It turns out the owner passed away and the family is selling his cars , 2 El Caminos and 1 Camaro. I  don't think the family knew much about the cars. I  passed on the info from the members to him, thanks guys.

Decoding/Numbers / 67 Z28

« on: October 04, 2022, 11:55:58 PM »

I have a friend looking at a 67 Camaro. The seller claims it is a real Z28, I'm attaching a picture of the trim tag and one of the car. I did do some decoding of the tag and it looks like it came with a 3-speed floor shifter for M15 or M13 ( 2B ). I not familiar with the 67 trim tag and  I was wondering what you guys think of this tag.

As I mentioned in a prior post I'm not sure I'm reading the guage correctly,  I tried to post a picture of the guage but the file is to large. There is two sets of numbers on the guage, the outside number  reads 20 , the inside number reads 8. Apparently I read it wrong. The car is all stock and I've owned it for 32 years

Adjusted the floats, the rear was too high and the vacuum needle is bouncing  between  19 and 21. I  could be misreading the guage,  what should be a normal vacuum reading for a 302?

Ive been trying to figure out why my 302 is running rich and fouling out my plugs. Today I put on a vacuum gauge and it read 20 to 22 and the needle was not steady, it was bouncing. I thought maybe the valve's needed adjusting , did that with no change. I'm not sure if its in the carburetor. Plug wires are new, points were cleaned and reset, distributor cap looks good. Looking for suggestions.

I want to get a new set of date coded spark plug wires for my 69 Camaro.  The car was built the very last week of August . I know 1-Q is correct from Feb to Aug but since my car was built at the end of August would the 3 - Q be correct
