General Discussion / N34 steering wheel included in Z87 package for 1968 model?

« on: May 27, 2020, 02:22:23 PM »

Was the N34 "sports styled" steering wheel the same as the "deluxe steering wheel" that was included in the Z87 interior package?  Which one was the "wooden wheel" (plastic to look like wood)?  Thanks for any help.

This is the 12-67 rev. At least one earlier rev.

William, thanks so much!   Perfect.


Here is the form on one PDF, if anyone else would like a copy

That is not a factory order form. Looks like a dealer order form. 1967-1969 Camaro Fact Book has examples of factory order forms for each year

Is this the book:

Is there any ring grooves on the input shaft?

I only have the photo.

I think I know the answer to this question, but never hurts to ask.  Is there anyway to know if this is an M20 or an M21 from the attached photo?

I wonder if this is the one from GM?

Daily rates are very inconsistent the last month of production. I still don't understand your end goal. Are you trying to figure out what day your car was produced?

No, as stated before, I’m trying to find out the last production day of the 1968 model year, at the Norwood plant.  I know when my car was assembled.

Does anyone have an example of a 1968 dealer order form, that they can post?  Thanks for any help.

Why would you need that?

I’m trying to calculate the number of production days left of the model year from June 20, 1968.

Does anyone know the last day of production for the 1968 Camaro model year at the Norwood plant (and the VIN of the last car, if you know)?  Thanks for any help!

Originality / Re: Correct intake manifold for 1968 L35

« on: May 18, 2020, 02:45:56 PM »

That is the correct casting number for '66-'68 BB/Q-jet according to Chevrolet by the numbers. There is a slight machining difference on a '68; the mounting boss for the temp sending unit next to the thermostat mount was not drilled & tapped. For '68 sending unit moved to the cylinder head.

Got it - undrilled boss.  Thanks!!!

Originality / Correct intake manifold for 1968 L35

Can someone confirm that the correct intake manifold casting number for a 1968 L35 (325hp) is 3883948?  Thanks for any help.

No, the 1968 L35 was only available with the M20. As for determining what you have, without removing it from the car and counting the rings (or better yet, the teeth since the transmission could have been rebuilt at some point), there's no way to know for sure.

If the transmission is out of the car, then count the rings on the input shaft, or like I said above, the teeth.

Thanks so much!

As in the customer or the dealer?

It was up to the customer - he could order M20, M21 or M22. Although the 3.73 was the "standard" Z/28 axle if no other ratio was ordered, Chevrolet's AMA submission for the Z/28 option shows availability of the 3.55 as an "economy" option, the 4.10 as a "Performance" option, and the 3.07 as a "Special Order" option.

The 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10 were available with either M20, M21, or M22, but the 3.07 "Special Order" axle was only available with M20 (for obvious reasons).

Forgive me for following up on such on old post, but I thought it easier to show the thread history, than restate it all. So here is my question:

If I have an original 1968 “MW” coded L35 with an original transmission, was it possible to order this car with an M21 from the factory?

Also, is there any way to determine an M20 or M21 by just looking?!? Or perhaps a stamp somewhere?  Thanks?

That dealership is still around, and the picture is on their website

Interesting that their website no longer shows Camaros (or Corvettes)
