I should’ve bought more too. I know what you mean. I would like to see a picture of your 68Z and 69SS396. I bought a 1968 a couple of years after buying my 69. I wanted to buy a 67 to have one of all 3 years but never did and my 68 I sold many years ago.

Here's the Z

The only stupid question is the one that is never asked. There is a left & right. There is a notch for the bracket that supports the brake cable....Joe

I bought a 68 z/28 in 1976 for 850.00 & a 69 ss396 in 1981 for 1400.00. Should've bought more. Still have both...Joe

Not that's it's a 69. It's actually a 68 Z, it has 12 67 wheels on a March 13th built car. Just for possible comparison...Joe

Should be the 30cc. Try to get an original Holley if possible.....Joe

All 69 Camaros had the spacing between the drip rail & the top if it came from the factory as a vinyl top car...Joe

Not sure who's creating busy work here, JOE...I'm looking in my 68AIM, U63 A4 (pg406) and there's no mention of alternate locations or C60, period. Are you referring to the 69AIM in your original post ??

I really blew this post. So sorry guys. Yes I am talking 1969....Joe

Any 69 Camaro with a/c will have the same controls. The LH slide is the cable that opens & closes the door for the heater. If the slide won't go all the way up, there's a good chance you could have something stuck inside the box that's keeping the door from closing....Joe

My 68 is also on the side of the regulator. I haven't looked in AIM for it. I had a discussion with somebody off line & he thought the engineer was creating busy work

I'm sorry you guys can't see what I'm thinking I should've said it's the one on the voltage regulator. Thanks again, Joe

On U63 A4 In AIM it says the 1964086 capacitor goes in a different location if the car has C60. Anybody have a guess why this is so? Nothing of the a/c system is different there. Thank you, Joe

Joe:  Please don't take offense at my 'big block' jokes (see the smiley?)..     I've never been a fan of big/heavy engines, thus I like to 'poke' at you folks a little..
You can allocate my BB comments to 'cid envy? or weight envy' if you like..

It sounds like the Japanese company that owns/owned Pilkington has decided to get out of that business.   Does anyone know if they have SOLD that portion of their business to another company, Or simply decided to stop the custom labeling and maybe license the LOF rights? (to Auto City or ECS or ??) .. or maybe to both those and more...

PS.  AutoCity sells most of the glass for TriFive Chevy enthusiasts ('55-57 Chevy/GM) which was LOF glass originally, and AutoCity also custom date codes the glass.

I knew you were kidding around. Just had to through it back at you I have one of each, big & small block. I like driving the big block car. It handles well even with the extra weight. My 68 still has a 302 & is also fun to drive especially since it left the factory with 4.56 gears.
It was my understanding that Pilkington lost the license to do the LOF. They're still in the glass business...Joe

Tim,

I didn't know that as I seldom visit the Yenko site (I don't own a Yenko)..   or even a BaldwinMotion...   ..  in fact, I've never even wanted one.. (big blocks make great boat anchors!)..    Now a Yenko Nova with LT1 engine would be OK...

I'm sorry to hear that Pilkington Classics *may* be out of business; does anyone know that for sure by contacting them?   I thought Bill? or someone here had bought from them fairly recently?

If you read through the entire post, I had quite a lot of information on what had happened & what I had to do for my "boat anchor" car, as you call them....Joe

Could've been a dealer trade. The NCRS report only show which dealer the car was sold to....Joe
