Restoration / hood to top header panel gaps

« on: March 12, 2016, 05:32:41 PM »

I have a 67 rs/ss 350. the gaps on both sides and rear of hood(cowl panel) are nicely aligned. the gap on the front of the hood to the top header panel is different from the passenger and drivers side. drivers side is a nice gap of 3/16 but passage side is 3/8. I have seen many Camaros with the same problem. is this normal? if not how do I align it. the  fenders to doors/doors to qtr all look good.

Originality / 1967 compressor vacuum electric switch

« on: November 19, 2015, 04:56:29 AM »

my april built 67 Camaro with factory a/c has a "compressor vacuum electric switch". the part turns on the compressor clutch. I rebuilt it with a new rubber backing and seems to work well.
my question is why would gm use a vacuum electric switch? does the vacuum or lack thereof cycle the clutch. I know when the quad-a-jet goes "WOT" you lose vacuum. so u have vacuum at low rpms or cruse rpms. on acceleration low vacuum thus turning off clutch.

Originality / 67 windsheild wiper motor

« on: February 02, 2015, 06:51:27 PM »

I have a 67 rs/ss 350. my wiper motor is part 5045508 type E. black with a yellow stamp of "199 66". I assume the "199" is mid July Julien date of 1966. my car was born 1st week of April 1967. my question is:  could this be the original motor made 10 months before the car? if so then it is worth rebuilding/restoring.

Originality / a/c hose sizes

« on: January 30, 2015, 08:21:33 AM »

I have a 67 rs/ss 350 with factory a/c. the condenser seems to have 2 size outlets, a size 12 (5/8) on top and size 10 (1/2) on bottom. 

the smaller hose runs to the drier, but my original and after market fitting is hose size 8 (13/32).

the larger hose runs to the muffler, but the muffler outlet is size 10 not 12.

the rear outlet on muffler runs to the poa and both are size 12. (thank god)

the other side of the drier is size 8 and runs to the expansion valve, but the fitting on the exp valve uses a much smaller hose(sorry cant tell size).

so here is my questions. 1. is the condenser incorrect or the drier/muffler size fittings wrong. 2. is the muffler incorrect. 3. is the fitting on the exp valve incorrect.  please, please help!

Originality / 67 rs/ss pillar post paint

« on: July 27, 2014, 09:39:18 PM »

I have a 67 rs/ss capri cream (t code) with black vinyl roof. Before I stripped the paint off the bottom side of the pillars they were painted black along with the lower rocker area. For a correct restoration, do I need to paint the underside of the pillar area black or body color?
