Can you please clarify if “l” or “H” was used for 1968 carrier date stamping? I heard that “I” was skipped in the alphabet.

Look through this thread at yenko.net. Post 12 has a shot of a 68 unit stamped "I"

Yes Chick. I have seen a few very early built 69's with bright plated bolts. There was most likely a transition period until old stock was used up.
 Not a Camaro, but on Grady's Nov 68 built 69 Nova, it had a bright plated horn bolt. I believe a hardware Change like this and others was across the whole GM line ? Not just Camaro JMO.

They were removed by a revision to the A.I.M dated 10/68.

I should have added that the zinc plated bolts were changed to the same phos bolts that holds the lower hood latch. The numbers are there, and somewhat hard to read in the revision box, depending on your copy of the AIM. Later I will look up a page # for you.

Any thoughts on the value of a bare 67 Camaro metallic brake QG 4:56 axle, no pitting VG condition.

Thanks Mike

General Discussion / Re: Passenger door mirror

« on: June 28, 2019, 10:34:47 PM »

Too many close calls backing out of my garage.  It's time to install a passenger-side door rear view mirror on my '68.   Checked out various posts, but still not sure exactly how far back to mount it.   Would like to locate it similar to drivers side mirror, but not sure this would give me good side/rear visibility when sitting in the drivers seat.   Any suggestions?

You might also look into buying a Scott Drake mirror with a modern convex mirror. I have one on my 69 Chevelle and it is great, especially when driving. Hi quality mirror, check Summit Racing.
