This seems like a good opportunity to clarify something.

The chrome knob did not use the lock nut as used on the Hurst T-handle. I regularly see a lock nut under the knob, even on cars going through judging.

I assume they didn't have/need one to square up a shift pattern since it was on the console?

Funny.

I was wondering if it had anything to do with not being able to get the top up. 😂

On blue cars that's never a problem!!  8)

Just a suggestion (WAG)
In our Electrical world polarity is sometimes designated by the Silver and Copper coloring.
Silver Neg, Copper Positive.

Remember the Radio Shack Clear vinyl speaker wire by the roll, we used to purchase in 1979!

I do not believe it is relevant in the case of an inline fuse-Breaker, as it should operate regardless of polarity or "Relative" polarity.

an Amp is an Amp when it comes to AC & DC current limiting circuit breakers.

Yeah, I am seeing both silver two post and silver/gold post repops and was just wondering what factory looked like.

FUSE- IN LINE.UPC C60 E8 (for 67') & possible other two years
Self resetting thermal "Circuit Breaker". with a corresponding Amp rating. #10 Wires Orange & Black.
Minor point of clarification.

As to the Color, referring to the Threaded posts?

Car is looking good Keep up the good work.

Yes, is one silver and one gold/bronze color?

You’re 180 out.

Thank you for the photo!! It also shows me the routing of the wires!

Is it possible to tell if one of the poles on the relay is gold?

Good day,

What is the correct orientation of the power top relay on the firewall.

Likewise, is the wiring and other info for the power top in the AIM?

edit -the relay is in the AIM under C06 and the connectors should be orientated to the drivers side.

My last question is, should the two poles both be silver or one silver and one gold?

I would suggest taking measurements between the body and ground, like shown in the AIM.

I wish I would have done that before I pulled my subframe off for restoration. I didn't think far enough forward to do this and now that I'm putting the subframe back on I wish I had.

Originality / Re: 1967 caliper hardware finishes
« on: February 25, 2024, 02:06:57 PM »
This is from the 1967/1968 Camaro Legends Judging Manual. Did not copy photos but the photos are in the Manual

Calipers are painted semi-gloss black.  All machined surfaces on the calipers will be unpainted natural metal. The calipers for 1967 and 1968 are a 4 piston design and carry a casting number of 5455533 on the outer half and 5455530 on the inner half.  There are two different brake line sizes found on the calipers. It is believed that the early 1967 used a 3/8 inch hex flare nut on the caliper for both right and left. The later 1967 and all 1968 used the 7/16 inch hex flare nut on the left side caliper and a ˝ inch hex flare nut on the right side caliper. All of the mentioned lines use a 3/8 inch hex flare nut for the hose end of the spring wound steel line that connects the two together. The caliper is mounted using two 7/16 inch coarse thread black finish hex head bolts and lock washers. With the upper bolt retaining the semi-gloss black painted special bracket to secure the hose using a black “U” clip. The bleeder valve is silver zinc/cad plated and does not use any type of cap. The caliper brackets are yellow cad/zinc plated and numbered 3913798R and 3913797L.

Thanks for posting this. So as far as I can make out:

Rod that holds the brake pads to the caliper - still unknown phosphate. I suspect it's either yellow cad, zinc, or phosphate (yeah, I know that's about all of them) edit - just found a nice photo of Chick's 68 brakes and this rod is phosphate.
https://www.camaros.net/threads/time-for-another-68-z-28-to-be-restored.182584/page-22#post-1668891

The bolts that bolt the caliper halves together - top one is semi gloss black, I assume same as the paint on the calipers

The bracket that bolts to the caliper the brake hose mounts to with the spring clip - it says the semi gloss black

The bolts that hold the caliper to the yellow cad brackets - are black finish, is that black paint or magnesium phosphate black?

I looked at Chick's 68 restoration photos, but of the caliper mounting hardware finishes are tough to make out.

So what is your point?

I think the question is "What is your point?"

Since you are posting here you must have some reason for posting?

  As in something worth contributing to the conversation?

IF you don't, then don't post on my Thread.  Thanks!   :P :P


You are going to get one notice, and this is it.

Act like you want to be here, or you won't be.

Heed this warning.
