What should I do? The needle is broken on my Tic Toc Tach on my 1968 z28, replacing the tach with a reproduction is the last thing I want to do. I would rather repair my original. All input, experiences and advise will be appreciated.

Originality / Need help identifying distributor shaft for 1111467 distributor

« on: August 04, 2012, 10:33:07 PM »

Hey Guys I'm trying to put my 1111467 distributor back original I have a 532 points cam but I need to know which shaft was correct and what number it would have stamped on it or other identifying markings.
Also I have numerous centrifical weights how do you identify the correct ones for  the z28 shaft, points cam combination. According to gmwiki.com sbc used several different numbers, all the ones I have seem to all have the same profile. Were there different profiles or different weights?

Originality / I need help with my 1111467 8a3 Distributor 1968 z28

« on: July 23, 2012, 10:56:22 PM »

My distributor has the wrong shaft, cam and probably the springs and weights as well. with the parts being so hard to find what are my options?
Modify parts? Get reproductions? Try to find used? ha The shaft in it is a 786w the cam is a 728. I also have a 119w shaft and a 536 cam.
What is the optimal set up for street use in regards to advance curve and the vacuum advance.
Thanks in advance for the wisdom of the masses

General Discussion / Why do 68 z28s bring less than 69s even though 68s are much more rare?

« on: February 26, 2012, 07:22:07 PM »

Beware this post is somewhat of a rant ...........
Even though 68 zs  are much more rare, they rarely bring the money of the 69s, WHY?
Is it because of GM not coding it on the cowl tag?
Or is because people like the 69 body better?
The 67 and 68z shared basically the same body, 67 z28s bring super money because of their  rarity,
Will the 68 z ever get the appreciation it deserves?
Just wanted to see other opinions

General Discussion / N40 steering Box

« on: February 10, 2012, 10:30:56 PM »

RE N40 steering Box on a z28
Anybody know with the box off the car or steering not attached, how many turns of the steering wheel shaft lock to lock, I am assuming that with it connected it would be less since the spindles would hit the stops.
Would it also be different with z28 short knuckle arms and long pitman arm.
Bottom line I am trying to find (identify) a fast ratio box for a 68 z28
Thanks In advance
