Looks like your engine is on ebay.

Sorry if this was already posted.  I searched and did not find anything listed for this partial VIN.

If this is your car, contact me.  I have your Protect-o-Plate in the original book.  Has dealer stamped information in the back.

It appears the 0073 rod I have is the 3-4 rod for 68 Camaro small block.  Not sure on the others.  Might be for Impala or Chevelle.

Looks like for 68 the rods are

Small block  Rods    1&2 3930071     3&4 3930073     Reverse 3930075
Big block     Rods    1&2 3930063     3&4 3930065     Reverse 3930067

OK I did some searching around and found some numbers, so I thought I would post them.  I hope they are accurate.

1969 Muncie shifters
OEM shifter housing is stamped 3138
OEM Round stick #5325, slips into the yoke and is held by a tang

OEM Hurst Linkage
302, 350 & 396 CID       Lever Arms    1&2 8541,     3&4 8541,     Reverse 5769.
302, 350                      Rods            1&2 1876,     3&4 1885,      Reverse 5765,    Reverse Lockout 5773.
396                             Rods            1&2 5775,     3&4 5777,      Reverse 5779,    Reverse Lockout 5776.

But I still have no idea what the rods I have are originally from.

OK, I can check that for some cars.  But I don't have an AIM for every car. 

Does ANYYONE know of a listing of shifter rod numbers for multiple years?

Well I looked them all over closely.  A few are are marked.  Here are the ones marked 0073, 96117, 5612, U, D.

A couple also have a mark that lookis like an M over a W.

Any idea what the ones that are marked are for?  All of these have a thickness about 7/16 inch?

None of these may be correct.  Even the ones that are not marked.

OK, that helps.  But are the big block rods any thicker than the small block rods?

And does anyone have any good pictures so I can compare?  I did see the ones in Jerry's 69 book, but
hard to do a physcial comparison with a photo that smalll.

Is there any way to correctly identify 1969 Camaro Muncie 4 speed shifter rods for a big block?  Do any of them have numbers stamped on them?  I bought about 8 rods from a guy and he said he used to have a correct 69 big block shifter, but sold it years ago without the linkage.  He thought some of the linkage he sold me was correct for that shifter, but I don't know how to identify them. 

Were the big block shifter rods thicker than the ones used for the small block or the same size?

Thanks in advance.

i have received a repop set of rs rocker mouldings for my 67 rag. they are 3 pieces per side. but is there also a long slim piece that goes along the bottom of the rocker panel below these pieces?

thanks jimbo 

I believe if you have the RS moldings, that is all you need.

You could send it to Hurst if you don't have someone locally that rebuilds them.  Here is the link

John, thanks for the reply.  I almost ordered the ones from Ricks, but then I found these right before I saw your posted message above.

Ok, I need to put new rocker panel moldings on my car.  The originals were missing in action when I got the car.

What company makes the best reproductions?  I am looking to spend around $100 or less.

Here is a link to what I am talking about.

Or does anyone know of some good originals for sale? 

Thanks in advance.
