The 1967 Z/28 did not have any emblems.  The early 1968 Z/28's had the 302 emblem on the fender and changed from the 302 emblem on the fender to Z/28 on the fender mid year.  I don't remember the time frame for the change.

Maybe not completely original.   They would have been changed to the 2.02 valves.  I am interested in buying.  Do you have digital photos available?
Thanks,
Bill

I'm not sure what you mean.  All Chevy 302's come with 2.02/1.60 valves.

Thanks.  Looking at the one with screws, the crome and other appearances did not look reproduction to me but I wasn't sure.  Thanks for the reply.

Originality / NOS rs gas cap

« on: January 18, 2006, 10:16:19 PM »

I recently noticed some differences in the rs gas cap for 1967-68.  I looked at 2 originals that was caste or riveted together, a reproduction that was made the same but  known to be a reproduction and one that I was told is an NOS cap that has screws holding the gas cap cover to the part that fastens to the fill neck.  Could this one with the screws actually be an NOS cap?

I would think they are worth between $300 and $400 in used condition.  IMHO

What kind of shape are they in.  Bare castings, used but complete or fresh ready to bolt on?  It all makes a difference.  By the way, the casting numbers for the '67 302 heads were also used on lower performance engines in the 1.94/1.50 valve configuration so without a visual inspection, you can't tell if they are 2.02/1.60 heads.

Wasn't the '68 vert Z green with white stripes?

It has a lot to do with personal preference but I believe due to the COPO cars as well as the cross ram cars available in 1969 and not in 1967, those are the cars brining the biggest money.  As for personal preference, give me my vent windows.

If it is a complete engine, the flywheel flange on the back of the crank is different on each crank.  The stamp pad is the best indicator as to how the engine was originally built by Chevrolet.

The cowl induction hood (RPO ZL2) was not an option for the 1968 model year.  It has been installed by a prior owner.  Cowl induction for 1967 and 1968 was available as an option for the Z/28 and was an air cleaner assemble that had an air duct bolted up to the fire wall.

Originality / L30/M20 cars

« on: October 18, 2005, 03:21:31 PM »

Are there any documented cases where a car built in July could have been a L30/M20 without the 12 bolt and no 4P on the cowl tag?  The car in question does not have the original engine or transmission and has a 3.08 open 10 bolt rear.  The car also has a 3/8" fuel line.  It does have the 2LG on the cowl tag and is a V8 car.  I do not remember the vin or all of the cowl tag but will get it to post.  The car has never been restored and I personally know the owners of the car back to 1971.

Thanks in advance,
Russ
