General Discussion / Timing issue?

« on: May 10, 2019, 05:30:12 PM »

My 69 Z with original engine starts hard after it warms up.  It really lugs battery on restarts and barely turns over.  It has a brand new battery.  Im thinking its timing.  Put timing light on and cant get timing line to match tab.  Its on top.  If I degree timing light 25 degree it brings it in.  Ive never had to do that before.  Am I doing something wrong?  Also reset points to 30.  Is that correct?  Car idles around 1100 to 1000.  Im an old big block guy.  Never messed much with a 302, but heard they can be contrary.  The car runs great, doesn't stumble or blow black smoke.  Thanks for any help.  Bob

Great story on your car...... I have always wondered where some of the cars I owned or bought came from.

General Discussion / 06A info

« on: March 25, 2019, 12:11:57 AM »

I was reading thru some old threads and saw that all Camaros built in June 1969 have a 06A trim tag.  But I cant find out why.  Just curious. My car has 06A build, Engine is 06/04, Trans. 06/17, NCRS shows production date 06/26 and POP shows it was bought 06/30.  It didn't sit very long on the lot.  Thanks for any info Bob

The original owner was from Schnecksville. Pa.  I bought it off second owner who's initials are JB.

Thanks everyone for the help. I checked out the car over the weekend.   Im no expert, but everything looks legit and the owner has lots of documentation. Its an older, but still a really nice paint job, the engine has just been rebuilt.  Looks and runs great.  Currently negotiating a price.  Bob

He states he is second owner.  Has POP, which looks good and matches stamp on engine.   Partial VIN is stamped on block.   VIN is124379N662120.  Does that match a June production?  Thanks for help...Bob

General Discussion / Original Z?

« on: February 01, 2019, 05:14:37 PM »

Looking for any info on this car.  VIN 124379N618870   Did a search, but nothing came up. Looks like a nice driver.  Hopefully I attached TT correctly and it shows up in post.

Thanks everyone for the reply's. Yes, its the Z listed at Volo Motors.  I did a search and saw some of the reviews.  I've got my eye on a couple more.  Keep you posted if anything pans out. Not looking for anymore projects.  I've done enough of those.  Looking for a nice, mostly original driver.   This is a Great site!!  I appreciate the comments and all the work and research put into this site.  Bob
