Restoration / Installation Trunk Lid Emblem

« on: June 04, 2016, 06:31:36 PM »

Hi Guys

I want to install a CAMARO BY CHEVROLET emblem on my trunk lid for my 1969 SS. The trunk is not the original and I don't know where to do my holes.

My car has no rear spoiler.

Does someone have the exact location where to put this emblem on my rear lid?

Thanks

Restoration / Rocker panel molding installation

« on: July 19, 2015, 03:34:42 AM »

Hi

I am installing rocker panel moldings on my 69 ss. The moldings had been removed in the past and never put back. Don't know where to put my molding retainer. I do have the Assembly Manual. Its hard to understand exactly where to put the molding. How far is the tip of the molding from the wheel well? How far from the door opening do I put the molding? Does someone have clear measures?

Thanks

Decoding/Numbers / R59 date coded battery

« on: October 20, 2014, 12:42:42 AM »

Hi

I ordered a R59 battery and asked that  8LT  be put on the left side and  25  on the right side of the battery.  To have a battery dated November 25 1968. My car was built 12D. I have a 1969 Camaro SS.

The shop sent me the dates reversed  25 on the left and 8LT on the right. Told that was the proper way. This goes against what I read.

So where do the date code go?

Thanks

Decoding/Numbers / NOS rear quarter panel louver

« on: October 16, 2014, 11:43:57 PM »

Hi all,

I ordered NOS 8701059 and 8701060 rear quarter louvers. I received 2 louvers with stampings 8724408 and 8724409 and the 4 tips (for screws) are rusted (the rest is nice). Is the 8724408 and 8724409 OEM NOS? I know 8701059 and 8701060 are the right numbers. Your opinions..

Thanks

Restoration / Bolt for front wheel fender mouldings

« on: September 26, 2014, 01:54:33 AM »

Hi

I am searching for the bolts that hold the front wheel openings mouldings for my 1969 Camaro. I have the small screws for the back mouldings but the front seem to need bolts. I read somewhere the bolt is Part Number 3853846, AMK products page 103 under GM horns (same bolt that holds the horns onto hood latch).

Is this true or where can I get these bolts? I want the most original possible.

Thanks

Hi,

What was the color of the door stricker on a 1969 Camaro? Was it the simple Zinc steel color or painted? I saw NOS black ones on ebay....

Mines have to be changed because the sleeve is loose.

Thanks

Decoding/Numbers / Brake Booster code and date stamp

« on: August 03, 2014, 01:15:03 AM »

HI,

I have notice that the application code for the booster stamped on a tab on the top right of the booster is 2083 for my Camaro 1969.  The Julian date is stamped on the other side of the tab is 1942. My code should be 9204, having disc brake in front.

My booster belongs to which car?  Julian Date 1942, can that be?

Please see picture of tag with application code. You will notice that the code is stamped up-side-down.

Thanks

Decoding/Numbers / Date code of part boxes

« on: July 27, 2014, 01:07:48 PM »

Hi

On NOS boxes, I notice that there is always a date code (I think). We got the part number, the groupe number and the date code. Example, I found NOS door handle for my 1969 Camaro and the box we has inscriptions:
75C9
3064224
Gr. 10.527

Is 75C9 a date code?

Restoration / NOS Rear shock absorber P1132

« on: July 05, 2014, 02:09:25 AM »

HI all.

I just purchased 2 NOS rear shock absorbers P1132 for my multileaf suspension 1969 Camaro SS. On the shock I received the part number is 3198132  P1132.  However in my Master Parts Catalogue it states 3192968 for my car (for a P1132 shock absorber).  Has the product number changed with time? I was told GM would change the parts number over time.  Date code is 9E 68.

Is this shock for my car?

Restoration / Side marker Bezel fastners

« on: April 05, 2014, 11:12:15 PM »

I am replacing my side marker Bezel on my 1969 Camaro SS. I am wondering if the Pal-nut self-threading nuts were all with a sealant and what size? Are they 3/16 in size? My bezels are NOS. Does GM still sell these Pal-nuts?

Thanks
