Service replacement under warranty is a completely different thing than buying a transmission outright over the counter.

The pad stampings are not factory original. I wanted to see a clear picture of the pad with zero paint anywhere on the pad to see if there is any hint of original stampings.
If you can't bore scope the heads, the only way to tell more is to take them off.

Do you have the block casting date?
Your pad stampings don’t mean much to me. Can you carefully clean off all of the paint from the pad? Might have been stamped by the machine shop during rebuild.
Screw in studs were not available originally on any small block heads for 67-69 Camaros. But many were upgraded over the years.
Can’t definitively tell much about any upgrades to the heads from those pics.
You might try a borescope through the spark plug hole to see the valves.

I agree with Darrell.
Here is the body tag. The Facebook post does not show any drivetrain pics.

Originality / Re: Factory Correct Vacuum Advance - 1968 Camaro

A lot going on for me but I can try to see what I have. I bet I have 3 dozen or more distributors from 1966 to 1971.

My guess is this topic will continue to fade away.

Post the tag.
Most of the online decoders are just wrong. The CRG decoder is correct.
The L34 engine was not an option for the Camaro in 1967.

« on: April 06, 2024, 08:24:24 AM »This car NEVER received a restoration of the level you suggest. It has had shoddy repair and paint work done to it in the past and I have documented every part of it through out my EXTENSIVE restoration. There is no way anyone took this down to a bare shell, sanded to bare metal and then painted the bottom blue. This isn't my first rodeo either, as they say. I've taken a number of cars down to shells and rebuilt them and have a very good idea of what I'm looking at. You haven't seen it in person nor have a good explanation of why it is blue, other than you don't want to believe it's original. I'm really tired of you being negative or any useful advice as to how this car got the bottom painted blue.
How do you explain the blue paint on the bottom of the Z28
Believe what you want. No reason to get upset.
I gave you an honest opinion. It doesn’t mean I am right.

I don’t know for sure but I just bet it’s not original. It’s NOT uncommon to take a car down to bare metal when restoring. Did it a few times in the early 80s with Impalas.
