General Discussion / 1967 Camaro rear antenna

« on: March 16, 2010, 05:39:07 AM »

My '67 SS/RS came with AM radio and (U37 ) rear antenna. I will be changing the unit out to a AM/FM unit with ipod, etc. What should be done to help the FM reception? I have read that the longer length antenna cable causes much static and that is why GM only put AM's in these cars. I like the rear mount personally and don't want to alter the factory panels in any way. The sheet metal is all original to the car with no rust or damage anywhere. Hope you have a thought/opinion on this issue. Thanks

The F1 wheels are 15 x 6 inches. Backspace is 3 1/2". They came on 1968 to 1970 Passenger cars, late models. Rivited instead of welded. This information came from H.A.M.B. Check it out at JalopyJournal.com

This color looks like the shade of gray metallic that came on a 1980 Mazda RX7. I bought one of these for my wife when they first come out since  she fell in love with it. I bought a 5 speed and then taught her to drive the stick shift. She was a natural. . Check Mazda out. It may, or may not; be what your looking for. Good luck!

Maintenance / 1967 Camaro wiper motor 3 or 4 wire

« on: July 05, 2008, 10:45:19 PM »

Probably already covered, but haven't located post.  I have a '67 RS/SS and have a wiper problem.  Actually, more than one. When purchased, car was missing washer pump. Need one, A no brainer.  When wipers were tested I had to turn switch on and push in on it for the wipers to work. Would stop when the pressure on switch was released. I installed a new wiper switch.  The wipers would stop near the center of wipe pattern on windshield.  I guessed that the motor output arm was not in right position when hooked up to the transmission assembly.  Pulled motor,  alligned and reinstalled. The wiper still do not stop in correct position and now the wipers will not shut off without turning the ignition switch off. The moter currently in place has 4 terminals on it.  There are two seperate female wired connectors that are hooked up. One of the two pin connectors goes only to the far left terminal.  While the other female connector goes to the two inner terminals, leaving the far right terminal exposed. What is the difference in 3 or 4 terminal motors? They are both 2 speed. Is it a RS thing? Any suggestions and thanks for any suggestions.
