Decoding/Numbers / Need help with engine code
« on: August 20, 2011, 12:15:27 AM »Quote
is there any service that you can go to for history and info on your car thanks
Only if the car was originally delivered to Canada. They kept all the records.
You also seem to be missing a digit in the VIN. 124678N45557x ??

Bill, you have a 396/325 with manual transmission. The engine was assembled on September 25th, 1967 at the Tonawanda, NY engine plant and installed in a 1968 Chevelle (or El Camino) assembled at the Baltimore, MD plant.

Originality / Re: 1967 Camaro Tunk Decals
« on: August 19, 2011, 04:11:35 AM »
There's a third.
One for the Jacking instructions, one for Posi and one for the N65 Space Saver tire.
(For locations, look in the 1967 AIM at UPC 10, sheet A2 for the Jacking instructions, RPO G80, sheet A1 for the Posi sticker and RPO N65, sheet A2 for the Space Saver sticker.)
HOWEVER!!!
Although it IS in the 1967 AIM with no notes about being never released, cancelled or discontinued, according to all sources, RPO N65 wasn't available in 1967. So in this case (1967), yes, as Buddy stated, there are only two.

Maintenance / Re: 67 camaro disc brake rebuild
« on: August 17, 2011, 08:54:05 PM »
There are three that are always highly recommended. In no particular order:
Lone Star
White Post
Vette Brakes
All three give a lifetime warranty to their rebuilds, but while Lone Star and Vette Brakes both use stainless sleeves, White Post uses brass.

Restoration / 67-68 shifter rubber donut
« on: August 15, 2011, 03:06:32 PM »Quote
ED....I think Joe was referring to the rubber retainer that looks like a grommet that fits over the main shaft. Item #7 on the diagram below.
Ah. In that case I can't help. However, Jerry MacNeish restores original Muncie shifters so he may know of a source. Give him a call.

Restoration / 67-68 shifter rubber donut
« on: August 15, 2011, 01:53:46 PM »Quote
Anyone have a extra rubber donut that goes on the main shaft between the shifter and the mount plate or know of a source?
AMK sells them. P/N 3910700
You can also get them from Clark's Corvair (Yes, they're the same grommet!). Number 22 (P/N C396) in their ONLINE CATALOG.
Also note that this same part was used on the shock absorbers!
(By the way, AMK sells them in a 4 pack, but you only need two.)
Or... if you also need the retainers (wahsers), you can get this SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING KIT from Rick's. Same exact thing, but you'll have a few parts left over.

Decoding/Numbers / Re: 67 special paint tag
« on: August 15, 2011, 01:50:25 AM »
Probably Y-2. Not a very good picture of the tag, but it looks like a reproduction to me. I'm no expert, so I could be wrong. I'll bow to Kurt and Daniel.
It's been on ebay three times within the last few months with no bids. HERE'S the last auction.

From the side it looks a lot like an early Corvair!
Do you have the listing?

going by the motor mount brackets and the accelerator pedal linkage, I'm going with V8.
That's my guess as well, but I figured if you had the full VIN you could confirm.
Not much left, but original disc brakes are worth $100 or so. The front sub frame another $100 or so.
I also see another sub frame, and a rear axle behind it. What's the code on the axle?
Is this a wrecking yard? The early model Corvair looks like it's a convertible, so there may be some parts on it the EM (Early Model) guys might be interested in.

And what are you talking about? A little bondo and she'll be as good as new!!

« on: August 09, 2011, 09:27:47 PM »
Yes, but by late August, they were using the three letter codes (CBU in your case), which is going to make it even more difficult. If you can find a mid August BU axle, that will work too.
