Originality / Re: 69 Camaro big block oil line for gauges

« on: May 08, 2006, 02:16:54 PM »

Steve: The brass one piece fitting with the 45 degree angle looks right. I have an NOS line I found in the early 80"s and if I can get my son to help me load some digital pictures I will. It has a metal line that goes from that fitting to a bracket (only piece I do not own) that bolts to the head. From there it is the black nylon line to the guage. The drawing in the AIM is pretty good.

Originality / Re: Caps for 69 (68?) RS windshield washer bracket

Boy! I've been busy and haven't had much time to check back, so I was sure suprised to see this topic still getting recent comment. I appreciate your pictures Kurt. They of course are black while mine as in the ebay ad are red. However those in your picture look to be larger thus my concern about the red ones fitting on the screw without splitting. I am looking on page 460 of the AIM where it shows pn# 3767303 for the 3 screws coming up out of the inner fender (ones shown in your picture) and pn# 3866096 caps for the 3 screws used to attach the jar bracket to the support. Small parts I know but I have always been intrested in having correct items. Reminds me of the cap (3908372) used on the left rear shock only on all 1st gen camaro's. No one ever talks about them but they do exist.

JohnZ, I notice your Z/28 was built 02D at Norwood as was my L78. My vin is xx5415. Where is your car from mine. About 15 years ago I came across a Z/28 close to where I live that was built 5 cars away from mine.

Originality / Caps for 69 (68?) RS windshield washer bracket

« on: February 28, 2006, 07:11:09 PM »

I found these for sale on ebay (#4615700167). I purchased mine much the same as this seller. Can those of you with original RS cars or experience comment on correctness. I know the part # is the same as listed in the ASM. They always struck me as being to small for the screws I have on my bracket. I'm also intrested in pn# 3866096 Cap. I do not have these and would like to know any differances.

Can someone explain to me how to link the ebay site to here so you just have to click on it to get there?

Thanks

Originality / Re: Date codes on 67 wheels?

« on: February 09, 2006, 04:34:27 PM »

Thanks. Your code is what I thought was right for a non SS car. No date codes might make finding a set of 5 easier. Is your car disc brake or power disc brake?

Originality / Date codes on 67 wheels?

I am looking for some rally wheels for my 67 RS built 10C at LOS. Were wheels always date coded or is there a possability that early wheels weren't? If GM was date coding wheels thru all of the 67 model year any idea when that practice may have started?

John: It seeems to me I have an ad from Apple (maybe 10 years ago?) staing that they could. I'd have to look and see if I could find it or I could just call and ask.

Thanks Kurt. I didn't know they were not for use on the road. Any comments on having used originals rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics?

2-3 weeks ago I came across the ZL-1 that Heartbeat city has offered for 1,000,000+ on ebay, put up by someone else in the same price range as this Yenko clone. I recognized it by the same pictures Heartbeat had used, just not near all of them. It was pulled pretty quickly.

What is the opinion on these? This is ebay auction #460560480. Anybody have a hands on look at them and who is repoing them? This same seller had another pair about 1 1/2 months ago that just didn't add up to me so I emailed and asked if they were used shocks that had been blasted and repainted. I was told that they were NOS, and the winning bidder (not me, I wasn't going there) paid over $1500 for the 4. I own a pair of NOS 851's and 1 NOS 477 that I have had for almost 20 years. What caught my eye was the nut and washer on the bottom of the rear's are painted. The supposed NOS shocks from before also had no code tags on them. Mine do. If I was selling mine I would make sure you saw the tags.

Originality / Early 67 rear bumper guards?

« on: January 06, 2006, 12:43:04 AM »

Anyone intrested check out ebay #4601402060. I also own a set of rear bumper guards like this that are solid and have no rubber strip. I found mine in a salvage yard in the mid 70's (that car also had a bench seat that I didn't pull). I have asked others for their opinion but no one seems to know what I was talking about. My 67 is a 3rd week of October 66 build and I'll have to do some more research to see when this change might have occured if legit.

 I also have a 02D Norwood car. My original gas tank has  been sprayed with black paint and does look to have been done so at the factory. I would be curious what you think?
