General Discussion / Re: Rear Fiber optic help

« on: April 26, 2022, 03:01:05 PM »

how long are the fiber optic cables, that may be of help in finding out where this was.
the receptor fittings and insert gromets don't appear to be 1969 issue, I could be incorrect though.
The thru the wall grommets look correct, but why would they be there when camaros lights are inside the body, only the license plate would go thru the wall.
or possibly those gromets fit into the light assembly other than camaro, just a guess could be for a cady or impala, full size car.
camaro coupe cable lengths are about 60".
my guess is that those cables, with that head configuration, may be about 115"-120" which would mead full size vehicle.

traced back on things that were recently done on the motor.
I just reinstalled the oe rebuilt ps pump and the rebuilt oe water pump, so we decided to run, as a process of illimitation. one at a time I eliminated the alternator, ps pump, clutch with fan, then the clutch only, then I took the fan off the clutch, and all was good. time and patience worked for me.

found it.
it was the fan causing it.
after careful reshaping of the blades , i was able to eliminate the rumble/ vibration.
did not realize how delicate the blades were and using care, just how easy they were to reshape within 1/16 of an inch as the specs.

General Discussion / Rear Bumper unacceptable fit with tall guards

« on: March 20, 2022, 01:31:29 PM »

any recommendations on who may offer a 69 rear bumper that will conform to the tall bumper guards.
the aftermarket one and the tall guards fit is unacceptable.
it would be good for the short bumperettes, but definitely not the tall.
the guards are good, as they conform nicely to a oem bumper
any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

SBC, for short and tall water pumps, are the power steering brackets the same with the exception of a spacer used with the tall water pump.
Thanks in advance,
