Originality / Yellow Decal
« on: May 03, 2011, 01:34:07 AM »
As I was thumbing through Rick's Camaro's catalog I came across a part number SBD-69,  Steering box oval yellow decal...So here is my question.  Where does this go on the steering box ? I can't say that I have ever seen this on a 69 steering box before...Would this be for a standard camaro, SS, RS, or Z28 or all of the before mentioned..

I spoke to this guys some time back when I was looking for a car ( I forget his name though). Based on the history of the car and what  he told me about the car I felt he was being honest...He did not seem to beat around any question asked of him...It is an original Z28 as listed from our conversation...I even think he knew the original...I felt just a little to much money for a survivor car that's not all put  together...Again just MTC..

MTC- Make sure that what ever cam you go with that the 302 heads will flow enough air based on the cam lift you buy..Otherwise it might be a waste of time and money, unless you are just looking for is sound and not performace..

You can also give CC or Howard's Cams a call and let them provide you with some guidance..Also, bear in mind, if you go with too much lift and duration to get the sound that you are looking for, it might create another problem by pulling pressed in rocker studs out....

I sent the part number to Walker earlier in the week and their reply said the part numbers on the pipes do not match anything in their inventory records.....

Good luck in your search. I hope you find your car.. I know my search is like looking for a needle dropped in the middle of the Atlantic ocean...But one thing I can say about classic cars, is that you do meet a lot of nice people...Yes, I have encountered a few jerks along the way (heck I might even be one of them to some people) but all in all the folks that work to restore cars can be the most helpful people when you really need help in finding something...

This site has already been helpful in finding 9N606512..I never thought I would have found this motor when I started looking at the car I just bought. But guess what, I did and it was here on CRG.

So here's the story...

Car # 1 9N606612 was originally sold in the York PA. area many years ago and the current owner of car # 1 bought it without a motor...The owner looked for the original motor but to no avail..

Car # 2 9N606512 was originally sold in Lenoir NC and was sold to the third owner in 2008 without a motor as well..However, the motor for car 2 was posted and sold on e-bay. The motor from car # 2 was bought by car # 1 owner since it was built during the same week as car # 2..

In my communication to the owner of car # 1 he said that he did not want to sell the motor which is now in car # 1. The challenge to me was, if you can find the original motor 9N606612 then car owner # 1would consider trading motor 9N606512 so both cars would have the correct match # motors ...I am now the fourth owner of car # 2. So I'm thinking with the internet and sites like this one lets see where this gets me...

Both cars 1 and 2 are restored cars but what a story it would be if both the original motors could be returned to the correct vehicle.
I hope this helps to clear up this story somewhat and what I'm trying to accomplish ....

I have been given a challenge to see if I can find the where abouts of a 1969 Z/28 motor. Wow !!! What a challenge..With the knowledge of this site someone must know the where abouts of this motor...The motor was removed from the car many years ago. It could be stored in someones garage, in a car or even in the cast iron gave yard..A starting point would be that the car was originally from York Pa and the motor was removed while the car was still in the York PA area the best we know...If you know the where abouts of this motor from an 02D please chime in...

What was the factory compression ratio on a 1969 302, 10:01 or 11:01?

Thanks for your help on this..This trailer has a curved nose on it, so I think it will be OK..I found out today that the 1969 camaro is about 16 ft. long which will work great for my application...

Will a 1967 thru 69 Camaro fit in a 20' Haulmark enlosed trailer with a (PS) side door..I have a limited turn around area in my driveway and anything much bigger then this and  I want be able to turn it around to unload it or will my trunk be able to pull it...Its tight right now with my 20' open top trailer, but my little 63 Nova SS does not take up all that much of a foot print on the trialer....I'm gussing it will fit but would like a second opinion...

Decoding/Numbers / Helping a Guy Out
« on: February 17, 2011, 11:55:04 PM »
I went to see a guy today that has a 1969 Z28 Vin.# 12437N663446 with the following cowl tag info..
Trim 711
06B 
12437NOR357740
code 52-52

This is all the all the info I could find on the car without putting it on a lift. It looks like the motor as either been replaced or the block decked..The partial vin # and build dates are gone..

He bought this car from someone that had lived in Rockwell Texas..Anyone knowing anything about this car my friend would like to know...I looked at this car because we said he wanted sell it so I thought I would check it out...The body of the car looks to be in great shape and the paint is very nice as well, it would be a great car if anyone is looking.  This car would clean up very nicely and could be a daily driver.  He belives it to have a 3:73...The car is now painted a British Green (I think) with Black Interior which is in great shape..If you want his contact info just let me know...
