Originality / Deluxe Interior No Gauges or console

« on: January 27, 2009, 07:00:52 PM »

Is it weird to have this combo? It seems strange that someone would order deluxe interior and then not get any gauges or console. Mine seems to be originally configured this way. Can anyone post what a no console looks like? I Mostly all I see is console cars and I wanted to see the interior on a non console car. Anyone?

My car is a project so I am just disovering things here and there. Can someone tell me what this knob does? It doesn't feel like it is connected. I pulled it part of the way out and there is an arm on it. Thanks for your help.

Decoding/Numbers / What is the last date code for 1968 Z/28 in December 1967?

« on: January 26, 2009, 04:44:33 AM »

My car has a 12D build date. Is there a 12E code for that month? Plus, who has the last Tuxedo black Z/28 in the registry? I believe mine is one of the last ones built, just curious. I read that Tuxedo black Z/28's stopped on January 1, 1968.

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

« on: January 25, 2009, 03:13:36 PM »

Ok, This has been bugging me for a long time and I have to start this post. Let me explain what I have in my books. Ok we know this:

The 350 was first introduced in 1967 in the Camaro. The engine block casting was 3892657 and according to my book was 1967 only and was used on 302, 327, and 350.

In 1967 the Z/28 302 was a one year only small journal crankshaft and very rare.

In 1968 they changed the Z/28 302 to the large journal crankshaft and used a different engine block as well, casting 3914678.

In 1967 the 350 was introduced and the crankshaft was a large journal. This again was a one year crankshaft and all were forged steel. Also, noted that this was the only large journal crankshaft offered in 1967.

So, how did they put this large journal crankshaft in the very same block casting number that is a small journal block? Did they just machine the block and main caps to accomodate the large journal crankshaft?

General Discussion / Dumb Question about a Cowl Trim Tag For Sale

« on: January 25, 2009, 02:55:07 AM »

Why would anyone pay $1200 for this trim tag? Even if you had a car with no tag and put this on, wouldn't that be fraud? I realize the VIN is not on this tag but it seems like a bad thing to do. Any thoughts?
