6-cylinder Camaros / Re: Keeping it original

« on: February 01, 2024, 01:49:33 PM »

Appreciate all the comments but I just don’t care for column shift.

Dare to be different!! There are many of us who really like a 3-speed column shifted vehicle, and it's one feature that is rarely seen any more.

Great thief deterrent. There's many that wouldn't know how to shift it

67/68 have a threaded mast. 69 has no threads on the mast. Mast in 69 was retained by a nut.....Joe

Doc. The screw you need looks alot like B-13230 except no washer & it's 1.710 inches of thread. No markings on the head. I didn't see anything like it in AMK. My hangers are stamped for that type screw. The other set I have are stamped for using a bolt & nut. Both are assm line originals....Joe

I don't agree with that. I believe that several vendors were used. If the hole strips out the nut & bolt won't lay flat on the bracket. The 1st picture is a 12k survivor 375hp that was judged 3 years ago at MCACN. This is a Norwood car built 05A. The next picture is my ss396 which has 157k miles. Built in Norwood 08E 1969....Joe

Doc. I just took a quick look at my original exhaust 69 ss396 & it has the bolts as you decribe. I can get those specs tomorrow. Interesting though. I have a pair of original tail pipes out there that still have those hangers & they have the nut & bolt combo.
I just found a picture of the 12k ss396 that Guy had. It's has nut & bolt. His car & the 2 pipes I have are non chrome tail pipes. Mine has chrome...Joe

Originality / Re: Fuel Pump original?

« on: January 22, 2024, 11:51:20 AM »

It was some company's replacement but not assm line original. What you're looking for will have the AC logo & the flange will have a 2 letter code followed by 40568. Yours should have an "H" as the second letter indicating the pump was built in 1968 for a 1969 car. That pump is getting harder to find but if you get lucky enough to find a core, it can be rebuilt by Fred Ballard in California....Joe

I have done research on these pumps. The 40568 was made from 8/1967 through 9/1969 & used on all 396 engines. The earliest 40727 I ever found was 11/1969 & it was original to a 1/70 LS6 Chevelle. I still watch on a daily basis to see what else I can add to my research....Joe

Not original. Should be a 40568 AC. What is the assm date of your engine?....Joe

Somewhere in it's life somebody has been inside the engine. It was still standard but has one replacement piston & non GM bearings. Also, the cam bearings were installed incorrectly. Sadly, nothing remained standard...Joe
