Here's a few shots of inside the rim on 67 DG wheels.  You can see the year and a digit for what I assume is the month.  The stamp is usually near a ridge and hard to see or partial.  I've not seen any with 66 for the year, so maybe the earlier ones didn't have a date code?  It seems the earlier wheels have the DG stamp to the left of the valve stem hole as you look from the center of the wheel out to the edge.  The ones I found with date stamps had the DG to the right of the hole.

April 1967 stamp?



February 1967 stamp?



Indeterminate month 1967 stamp

If you're looking at the AIM, UPC 6 Sheet B3, the V8 starters they list on the diagram and in the revision record section are for a base 327.  These are the 7320 and 7496 you listed.

If you look at the UPC L48 Sheet A2 "V8 Engine 350 Non-Illustrated Parts", it lists a starting motor, and also tells you to see a parts list or bill of materials for the part number.  I don't think this documentation exists any longer.  From what I've read, it seems many think the 8338 is correct.  In Parts Catalogue No. 731A December 1972 it lists 1108338 as the correct starter for a 67 350, also used in 68 and 69, with the 1108400 being the service part number.

Looking at all the parts books can get confusing, I've seen instances where it looks like the 1107365 is listed for the 67 350 and 396 but maybe I'm reading it wrong

Kurt was asking for information on known factory starters back in March, so there may be a research report in the works.

I'll have access to five or six DG rims over Labor Day, I'll take some pics.

The AMK is no longer available, been that status for a long time.

Here's a "close but no cigar" 7/16 j-nut set on eBay.  Seems no one makes these in 1/2-13 any longer:

I have a set of 67 DG rally's. They have no date code that I can find. I heard these were good for that reason.
( No date code).
They are 14 x 6
Any info on them would be helpful.
Thanks.
TRC

There is no date code by the valve stem hole as the later wheels have.  There is a stamp on the "inside" wall of the wheel that cannot be seen once the tire is mounted, which I believe indicates the month and year, but I can't recall the exact format.  May be a letter for the month, thought I had a picture but didn't find one.

Yeah, that 1/2 sounds closer to the size I remember.  3/8 seemed a little small for a bumper bracket bolt.  You'll most likely have to some up with an alternative.

You may have seen this, your car info may be desired to add to their research data.  November-December was thought to be the timeframe for the mixed usage of subframe components - same time they were switching over to frames with the holes.  My 11/15 build LOS has no holes.

Here's an old thread, I don't believe AMK had the correct one, nor do I think any of the big parts vendors carry them.  Not enough early 67s around to warrant the cost of reproducing I would assume.

You'll most likely have to come up with some substitution.  It's one of those parts made of Unobtainium.

Got a reply back on my order 1096 today, saying no information on VIN 124677L117xxx    Anyone else have a problem with early 67 LOS documents?

Today I received an email from Marilyn Heitzman, stating that an error was made and they do have info on my car!  Not sure how they discovered this, unless the "no hits" were being re-looked, but this news made my day.  A credit had already been issued so I'll place a new order tonight.

Today I got my report, about 2 1/2 weeks after reapplying.  I bought the car near Atlanta in 1985, no docs and original L48 gone.  I'll probably forego the K19 setup on my date correct engine and just go with K24.  The NCRS report was:

Production Date 11/15/66 (same date I guess-timated awhile back)
Dealer Code 241, Zone 6
John Geer Chevrolet
Sacramento, CA

Looks like in 1982 they were d/b/a Parkwood Chevrolet.  Long trip from CA to GA.  I'll have to start digging!

Probably just whenever the bought a new batch or changed vendors.  I seem to recall they usually just put them on the rear plate, so the guy behind you at the traffic light would see who sold it.  If you use two, seems you would want them to match.

Documentation I have shows the orig. owner wanted this option on the car but it had to be installed at dealer.

Is the car originally a SBC with Powerglide?  With so few made, I imagine they could have also run into parts supply issues throughout the year.  Maybe one of our experts will chime in.  If you can post any documentation it may help.

I don't see anything in the 67 AIM or the CRG RPO spreadsheet indicating it was not available from the factory until mid year.  Required a small block and powerglide for factory.  I've seen old threads here or at Team Camaro saying the dealer could order some sort of adapter to also install cruise on manual cars.

I'd try contacting any Chambers of Commerce in that area or town websites, ask them about any old dealership or give them that street address in the dealer database.  Those comments in the dealer database may be old.  Here's an old thread showing what paperwork they might have been referring to
