so are we saying that teh cowl tag is a forgery???
Forgery is a harsh word. I like the term "reproduction", but you're correct, it's not a "factory" tag.

Paul, I believe Dave is referring to the D80 stamping on the trim tag and not the option itself.

Dave I split your post from the other to make it easier to find.
Yes, your tag shouldn't have D80, so the tag is a reproduction. As for the car being a real Z28, you'll need to look for other clues. Unfortunately, with a repop trim tag, everything on the car is now suspect, but there's still hope. What's the VIN? We may have it in the database. Also post a picture of the trim tag if you can and the engine pad. If the engine stamping is correct, you'll still have a Z28, but with a reproduction trim tag.
And welcome to the forum by the way.

General Discussion / Re: Low Oil Pressure Indicator
« on: September 13, 2011, 05:54:02 PM »
There are several variables, but on average, the light will come on around the 4 to 5 PSI range. Chevy engines require approx 1 PSI for every 100 RPM, so if you're at a 700 RPM idle you "should" have an absolute minimum of 7 PSI oil pressure. Anything lower than that and the lamp will start to flicker. If it's really low (around 4 to 5 PSI), the lamp will stay solid.

Ed, I have searched CRG and cannot find anything on this car.
I sent an email to Kurt to have him contact the seller and have him remove the CRG reference, but so far it's still there.

When I put it back together, I assume the shifter gets bolted into place and then the stick gets put back in from the top?
Yep. If you have a console you have to remove the upper shifter plate and the boot to gain access, but after that it's not that hard to do.

Did you remove the stick first? It won't come out if the stick is still attached.
And yes, you sometimes have to putz with it a little to get it out!

I haven't got the time, but can someone count the number of times this guy says "rare"?
And no, there's no way to know if it's one of one.

I think those hubcaps are actually off of a mid-70's Chevy pickup truck.
P/N 3918080, and optional in 68 and 69 on all models except Z28 and JL8. Not sure if that included trucks though since I don't have a truck P&A 31.

General Discussion / Re: Misstamped cowl
« on: September 10, 2011, 03:44:20 AM »
Yes, going by the pictures, they match. If you look carefully at the heater box location (Upper picture below), you'll see that the last three digits are 406 with the 4 and 0 being lower than the rest of the VIN. On the cowl (lower picture below), what I thought was a 1 next to the 6 is actually the dividing line of the stamp.
The cowl was stamped lighter than the heater box, so that's why it's hard to make out.

Yes, it happened once in awhile.
If you looks close, it appears the cowl has 18L341406 with a 1 struck above the 0. Can you get a clearer picture of the cowl stamping?

What steering wheel do you have and how tall are you? We need to know this before we can troubleshoot.
