Decoding/Numbers / 15 X 6 DC Rally Wheels

« on: April 20, 2009, 04:54:29 AM »

  I have done some research on the 15 X 6 Rally Wheels.  I pretty sure the correct 15 X 6 Rally's for a '67 Z/28 were coded DF.   I have 3, not a matched set, that are coded DC as follows:   K17  12   (stem)  7   DC
                                                                                  K18  4    (stem)  24  DC
                                                                                  K18  8    (stem)  20  DC   
From research I have done I believe that the  first Wheel codes out,  Dec. 7 -67.   #2 Wheel I believe is Apr. 24 -68.   #3 Wheel Aug. 20 -68.    I have found information that the 15 X 6  DC code was used on Corvettes in '66 & '67, but I believe that Corvette went to 15 X 8 Wheels in '68, which these wheels code out to be.    Anybody have any ideas?   Thanks!

Decoding/Numbers / Re: How did Chevy Use the same block for a 350 as a 302 in 1967?

« on: April 18, 2009, 02:45:10 AM »

  I have done a lot of research on this subject, as I would like to make my Camaro a Z/28 tribute car.(I have no intention of ever passing it off as an original Z, as I plan to leave it an Auto. car probably 700R4)   My 327  2bbl. block casting code is the same code that they used for the Z/28  302 engine block.   The suffix code will tell you what application it was used in.(mine is ME)(Z/28 302 was MO I believe)   Your idea that the 302 is a 327 block with a 283 crank is correct, both 283 & 327 were small journal for '67, so the 283 crank would swap right into the 327 block.  I believe that the 350 was large journal from the get go, so the 283 crank will not swap in.   Hope this helps!

Decoding/Numbers / Re: VIN vs. Cowl Tag Build #

« on: April 18, 2009, 01:08:41 AM »

Thanks all !    I went back to the report here on VIN. & Cowl tags, now the different "threads" makes sense(ie; 8032 standard interior coupe)   I also forgot to mention, in position 2 (top right) is  A 638.   Somewhere I found an explanation of this, the first letter was used for build day of month( A=1st., B=2nd., C= 3rd., and so on) and the letters were only used for actual build days(not calendar days) can anyone confirm this?   This would mean the car was built on Nov. 1st.

Decoding/Numbers / VIN vs. Cowl Tag Build #

« on: April 17, 2009, 05:41:20 AM »

  I read the report here on this subject, which left me just as confused as before.   It is a 11A - 12437 LOS car, the seq. build # 8032, which in no way correlates with the VIN.#113583.(why is this so)   I guess my question is, as far as all Camaros built in '67, where does this one stack up as far as early?

Originality / which Posi ID tag is correct for '67 - 12 bolt rear end

« on: April 17, 2009, 02:06:59 AM »

Which ID tag is correct for a '67 - 12 bolt rear?    I have a Red quarter circle tag that fits on the fill level / sight plug.   But I also see a little metal tag that fastens on one of the rear cover bolts also listed for '67 Camaro.   Which is correct?    Or should it have both??   If the little metal tag is correct, which bolt should it be fastened on?    I appreciate any help, Thanks!

General Discussion / Re: I need help identifying Rochester 2GV carb.

« on: January 20, 2009, 07:12:14 AM »

Thanks Marty, I have done some more research, from all pictures I have seen; here on this website in the carburetor section, Motorbooks Workshop-Camaro Restoration Guide, and drawings in the 1967 Camaro Factory Assembly Instruction Manual (as well as some others)this carburetor has all the appearance of the correct carburetor for my car.   The picture they show in Carburetor section, showing a picture of the #- 7027116 - Rochester 2GV with a M6 DA date tag looks exactly like the one I have(minus the tag.  It has the side Fuel inlet and the Dist. Vacuum advance fitting in the proper places on the Pass. side.    As for #'s; there is a 703 1734 on the bottom of the fuel bowl (the first 7 is larger than the other #'s)   On the drivers side of the fuel bowl there is a C 5 just below the Pump shaft and Lever assy.  There is a small C 33318 stamped on the end of the Throttle shaft(Drivers side)  There is # - 26469 on the bottom of the bend on the Choke shaft lever(Choke side)  There are some 3's going around in a circle on the back of the Choke pull-off, looks like 8BC104, I'm not exactly sure where this # should begin or end.  It has the correct Thermostatic type Choke.   My car does not have A/C, and there is not a Hot Air Idle Compensator on this carb. as far as I can tell, there is nothing on the back(firewall side) of the carburetor as described above.  The only things on the back of the Carb. are the Vacuum hose for the Choke Pull-off and a Brass elbow with a PCV valve coming out of the middle of the Base plate.   I hope maybe some of this info. helps you and/or me.   Thanks a bunch for any help!   Mike

General Discussion / I need help identifying Rochester 2GV carb.

« on: January 16, 2009, 04:43:32 AM »

   I have located a carb, I believe is correct for my car, but it is missing the tag.   Is there any other way of identifying it?   I am told this carb. came off of a '67 Chevy II with a 283 and a Powerglide, which would have used the same carb. as my 327 - 2 bbl. with a Powerglide.    I have a Car&Parts Catalog of Chevy V-8 Engine Casting Numbers, and from other research I have done I believe this carburetor is either a 7027110 or 7027114, and I believe this would be the correct carb. for my car.  The original stock air cleaner was on the car.   I have a '67 Camaro Coupe that came with the standard 327 2bbl. / 210 hp. with a Powerglide trans. built first week of Nov. '66.    When I got the car, and before I learned how to do much, research it came with a newer intake and carb., which I have since learned came off of a '72 Chevy(was used on several models).   From all pictures I have seen, I would guess it is indeed the right carb. for my car, it has a brass elbow with a PVC Valve coming out of the center of the back of the Base Plate.   The Bore in the Base Plate actually measures 1 3/8",  I found a number on the bottom of the Fuel Bowl   703 1734 (the first 7 is lager than the other #'s) does this # have any meaning?   Ther is a larger C on the front half of the throttle plates, and a 6 * (6 degree) on the back half.  There is a G-5 on the upper part of the Linkage(Drivers)side of the Fuel Bowl (Main Body).  There is C above the # 33318 on the linkage end of the Throttle shaft.  I don't see any other 3's or identifying marks other than the GM 2 JET and ROCHESTER on top of the fuel bowl.  I think I forgot to mention it does have the Passenger side fuel inlet.  I hope somebody can give me some help on this.   Thanks much!!!   Mike

Originality / Correct Distributor?

« on: November 08, 2008, 06:22:09 AM »

I am concerned as to whether the distributor on my car is correct.   The car was built 11A (first week of Nov. 66), the engine is a 210 hp. 327 -2 bbl. (base engine) suffix code ME, and yes it has a powerglide.   The date code on the engine is J 17 6 which I believe codes out as Oct. 17 -66 which would be correct for the car build date.( I believe)   Alternator is standard 37 Amp. dated 6K21 (I believe correct)   My concern main is the distributor.   Information I have been able to gather tells me this engine should have a part # 1111443 distributor,  the one on the car is a # 1111150 and it is dated 6 G 15 isn't that pretty early to be on this engine?   Thanks for any help.

Originality / '67 Jack codes

« on: November 08, 2008, 03:38:11 AM »

Can anyone give me a quick lesson on '67 Camaro Bumper jack codes.   I'm looking for a date correct jack for my Red '67 Camaro built the first week(actually the first day) of November '66 in Los Angeles.   Any help is appreciated.   FYI - this car is very special to me, as my birthday is Nov. 5, yes this car was built the week of my birthday.
