Originality / 1968 Camaro SS RS

« on: March 11, 2018, 10:43:01 PM »

In regards to a Canadian sold 1968 SS RS L48 4 speed Camaro, I have a few questions. The car was delivered November 1967.

1. Would the car have been equipped with a chrome lid air cleaner?
2. If so, does any body re-pop them?
3. Would the car been equipped with chrome valve covers?
4. If not, would the orange painted valve covers been a flat smooth finish?
5. What would the yellow line and red line be on the tach?

Thanks CRG

Originality / 1969 Camaro Rear Speaker and Insulated Box

« on: August 14, 2015, 09:29:43 PM »

When a 69 Camaro was equipped with the U80 radio option (AM/FM radio operated with a fader for the one rear speaker), did that one speaker have a insulated box covering it?

If so, does anybody have some pics of the actual insulated box?
Now to push my luck, does anybody have pics of the bare speaker with the bracket that was used to hold the insulated box?
Or are there pics of the factory assembly mounted on the rear shelf package?

Thank you CRG!

Originality / 1969 Camaro - Rear Leaf Spring Color Code/Paint Dab

« on: July 08, 2013, 03:29:09 AM »

In the assembly manual on page 57, it clearly describes a color code stripe on the eye of the front of the rear spring.

Was this done at the factory (I assume so) to distinguish various spring applications or for checking torque specs after assembly?

Are there documented cars with this on it?

Was the color code stripe a paint dab or a sticker?

What color was the stripe/dab if you had a 69 Z/28 Norwood build?


Thank you CRG!!!

Originality / T-60 Battery (top post heavy duty)

« on: May 31, 2013, 03:29:11 AM »

Would anybody have pictures of a T-60 top post heavy duty battery? Is there another designation for the T-60?

What was the difference in dimensions and/or cranking amps in relationship to a Y-55?

If anybody has a T-60 they would like to sell, I would like to purchase one.

Looking for either new or a good used one.


Thank you CRG!

Originality / Option Z22 and Z23

« on: April 02, 2013, 06:27:40 PM »

Would a 1969 Camaro R/S Z/28 (option Z22) with a standard black interior and a console with gauges, and not the Z23 option, have the bright pedal trim, a wood grain steering wheel shroud with the RS steering wheel emblem, a dash grab bar/bezels/emblem and dash instrument panel molding?

If not, was it only the Z23 option code that triggered this option package?

Would the same car automatically have the woodgrain radio and wiper/headlamp switch plates because of the woodgrain on the console shifter area?

Thanks

What style of trims rings were used on a 1969 Z/28?
Are there detailed photo's avaiable?

I am in the process of painting my black stripes on my 69 Z/28. The body shop is asking for a paint code to properly mix the paint. Can somebody supply me with the proper paint code for mixing.
