I am finding this thread very interesting.  I am restoring the original air cleaner on my L48 / THM 350.  All that was left of the original sticker was an outline of where it was on the air cleaner.  Not even a hint of color. Hope this thread can tell me what color an 11D (Nov. 1968) L48 auto RS/SS 350 had from the factory. I now know I need a CO 6484584 sticker, now I just need verification on the color. Thanks for all the information so far.

Did you read John Z's technical article on ignition timing? Very informative.      http://www.camaros.org/pdf/timing101.pdf

The transmission was natural color (unpainted) from the assembly plant.

I am second owner of the 11D.  The car was never restored before I bought it in 1975 and had about 95% of it's original parts.  It has sat in my garage untouched until I started the restoration in January of 2010. The pictures in my post are of the sway bar as I received it and I am pretty certain factory original for the car.  BTW I labeled the pictures backwards, right is left and left is right....... whoops there goes the mind again  .

Steve, are the survivor cars you own all early cars? late cars? mid cars? or a mixture? is there a correlation between build date and if the hose had ribs or not? Thanks.

Marty,  I am looking for the sleeves and clamps on the inboard sides of the sway bar bushings and brackets. Thanks anyways 

Charley, I guess I was just looking for an easy way out (instead of restoring them).  What was the original finish on the clamps? Thanks.

My 1969 ragtop  is an 11D (early) car.  I am in the process of a complete subframe restoration.  Does anyone know a vendor that carries the sleeves and clamps (AIM UPC3  A5) for the sway bar that go just inboard of the sway bar bushings and brackets?  Here are a couple of pictures of my sway bar.  Thanks.

Sorry about that, I didn't read the description properly.  I should only talk about what I am familiar with.  My 68 327 convert. didn't have gauges and it had the single blade type switch.  My 69 350 convert has gauges and has the threaded post type sender.

I think Rock Auto may have what you are looking for ................................... maybe.

You're welcome Marty. That's the one.

Marty,
     Softseal also makes that gasket for $8.37.

Marty,

I worked for Chevrolet dealers as a line technician from 1971 to 1992.  As far as I can remember, I never saw a painted solenoid on an original 1967-1969 Camaro starter.  When rebuilding starters, the parts departments always supplied me Delco-Remy solenoids and they were always plated and had the Delco-Remy logo in the center of the end cap. Hope this helps.

Correct

My 1969 has a black top (B), white paint (50), red interior (718), and a red boot.  So my boot matches my interior.

Yes, the hoses for my 69 RS/SS look like the ones in the original post (of what I can see of them).  However, the eBay hoses are completely different from mine other than the rubber and lettering.  The ends are wrong, the crimps are wrong, and the front hoses have no rings for the control arm clamps.
