If there's no hole in the subframe for the rod, then most likely the car didn't have a spoiler when new or the subframe got changed....Joe

There is most likely a rubber grommet that the wire runs through that mounts on the fire wall also

There is. It's part of the harness.....Joe

Passenger side of the fuse box, there is a dimple. I believe the hole size is 1/2". Hole was done by Fisher. That's why it's not in the AIMs book...Joe

Originality / Wire information about a power window or power top car

« on: March 14, 2024, 01:15:42 AM »

I have a friend installing power windows in his 69 coupe. There's a wire with a grommet that comes from the inside of the car, through the firewall & goes to the circuit breaker. I went though the AIMs book but couldn't come up with a definitive answer as to where that hole needs to be. Even the chart doesn't show that hole. Power top should have the same hole. It should be 1/2". Can anybody help please & tell me the location of that hole? Thank you, Joe

If your car doesn't have style trim, the bolts that hold the fenders to the wheel wells will be phosphate. If you car has style trim, those fender/wheel well/lip molding bolts will be zinc. Don't forget to under coat the front wheel well, but only 1/2 way. (I lost points for over doing it) .....Joe

Actually, there were only 3 different 396 engines in 1968, L34, L35, & L78. The L89 was a cyl head option that could've been ordered with the L78 engine....Joe

Dimensions are given in the Assembly Instruction Manual RPO Z28 B2, View A.

I saw that. I just wanted to see if anybody had a LA version to compare. Thank you, Joe

Does anybody have a Los Angeles built 69 Z/28 with a vinyl top? I'm looking for the specs between the stripes & the vinyl top moldings. Thank you, Joe
