The car was purchased used in the 80's from California and has a blue california plate in the trunk date 1970. So the smog pump makes lots of sense. I have sent the money in to get the original dealer info that is now offered- waiting for that answer.  As to the 283 I had decided that it was not original but then i see a few odd things that make me wonder. perhaps someone else will know something. thanks for the quick reply!

I have a 67 , it had a factory tach that had the guts removed before i got the car- so not sure if it had a factory tach or not.  i have a newer electronic dist with a tach output terminal that is not connected . I installed a new reproduction factory tach. it shows the rpm when cranking and drops to 0 as soon as it starts. the back of the tach is attached to the printed circuit only. Can i pick up the factory wiring and install it to that tach terminal?

i have owned a 1967 Camaro rs for about 30 years. spending a bit of time doing research that was not available when i got it. I am brand new to this site! My car was built in nov. of 1966 in van nuys. the motor that it came with is block stamped v0329go. a few sites that i have visited list that as a 283 with A.I.R for a full size/or camaro!  It doesn't seem like this engine is recognized as a Camaro motor. but yet when you read the history of the z28 which cam out in Dec. of 66 there is a memo that lists Piggins as driving a "high performance 283 camaro" The car is a factory air car with the pulleys for the air even when the air was removed. it also still had the high output alternator.  I know there is a lot of discussion about the 283 in Camaro's other than the few that were for export. does anyone have history of when the z28 was in " the works" ? are there any proven 283 in Camaro's other than exports? Any chance that this motor was the original? also what does that A.I.R. stand for?  Thanks
