Originality / 1969 SS tire pressure sticker

« on: June 29, 2020, 09:10:47 PM »

I've done some research to determine that "DW" 3961733 should be the correct tire pressure decal for a 1969 SS Camaro. To throw a fly into the ointment a friends 05C 69 ss396 Camaro has "AO" sticker. Original to that car with only 12k original miles, un-restored. Can somebody please tell me what I should have for a 08/28/1969 built 69 ss396? Thank you, Joe

Does a RH accessory rear view mirror have a different casting number on the base than the LH mirror, or what makes it a LH or RH? I don't want to put the wrong mirror back on my car. Thank you, Joe

Originality / Seat back differences for 1969

« on: February 05, 2020, 01:01:13 AM »

Did they change the design of the front seat back in later 1969. Mine has a heavy metal plate that makes the contact with the rubber seat stop? I see that some had a phillips head screw about the size of a quarter that makes that contact....Joe

I just got a couple of new harness for my 69. The color on the wires don't match the originals. Is this a common practice with them? I ordered the starter feed harness & the kickdown harness for my 1969 396. Thank you, Joe

Originality / Painted or not painted

« on: September 05, 2019, 08:31:48 PM »

I have 3 bracket/clips on the engine I don't know if they had paint or not. They have paint now because that's what I did in 1982. Car is a 1969 ss396 325hp.

1) bracket that holds transmission cooler lines to pan rail.
2) bracket that holds battery cable to pan rail
3) bracket that holds plug wires to LH lower valve cover bolt. Valve covers are chrome.
    Bracket designed to divert plug wires from a/c compressor.

Thank you, Joe
