 Hi Everyone

     I am still looking for a L48 Heat Riser Tube for my  69 SS. Checked all the parts houses, ebay and craigslist. Checked the auto swapmeets too. Anyone out there got one or know of somebody that has one? Any leads would help. What is the part number for this item. Also on another note what is the PPG # for the black Z28 hood and rear deck stripes? Thanks

General Discussion / RS SS Interior help

« on: February 23, 2010, 08:04:49 PM »

Looking for some quick help. Ready to purchase a 69 RS SS Coupe. I know pretty much what I am looking for and at except it has the black 711 standard interior. Should it come with the Z23 special interior or is that strictly optional. I wasn't sure if every RS was exterior and interior or just exterior. Thanks

Maintenance / Power Steering Overflowing

« on: August 28, 2009, 05:24:25 PM »

Hope you can help. I have read about this problem but there seems as if there is no definitive answer. When I go for a cruise in the afternoon and get back home I notice that my power steering fluid boils over and spills out. It does not happen all of the time but only when it gets hot. I have read in order to fix this problem that I need to get air out of the system and to raise the front end, start the motor, fill the power steering resevoir while turning the wheels left and right. I have all new belts and they are not slipping. However, the replacement belts that I bought are about 1/2" - 3/4" smaller than my original belt. Could this be the cause of the fluid getting too hot? Thanks for any help and suggestions.

General Discussion / 1st Car Show

« on: May 30, 2009, 11:26:21 PM »

 Hi, I have done my homework, I purchased my car, I restored the car and now I am ready to show the car. It is completely stock and it is a convertible. Since this is my 1st show I was wondering if anyone out there has any tips on how to present or show your stock convertible Camaro. Do I leave the top up or put it down with the boot on or off? Should I roll down the windows or leave them up? Open the hood? How far? Opened or closed trunk? These questions may sound silly but I just got done reading Muscle Cars Showtime! and judging tips but nothing was ever said about this type of presentation. What will give the judges a great !st impression walking up to my car. This is a great site and I have read about and have received many great responses during my resto. If you have any ideas or you are a judge please give me your input. Thanks.

Originality / 1969 radiator fan

« on: December 15, 2008, 07:49:32 PM »

 Hey guys , I am taking off my dealer added air that was added on back when the car was P/U at the dealers in 69, they did a terrible job on it. I want it to be correct. Thing is it has a 6 blade non numbered fan and everything I read s/b a 4, 5 or 7 blade fan. I read about the non numbered fan but nothing was said about the 6 blades. Any insight or info you can give me would surely help. Thanks

       If anyone out there would be so kind as to point me in the direction to purchase a Heater Floor Outlet with Console #3895932     I found a poor replication from Classic Muscle and I am just not satisfied with it. It was just made in fiberglass kind of chunky looking, a lot heavier too.   Thanks!

Originality / Original #s matching SS muncie 3 speed

« on: July 21, 2008, 05:18:45 PM »

Hi, I am interested in a 69 SS with a muncie 3 speed on the floor. Supposedly it's a #s matching SS. This just sounds funny to me. Why a 3 speed? How rare is this? Do you think it will distract from the SS image and not make the car as desirable as a 4 speed? He is asking 37k and rates it an 8 out of 10. The rarity intrigues me but not if it's a minus. Please give me some input and opinions. Thanks, 69 Houdini
