Decoding/Numbers / Very early NOR tag question

« on: August 21, 2006, 01:56:25 AM »

I just looked at a friends 67 Camaro today.
Something seemed unusual.

The car appears to be factory loaded with options. RS, SS-350, PS, PB, A/C, Deluxe interior, PG trans, front disc brakes, speed minder,
The trim tag does not show ANY of the options except 3K?
The car was built 09D, and has a very low VIN number.

Is this before the codes were on the tag, it is a NOR car.
Or maybe this was all added at the dealer way back then. Or added at sometime to make a better car?  I couldn't read the engine stamp, to confirm the 350, but the car really looked mostly untouched

Originality / Cooling fan and clutch question?

« on: August 17, 2006, 04:48:03 PM »

I have seen that all of the early Chevrolets used the short water Pump through 1968 (except Corvette = through 1972) With this pump was I thought Always used a fan with 3" bolt spacing. Now I find out from some people that the 67-8 Z/28, as well as the L-78 used the later 3.25" spacing.??  is this true?

I had thought that spacing was not used on Chevrolet motors untill 1969.

3.25"  is the spacing used for the later "long" water pumps.
Are the water pumps different on those 2 - 67-8 Chevy applications, as to use a differnt fan and clutch.

I know that all the other motor divisions used the larger spacing, and Chevy was different. Why were these 2 applications different then the rest of the Chevrolet engine line?

Originality / Smog tube question.

Wondered if someone could confirm for me the finish of the 1969 SB smog tubes.
I had thought in that they were to be Goldcad plated, but I see all the resto houses are selling black ones.

Which is right
