Originality / Re: 1969 z/28 carb fuel line bracket
« on: October 19, 2011, 09:41:07 PM »
John, the change was recorderd in the AIM on 10-31-68 (UPC Z28, Sheet A3, Item #12 & 13), but it looks like it didn't hit the line until much later. John Hinckley's 69 Z is a 02D build and DOESN'T have the bracket, so it must have started after that. In his book, Jerry shows the bracket on the 4346 carb (L72, L78 and L89) started in May of 1969 (page 142), but I'm not sure if the 4053 also received it at that time. I would assume so, but this is a good question for Jerry.

John Pirkle obituary
I didn't know John personally, but spoke with him on a few occasions over the last several years. He was a well respected member of the Corvette community as well as just about all other GM communities. His attention to detail was unparalleled and he will be terribly missed.
The picture below is John Hinckley and John Pirkle at the last NCRS National convention in July.
Rest in peace Colonel.

Mild Modifications / Re: Multi Leaf or Mono Leaf

Well, there's a comparison picture showing the differences between the multi leaf perches and the mono leaf perches somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. It may be on the Team Camaro site, but I didn't check there. Anyway, here's a quick picture of the multi leaf perch I lifted from this site.
The mono leaf perch is about half as deep as this one.

Yes, it'll fit in your 67 if it's a mono leaf axle. The depth of the spring perches will tell you if it's a mono or multi leaf axle. Mono perches are approx an inch to an inch and a half deep and multi perches are approx two and a half inches deep.

Originality / Re: '68 RS Options
« on: October 14, 2011, 04:06:44 PM »
Your car was originally sold by Andean Motor Company in Cumming, GA and has been on ebay a few times. Once in May of 09 and again just a month or so ago (EBAY AUCTION).
The trim tag shows the build date as 11E, so if it came with any stripes, it would have been the D91 (bumblebee), so no help there.
As for the dual exhaust, you'll have to check for the rivnuts.

And the only place these options are listed, are on the build sheet?
Yes, or the original dealer order form.
However, we might be able to tell if the car had D90 depending on the date the car was built. If it was built in January of 1968 or later, it would have the stripes on the door if it came with D90.
You can also check for the rivnuts on the frame for the dual exhaust option. If it came with the standard single exhaust, it won't have the rivnuts.
What's the VIN and the trim tag info?

should have single exhaust
Correct, but dual exhaust was optional on the base V8 engine.
Quote
Should have come with stripe across nose unless some ordered it stripe delete.
No, RPO D91 (or D90 starting in January of 1968) was optional on all cars except the SS (standard) and the Z28 (not available).

Tire size e70/14
This size wasn't used on the first generation Camaro. For 1968, the standard base model rim was the 14x6 steel wheel with the small hub caps, and the standard tire size was 7.35x14 2 ply. F70-14 tires were optional in either a white stripe or a red stripe, as were the rally wheels.

No, I don't think you could get 3k out of it. A few years ago original 69 walnut wheels in excellent NOS condition were going for between 1k and 1.5k, but the economy has really put a hurt on things.

Condition is everything, so anywhere from a few bucks to several hundred.
You'll have to post some good, high resolution pictures to get a more accurate value.

Roger, you asked this same question over on the Team Camaro site, but you never got back to me.
