My CE block has "stuff" like that on it too.

Don't forget:
2S = rear antenna
Paul
I meant that. I don't know where I came up with 4s. When did L30 production start?

The reddish color on V1009DZ's pic, is that the factory primer or what? In Jerry's book he said floor pans could be semi-gloss black, mine were the color of V1009DZ's rear bulkhead.

Mark, does the 4s mean rear antenna and in Jerry's book he shows 4p as L48 and L30/M20? Am I reading this wrong or is there something else I'm not seeing?

Is that fairly consistant? I thought I had seen some on the side.

That's what I was hoping, thanks again Jerry. It would be 18Lxxx for LOS cars though right?

Decoding/Numbers / Muncie vin #'s
« on: March 24, 2007, 06:37:50 PM »
Is there a "rule" to how the vin #'s were stamped on the 68 Muncie for the Z28? JM's book shows one that has a 1 before the vin, I guess to denote Chevrolet? Like 18nxxxxx and Pontiac 28nxxxxx. I talked to a guy rebuilding my trans and he said he hardly ever sees the 1 before the vin #. Is this 1 just on Norwood, Los, 68 Z's, certain production runs or what? Or is it just supposed to be there and sometimes it doesn't get put on?

Restoration / Re: Front wiring harness routing
« on: March 23, 2007, 09:10:35 PM »
I have it and it shows it being routed between inner and outer fenders. However, I have seen some original cars that have it attached on the fenderwell as mine was. I'd like to know from someone that knows for sure when and why this is.

Restoration / Front wiring harness routing
« on: March 22, 2007, 11:06:01 PM »
I didn't get a definative answer so I will try again. Does anyone know where and or why some 68 non RS Z28's had the front wiring harness routed between the inner and outer fender and some seem to have it connected to the inner fender with two vertical straps? Is it based on options or what, and does the washer hose go with the harness wherever it goes? I have a very light optioned Z: AM radio, console guages, no power steering. When I bought it, the washer hose was routed to the inner fender with two vertical straps attached to it.

The cap is black, but I'm almost positive the rest of it isn't. MacNeish has a picture in his books and they are a silver metal color. I don't think its paint but bare metal. He could tell you for sure.

aus, Australia isn't that by Germany?.. Just kidding, I didn't put together the aus after 69 until you mentioned it. AIM is the Assembly Instruction Manual. It is supposed to be what they used to put these cars together and is supposed to tell you about every piece that's on the car. It can be a little cryptic at times and some of the reprints aren't the best, but it's worth way more than the $20 mine cost me and it is very helpful. I don't know what access you have down there to things locally or if you have to order from here. There are a few Aussies and a NZ guy on Team Camaro. You could check there and see their posts and ask where they got theirs.

Restoration / Re: body bushing
« on: March 19, 2007, 11:30:01 PM »
I thought it was easy, but mine weren't rusty. People say to spray penetrating oil on the bolts and let it set a while first. I loosened both sides but only took the bolts out of one side and pried the subframe apart far enough to get bushings out and put new ones in, put the bolts in that side and did the other.

Mine was /is a silver gray, almost like Rally wheel color. Don't know for sure if that's right though.

I don't think I could explain it correctly. There's a good picture in the AIM. p. 102 in the 69 and p.103 in the 68. You have to push the pin through the throttle rod and partway onto the pedal. Then push the spring over the pin with the spring tensed against the pedal (wire pointed up). Then push pin all the way through and pull up the hooked end of spring over the throttle rod.
