Restoration / Re: trunk gutter
« on: May 25, 2020, 11:29:02 AM »
thanks for the reply. My center section is missing. the trunk has leaked forever. the sides do have a lot of seam sealer which looked like it would hold. but there is rust on the trunk side of the weatherstrip. one side the weatherstrip was not glued well, perhaps the water was flowing thru that.  It looks like I have some parts to buy and a project to do!  it would be really nice if I could actually seal the trunk. Do you by chance have a picture of the upper gutter?

Restoration / trunk gutter
« on: May 24, 2020, 08:00:32 PM »
i have been having some water leak issues in my 67 rs. I did my water test and found it is running in around the trunk weatherstrip. found quite a bit of rust on the inside lip. So, I am working on cleaning that all up. I see that the trunk gutters are available now from classic industries as a set of 3 pieces. both side gutters which make sense and then the upper. their description reads" the gutter section installs around the outer perimeter of the trunk and allows the trunk weatherstrip to fit properly into the groove. the upper gutter molding is plated for corrosion resistance and the side moldings are painted black to match the original in appearance." So, the two side gutters make perfect sense. but my car does not have a SEPARATE piece for the upper gutter. and the plated makes no sense to me at all. my car has had both quarters replaced as well and the panel between the trunk and the rear window. perhaps this part was left out? should there be a double gutter at the panel between the window and the trunk? and if so, is it plated or painted car color.  i am debating buying new gutters to repair the rust issues on mine. or just cleaning up what I have.

nice car!  can you take a measurement from the front of the stripe to the front edge of the fender and then the same at the back?  It looks like about 3/4" on both.  thanks Mike

Restoration / 67 rs pinstripe- z21?
« on: July 31, 2017, 09:43:05 PM »
I am putting the pinstripe back on my 67 rs. i have the assembly instruction page for the z21 option.   i see that the stripe is 1/16/ space 1/8 and then 3/32.  i see the positioning of the the stripe down from the body lines for the 3 sections. i see the end detail.  I don't see the distance to the front end of the fender if i don't have the nose stripe. and the distance to the back of the quarter- mine says 126.625 which i can't make an sense of.  i am looking for those two dimensions. also the page says drawn on 8-24-66 and on the right side it has the revision record dated 9/8/66. my car was produced on 11/29/66.  is there a revised drawing?

turns out the connection was poor at the connector at the front of the console.  Did have a small oil leak from the oil gauge that leaked directly on the connector. not sure that is what caused the problem, but cleaned up connector and spades and now it works!

It did not come with mud flaps. But i drive it often and don't want to chip my paint. The fender, door skins, quarters, 1 rocker panel, header panel , core support, and valance panel, were replaced with g.m parts shortly after i got it.  I bought those parts from my local gm dealer.  This car does NOT qualify for your survivor class!

i bought this sometime in the 1980's.  I have repainted it twice. this is the original color. car came from California 3 years before i bought it. I got the info on the original dealer and it was delivered to Hollywood ! That is all i know about the first owners. it has a 327 with a powerglide  trans. center console,factory air, vinyl top, tinted glass, power steering, power brakes,custom interior, deluxe belts,  front disc brakes were added a few years ago.

Restoration / 67 temp gauge
« on: May 31, 2017, 02:28:13 AM »
my temp gauge quit working last year.  i have gauges on the console. i have power at the back of the gauge.  the gauge goes to full bank if i  ground it at the back of the gauge- but does not move if i ground the wire on the sensor. seems like i need to check for continuity on that wire next- i suspect it is broken somewhere.  am i missing anything?

i connected the brown wire that was originally connected to the neg.side of the coil to the tach connection on the newer distributor.  IT WORKS!   thanks for the help.

i have the brown wire from the original harness.  i will run it to the tach port of the hei tach port on the distributor.  I bought a tach filter when i ordered the new tach from classic.  i am thinking of trying the brown wire connection first.  should i put in the tach filter now -or- my thought is wait and see how it works. it is good to know that there is only one printed circuit board.
