old choke. 



Thanks,
Brandon

General Discussion / 3 outlet Intake Manifold Port
« on: September 29, 2019, 02:14:18 AM »
Hello all,

I can't seem to find a definitive answer about this online, perhaps because I don't know the correct terminology to search with.  On the back of our '67 Camaro (RS, 327, powerglide, Power steering, power brakes, AC) there is a vacuum port with 3 connectors:  Transmission, Power brakes, and another line that is plugged.  I'm curious what the 3rd (middle) connection is for.  The only clues I have found online is that perhaps someone put a '68/'69 port on the intake and the middle port was for the vacuum headlights (which '67 of course doesn't have).  My suspicion was that maybe it went to a vacuum canister for the AC system, but I'm not sure if '67 camaros were supposed to have them; our car does not.

Thank you,
Brandon

Originality / 67 vs 68 RS headlights and grill
« on: February 13, 2016, 05:47:00 PM »
Sometimes there are questions that if you try to Google you will never end up with a definitive answer, so I have come to the definitive source to get the answer.

I have always thought that all 1968 Camaro RS grilles and stripes looked like this (except for the SS badge):



And the 67 Camaro SS grilles and stripes looked like this (minus SS badge):



I believe that any deviation from this was just a mismatched and incorrect addition or restoration.  I believed that all 68s had horizontal chrome strips on the RS grille and a front stripe that stopped at the belt line and continued toward the rear of the car and all 67s had the solid black-mesh RS grill with a stripe that wrapped around the entire front end.  However, I have seen such an enormous amount of mismatched options I'm now beginning to wonder what was factory correct or if there were different options I was unavailable of.

Thank you for clearing this up.

Maintenance / Bench Testing Ignition Switch '67
« on: August 11, 2015, 12:04:00 AM »
Hello everyone,

I'm helping my father with a problem with his Camaro.  I've searched online but can't seem to find a description for how to bench test an ignition switch for a '67 Camaro.

The car will start but when the key is released it dies.  After some searching we believe it's probably the ignition switch, but I would first like to bench test it before moving on to the resistor wire or tachometer.  In case it makes a difference it's a '67 Camaro RS 327 with p/s, p/b, windows, tilt wheel and a/c.  I have the switch removed.  One of the prongs does have a small amount of plastic as though it may have perhaps gotten hot at one point.

Thanks,

General Discussion / '67 Camaro leaf springs
« on: January 23, 2013, 05:26:34 AM »
Will '67 and '68 Camaro leaf springs interchange as long as they match in relation to mono or multi leaf.  I have searched and found conversion info, but I'm unsure if I found a monoleaf '68 leaf spring if it would bolt right up to my '67 Camaro.

Thanks,
Brandon

Originality / Factory Disc Brakes on a '67
« on: October 08, 2012, 01:47:48 AM »
Could someone tell me how to tell if my father's recently purchased Camaro came with factory disc brakes.  All I have found are RPO numbers that would tell, but without having the build sheet I'm not sure how to tell what RPOs the car has.  I have decoded the trim tag with help from the site and it doesn't seem I can tell from that.

Also, if it did have disc brakes would it be mandatory that it came with rallies?

Thanks,
Brandon

Decoding/Numbers / Dad just got a '67.
« on: October 06, 2012, 05:53:26 PM »
Hi everyone,

I have a '67 Camaro that I've posted about here before and coincidentally my dad just bought a '67 yesterday from the same guy I got mine from over 15 years ago.

Dad's seems to be a high optioned car.  It is a RS with power steering, tilt wheel, factory air, power windows, deluxe interior, seat belts and console with gauges, though I'm not sure how much is original.  I took a picture of the trim tag and was wondering what some of it might mean.  The car seems to be fairly original and I'm hoping it's as original as it seems.  He has wanted a car as a daily driver so I really hope he just enjoys it and drives it as much as possible.

I forgot to mention that the guy he bought it from thinks me may still have the California plates, which I thought would be very good to keep with the car.



Thanks,
Brandon

General Discussion / Special Rare Air Induction?
« on: February 11, 2011, 03:10:48 AM »
Hello,

I found the CRG website and was blown away by the wealth of information.  It's amazing.

I have a '67 Camaro I, in a way, inherited.  When I got it there was a hole in the passenger side firewall that lead directly into the cavity below the cowl vent.  I was told that it had been put there to mimic a type of rare induction.  My car didn't come with it of course.  I was told that originally, if a car came with it, there would be an enclosure around the air filter and a tube that would lead over to the hole in the firewall.  Essentially, it would give the car cowl induction through the vents in the cowl.

I've never seen or heard of this and I assumed if it were real I would have found it somewhere on the CRG website.  I doubt it's true, but I'd like to make sure.  Can anyone verify this to have been true?  I suppose it could have been offered on 67-69 for all I know?

 Thanks,
 Brandon
