I got mine from Classic Ind., part number 2771967. That is a 15" pair of Anco refills.

I installed #67s in my rear inboard tail lights and they worked great.  Inboard and outboard are now the same brightness.

Thank you.  I bought the car from a friend in 1982, and he bought it in 1978, and at that time the engine had already been replaced.  I have the names of the 2 previous owners before my friend and am trying to connect with them and find out some more history.  Thanks again.

I attached another photo of the numbers on the top rear of the block.  You can see the TND, but I don't know what that or the circle of dots and what looks like 0 3 0 stand for.   I built this engine when I got the car in 1982, and it is a 4 inch bore with 4 bolt mains.  Any ideas would be appreciated, just trying to determine where this block came from.  Thanks.

Thanks for all the detailed feedback.  I will use 67s or 1155s. 

I just heard of this Camaro group for the first time and the info here is really helpful.

Originality / 1969 tail light bulbs

I have a 1969 Z28 (non-RS) and have a question on the correct tail light bulbs.  When my parking lights are on, the inboard parking light is much brighter than the outboard.  Current outboard parking/turn signal/brake light bulb is 1157, reverse light bulb is 1156 and inboard parking light bulb is 1156.  Is that correct?

Attached is a photo of numbers and symbols on top rear of block.  Also, on the block near the bottom just in front of the oil filter is a small 132N which is upside down.  Thank you for any feedback.

I cleaned it well and don't see any markings there at all.

I have a 1969 Z28 and the engine block has VO42OTND stamped on the RF.  I am trying to determine originality.  I have owned the car for 40 years and have just started to research it.  There is no DZ in the serial number, and I understood that was on all 69 302s.  I'm not sure if this engine is original.  The block casting numbers are 3970010 and GM29 on the LR.  I looked near the oil filter and saw no other numbers.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
