Factory M22s were only installed in HP models such as L78, L89, L72 and Z28.

Kurt, Jerry, anyone....opinions on this ?
My 69 X66 05A car has  the born/w factory M22 vin# stammped trans.
There are no doc's on the car. So would it be safe to say there should be no dispute to my car being a factory built L78 ?
            Thanks Mike

General Discussion / PVC clip

« on: February 01, 2008, 08:18:24 PM »

Has anyone ever seen this pvc clip used on a Z28 ? 68 or 69 ?
I can find it listed in the AIM under L78, on both 69 Nova and Camaro. I had restored a June 69 Z28 years ago and I remember it having the original clip on it. It was not a repop, was pitted and the gauge of the metal was heavier that the repop's


 Just curious, talking about it over here....http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/314472/an/0/page/0#Post314472..

I bought a SS hood this year off E Pay, not sure of the year of the hood. It's is going on my 69 SS X66 car. I am tired of the cowl hood thing on every first gen you see these days. I am also ditching
 the rear spolier !
 Any way, my hood find has "AA" stamped on it.
Comments ?

That is a good question, I am not sure that all is known about drive shaft markings, in general. Meaning all GM cars. Not just Camaro's.
Most likley had to do with the installation application, and/or ballance ??

Kurt.. have any of you CRG guys ever seen a pattern to the Colors ?

Here are the DS marks from a 04C 69 Camaro COPO. From L to R they are "Purple/Brown/Orange", and about 17" aft of the front U jount centerline.
 Have fun with the car.

Restoration / Re: package shelf board installation...

« on: September 02, 2007, 02:25:07 AM »

I'm putting some of the interior back in my '68 now, and the rear package shelf has me puzzled. I'm using the jute insulation under the board and the board just doesn't want to go with the jute under it. Do I put the jute down, then bow the board in the middle and slide it in as an interference fit with the ledge at the back window? Or do I glue the jute to the board and install them as one piece? Or do I glue the jute to the package shelf first? I know the vinyl strip at the front of the board needs to be glued to the trunk divider board at final installation, but the fit is so tight now I can't get the doggone board into place with the jute under it for mock-up. My Fisher Body Manual is no help. What's the trick to this, guys? Thanks.

Like most re produced junk, the new jute backing is to thick comparied to the original stuff, I have had the same problems with a couple cars I did, fortunatley I was able to re use the original and threw the new stuff in the trash ! You may want to consider not using it, the package tray will never lay flat.

General Discussion / Camaro cowl on EBAY

I think this is already in the data base ?? Kurt. But it is up for sale again
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270149380028&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017#ebayphotohosting

I copied the picture of the Vin plate off the EBAY add and the enlarged it, looks like the viv# is 12379N594786, they made an attempt to pencil out the last #'s, but you can still read them.

Originality / Re: COPO 9737

« on: August 02, 2007, 12:48:10 PM »

They state in the artical,"no paper work", but the restorers believe it to be an original 396 Sports Car Conversion And yes it has a 140 speedo, and larger sway bar. It then states they bought the correct 15" wheels for the resto.
You all should read the artical in question, In it there are some interesting statements about Camaro's in general that sound a little off. Such as " owner used correct headlight rings " The car looks to be a non Z 21 trim car, but the headlight rings have the chrome trim ring.
 Also the car has the more rare type of " Installed Upside down Cowl Induction Seal ".
And this quoate from one of the pictures of the tail panel, " Some purists say Fathom Green big block cars had no flat black treatment on the talilamp panel, while others say only black cars did not have the treatment. "
 Under another shot of the carb there is a # R4557 listed has the carb#
Anyway it is a nice looking Stripe delete SS. Enjoy the story, and be thankfull for all the knowledge here at rhe CRG.
