Restoration / Re: correct valve cover cap for L48 engine
« on: April 21, 2020, 05:02:36 PM »
Hi Ed, Thanks for your message. Please excuse my ignorance regarding the pcv valve & hose, I only know the engine basics. I have been driving the car like this for over a year. Is that a problem and do I need to purchase a pcv valve and hose?

Mnay thanks once again, Nigel

Restoration / correct valve cover cap for L48 engine
« on: April 21, 2020, 10:51:47 AM »
Dear Sirs

I have a 1968 RS/SS Camaro with the L48 350 engine. When I purchased the car it had an Edelbrock cap on the valve cover (see attached photo) however I would like to replace this with the correct one for the car.
I am going to place an order with heartbeatcitycamaro for a couple of parts and would like to order this correct part as well. Please can you advise.
Mnay thanks, Nigel

Thanks for the responses.

I am not a mechanic so I apologise for the questions but you mentioned the intake manifold  however the gasket I am after sits between the carburettor and the air cleaner.

The manifold I have is a standard cast iron manifold with oil fill.

Thanks you again in advance. Nigel

Dear Sirs, Please can you clarify whether there should be a rubber gasket between the carburettor and the air cleaner on my 1968 L48 350CI Camaro RS/SS. The car has Rochester quadrajet and original aircleaner. Many thanks as always, Nigel

Maintenance / no fuel to carburettor

I would be grateful for any advice please. I have a 1968 Camaro RS/SS with Rochester quadrajet. I have been away for 4 weeks and when I tried to start the car today it will not fire into life. The problem appears to be fuel related. There is no smell of fuel in the engine bay despite trying to start the car with my foot on the accelerator. The fuel lines were all replaced 1 year ago so I do not think that is the problem The engine is turning over fine and the battery has full charge.

Any advice gratefully received,

Many thanks, Nigel

Originality / Fibre optics box on rear parcel shelf
« on: August 10, 2018, 11:03:38 AM »
Dear Sirs, I have the fibre optics option on my 1968 Camaro RS/SS however the box which sits on the rear parcel shelf is missing two of its three bulbs. The one remaining bulb is red however I would be grateful if you can confirm whether the other two bulbs should also be red? Many thanks

Thanks for your responses, I thought the car would have body colored rockers as it is a dark green however I just wanted to make sure before the car went to paint. Best regards.

Dear Sirs, I have read a number of posts regarding certain exterior colors being an exception to the rocker blackout and I have had a look at the "Body Sill Color Exceptions" table on the website however I cannot find any mention of whether the rocker color (body sill color) on a 1968 British Green RS / SS 350 would be body color on black.

My car currently has body color painted rockers however it has had a respray in the past, before I purchased it.

The car is due to be resprayed in March and I really want to make sure I get the rockers right and I would be grateful if someone can clarify the color for me.

Best regards, Nigel

Dear Sirs, Thank you for all the posts. I have checked and the rockers on a British Green painted car were painted body colour.

I am sorry for the use of the word 'wings' instead of 'fenders' however I am English and the car is in the UK.

Thank you again for all your help. Nigel

Restoration / British Green paint colour for my 1968 RS / SS
« on: September 22, 2017, 04:27:32 PM »
Dear Sirs, I would be grateful if you can confirm whether Chevrolet made a British Green metallic paint colour in 1968?

My 1968 RS / SS Camaro came from the factory painted British Green and the car is still British Green now however my mechanic has advised that there is a slight metallic in the paint.

We are trying to match the paint now as the rockers and the front wings need to be repainted.

The car has been repainted at some point in the past which might be the cause of the paint issue..

Any help would be gratefully received.

Best regards, Nigel
