For the 60 or so that read this, I ended up taking the dash pad off to get to the bulb. Not fub since my car has factory a/c. Thanks for looking....Joe

Maintenance / 1969 clock light bulb

Anybody have a trick for changing the bulb in the clock for a 69? Easiest way would've been when I had the dash pad off. Thank you, Joe

They go to the inside edge of the frame pod. There's a bracket they both go through N40 A9 is a fair picture but not great...Joe

Decoding/Numbers / Re: VN built 69 Camaro with a Firebird VIN on the transmission?

« on: June 19, 2021, 04:01:53 AM »

Well, the surfer dudes who built my car must have been smoking something, because they put the wrong seat and decklid sticker on it too.  There are a couple of pretty experienced Camaro collectors who know the car.  I am not saying that somewhere along the way someone didn't swap some things out.  But it would come as quite a surprise to me, considering the car's history.

You should post some pictures for us....Joe

Thanks X66 for that link, great discussion there. I walked away with the knowledge that some original GM had the groove, some didn't per examples of guys with original untouched cars. I love this site! Thanks a lot.

You're welcome....Joe

General Discussion / Power steering pitman arm nut

« on: June 16, 2021, 08:15:35 PM »

Owning a late 1969 Camaro you relize several things don't fit into "normal".

Aquired a 227 pitman arm from another box today. The box I took the arm from is dated 121 9 & the socket size was 1-5/16

My box is dated 011839 & the socket size is 1-9/32

Anybody else run into this?

Thank you, Hoe

Yes; a few 'C' prefix 396/402 engines were used in production starting late August '69.

Thanks William. That's where my car is, Aug 28,1969. Hawk X66 has one also...Joe
