Far from unrestored...

Funny. Never knew base clear was a paint option BITD..   

 Not sure what you mean. I said it was far from unrestored. That's means in my opinion it's not original. In other words, it's been messed with.

Bottom line, finding a CBC or BBC from a First Generation Camaro from the Norwood plant is rare.

I helped part out quite a few cars from the mid 70s to early 90s. Some were wrecked fairly early in their life. I never found any.

Different story on Chevelles and full size cars. But its like comparing apples and oranges.

Not a Camaro block. It's from a 1966 Chevelle produced at the Atlanta plant.

TO222EDH 6A127018 - is the stamped information.

It could have been on the carbs themselves, but I don't recall that.

It WAS on some of the advertising...

Ok build date of car is 10A - what year of car is it? If it's a 69 is it 10A of 68 or 69? What engine?

Unfortunately due to several factors I wasn't able to check the 69 350 CE block last weekend that I have in storage. Too many other things were going on. But I will check it when I can and report back.

You fellas are saying that CE engine *assembly* was done on weekends?   The CE engine in my '69 Corvette was cast on 18 September 69 (a Thursday).. no idea what day it was assembled.

Ps.  The cast date for the Corvette CE engine being 18 Sep, coincidentally happens to be the same day as my Camaro rolled off the assembly line at Norwood...   

Gary, the assembly date is on the surface the starter bolts to.

I understand that's the hypothesis of some of these posts (but this thread is the only time I've ever heard that).. I've never had the engine out of my Corvette so I cannot contribute on that.  It would seem to be a good idea to 'prove/disprove' that plus the 'weekend' assembly  theory via a table, such as we've done with other discussions.  ie.  If someone put the table together which included:   CE#, cast code (and cast date), 'assembly' date as theorized, and 'day of the week assembled' .. That might begin to tell us some things as we get enough entries...

Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not possible.

We need a lot more data points...

I always love seeing that picture with all of those COPO's parked out back!

Me too! 

100 CORVAIRS had to be built for SCCA. 

This link below is an interesting read.  I can not verify that it is 100 percent accurate though.

Carb for June car, yes most likely dated in May. Early June carb possible if car is a late June build.
