Restoration / Oil line fitting

« on: March 23, 2010, 10:02:34 PM »

Needed to replace my mechanical oil pressure line and ran into the GM proprietary fittings.
Bought the nylon oil line with GM fittings from NPD as well as a new block fitting. No problem on the gauge end but the engine end is a different matter. My original GM fitting in the block is battered and will not seal. GM no longer has these block fittings. The block fitting from NPD is of the standard compression fitting type with a farrow.
What do folks do in this instance? I suppose one could simply cut the new nylon (plastic) line to remove the GM wedge shape swedge and brass insert and use the standard farrow type compression fitting. Or is there a source for the original GM block fittings? Thanks.

Sorry I couldn't post a jpeg. Couldn't get my resizer to work-it used to. I will work on that. I will repaint to a suede black.
Car spent two years in Kentucky, then 36 years in southern California, a year and a half in Oklahoma and the last several months here in Missouri.  No rust in this area at all!

On page 199 of Jerry's book he does state 711600 as the end of production at Norwood. But on page 201 of the same book he states production ended at Norwood " around 711700".  I was surprised also on the 11C date but the serial number seems to put it in the last day or so of production.

No it is a Norwood car built on either September 29th or 30th of 1969 (09E).

My corner (removable) mouldings definitely have yellow under the black. That is what led me to think the moulding should  be yellow.
Could not get my jpeg resized to send as an attachment. Will work on tha tlater.

You have a November 1969 build car. Production ended at the Norwood plant at about  #711700 for the Camaros.

Restoration / Package Tray Moulding Color

« on: March 16, 2010, 04:16:01 PM »

 Have a 69 Daytona Yellow Z28 with the yellow houndstooth interior. I removed the rear package tray and need to repaint the metal moulding around the rear and sides of the package tray. Currently painted a satin black. Sanding shows yellow beneath the black. I assume this moulding was originally painted body color?

Thanks for the response. I checked with  oldmusclecars.com. They had a 4 by 10 speaker but was generic in nature and they did not know the impedance.
Checked around and found  turnswitch.com in Minneapolis. They have a reproduction of the original Camaro center dash speaker for $50.00. Unfortunately they do not make the special mounting bracket so now I am hunting for that bracket.

My recently purchased 69 Z28 has a 309 master cylinder but it is stamped EA on the machined pad. Seems to operate okay but I am looking for the correct US stamped master cylinder.

Can someone recommend a source(s) for an original type center dash 10 ohm speaker for my 69 Camaro. It has the AM/FM mono radio in it but the speaker is gone. It is the U69 option code.

Thanks, Yes I did read that section before I posted my question. The last sentence of the CRG Report seems to indicate there may be an internal difference in the clutches to account for the RPM ranges of the various engines.
My question remains does anyone know if there are internal variations and if yes could the CH clutch still be used on a Z28 which had originally a CV stamped Eaton clutch.

General Discussion / Fan Clutch

« on: March 05, 2010, 04:18:55 PM »

Before I ask my question I did look up the available information on the CRG Reports on this subject and was educated somewhat.
I am looking for a fan clutch for my 69 Z28 which should be an Eaton with a CV stamping. I have located an Eaton clutch with a CH stamping presumably from an SS 69.
 Assuming the spacing from the water pump mounting surface to the fan mounting surface is the same or very close between the CV and CH clutches does anyone know the internal differences between these two clutches? Any idea if these differences would render the CH clutch non-usable for the Z28 application? Thanks.

Decoding/Numbers / 4053 carb

« on: February 28, 2010, 06:59:07 PM »

I have a List 4053 carb which was on my 69 Z28. I know it is not correct for the car. Fortunately I do have the correct one.
Just wondering what I have.
 It is PN 3923289 and is a List 4053. The date code is 3375.
Is this a service replacement? What is the date code? Third week of March 1975?
