6-cylinder Camaros / 1968 A.I.R Smog Pump Part Number

« on: March 19, 2010, 09:56:25 PM »

Can anyone verify the smog pump part number for my 1968 L6 manual transmission car? I have seen listed 7802609, but it wasn't from the GM parts book.
If anyone has the same engine, I would really appreciate seeing pictures of the setup. Thanks, Joe.

Ken. Do you have a link for the same information but for 1968? Thanks, Joe.

Great idea. I was thinking of suggesting a category for L6 cars as over 231 thousand were produced, a significant number. Thanks, Joe.

Originality / 1968 Glove Box Documentation

« on: February 24, 2010, 04:10:41 PM »

I would like to know what factory glove box documentation came with 1968 cars when delivered from the dealer. I already have the Owners Manual and Owner Protection Plan with POP. Since my car was equiped with the A.I.R. system, should there have been an A.I.R. brochure? Would there also have been brochures for tires and battery? What are the part numbers of the brochures? Thanks for your help. Joe.

Just to be certain of the part number, I'm including a picture of the part from the Service Manual. Sight unseen, I don't want to order the wrong part. Can anyone verify that 3918952 is indeed the correct part number? Thanks.

General Discussion / Parts Catalogs

I want to buy a GM parts catalog for my 68 and was wondering which edition is best. As far as I know, the early editions show the original part numbers but not the replacement part numbers whereas the later editions show the replacement numbers but do not show numbers that are discontinued. Are there any other considerations? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe.

Here's a picture of a 68 with the 250 emblem. It's not my car, just a picture I had. I'd encourage you to install that L6. I've been driving my two-owner, original everything 68 with the 230 L6 since 1988, I'd never consider changing the engine for a V8, there are tens of thousands of them. BTW, if your L6 has a smog system I'd be interested in seeing any pictures you may have. Thanks, Joe.

Hi. I would like to solicit comments from those of you that drive your cars with a stock, fully functional smog system. I've read that upon deceleration there can be a popping noise and back-firing. Is this correct in all cases and are there any other adverse effects? It's hard to imagine that this was acceptable. Thanks for any input.

Has anyone managed to get any documentation from Holler Chevrolet in Winter Park Florida? If so, what's the trick? My car was bought new there and I'd love to get the documentation that I'm missing. I believe that they will be closing soon. Thanks.

Does anyone know the Delco part number for the rear Delco Pleasurizer shock absorbers that correspond with the front Delco shock absorber part number P1060?
Thanks, Joe.

If you look closely at the 12 o'clock position on the boss, you'll see an assembly date of 78 which is the Julian date for March 18. The master cylinder was cast on March 8 and the car was built during the first week of April, 04A. Thanks to all for your input. Joe.
