Restoration / Re: November 66 built Van Nuys SS nose stripe

Post pics of your stripe. There are several people who can determine original paint on cars. It’s much easier in person but good pics often can be used to determine that.

If the seat date was correct, there is no way the seat was original. Your car was completed in early November as indicated by the NCRS shipping information production date.

So if the seat is original, the tag was not a late November date.  Or the seat was replaced at some point - possibly by the dealership.

For 1967 Camaros, TH400 was only available with the L35 396/325 hp. So it’s Quadrajet only.

As William stated - the 270 coil is only technically correct for the 1969 Z28 with ducted hood.

1969 and possibly other years with 2.56 gears and 8.25 x 14 tires received adapter 3925673 with 1.1111 ratio.  I will try to post a pic of one when I have a chance.

Originality / Re: Dipstick tube

« on: October 14, 2024, 03:44:52 PM »

I have been looking at dipsticks off an on for a possible report with one of the other CRG members.

I believe the part number for the tube you are looking for is 3928901 - hard to find but is being reproduced. Not sure if it is exactly the same as original.

Coils can be tested to see if they are good. 

I sold one earlier this year, it was the 270 - correct for the ZL2 hood.  I wasn't sure if it was any good. Sold it to a guy, he had it tested and it was good. I don't have any extras at this time.

Lacquer thinner on a rag is the best way to clean the pad. 

Then maybe use some 000 steel wool.
