Attached is the proper wiring and wire colors for an 8 track, 69 with console mount and AM radio.The wiring with FM radio is very close to this.

I've asked for pics of the engine bay. This was the only pic with that discussion on facebook.

If you've ever lifted a space saver, you know that lady is not carrying one in a hat box...

Yes grey is correct. A black one is for later years. Here's a fun picture, I don't remember where I found it.

I was doing some research on my spacesaver, and came across this thread while comparing my inflator and wheel. The 69 camaro AIM N-65 A1 shows two part numbers for the inflator assembly, 9793469 and also 9793470 beside which it has RPO L34 L35 L46 L48 L78 PW7 and PW8. So both inflator cans are correct for the 69. I believe the difference can be seen on the label itself which identifies the tire size, where 9793469 is for the 7.35 X 14 tire...and the 9793470 is for the 7.75 x 14 tire.

I have an HI space saver with a 7.35 x 14 tire, which I sadly have discovered with this research is incorrect for my L48. And the canister is part 486506 for an E78 X 14, which I don't understand and I don't find it in the AIM.

Thanks - Andy

Thank you William for the excellent information. The sharing of knowledge in this forum is how I learned everything factual about first gens, far better than the half dozen camaro books in my house. Facebook has become such a crazy pool of misinformation, I wish folks would do their research here.

Is this anecdotal, or is there any evidence of options paired with Z28? I know it was a popular appearance option in the late 60s.

General Discussion / Z/28s and vinyl roof option

« on: October 09, 2020, 04:31:46 PM »

I miss this group, the amount of misinformation spread in the camaro forums on facebook drives me nuts. I just saw a poster state that he knew a Z/28 was not real because the car for sale had a vinyl top, and most Z/28s did not have vinyl. Is there any evidence to support this? Other than a weight conscious buyer that wants to spare those few lbs on the roof for performance?

I'll be visiting more often, for my sanity. Picture, finished project, unrelated to this post.

Decoding/Numbers / Re: PoP decode of muncie

« on: September 23, 2019, 12:38:06 AM »

The stamp on the transmission has the suffix. But when reading the pop decode page, it mentions the suffix, and the pop does not have a suffix. Again, its a very small detail.

     1969 Muncie 4-speed only:
          A = M20
          B = M21     Use of the Muncie type suffix
          C = M22     began with 21 Oct 68 production

Pigeon Forge Rod Run. I've heard lots of whispers about car thefts each year. I went last year, and paid to park my camaro in the car show lot which has an overnight guard.

Decoding/Numbers / PoP decode of muncie

« on: September 20, 2019, 02:51:30 PM »

I haven't been here for awhile, but a discussion on FB brought me back to decode my PoP again on a different topic.

My PoP has a transmission code of P9R31, which is a muncie 4speed October 31 without the suffix. This is an incredibly small detail, but the comment in the decode says suffix began the week earlier.

       1969 Muncie 4-speed only:
          A = M20
          B = M21     Use of the Muncie type suffix
          C = M22     began with 21 Oct 68 production.

I tried to find this info or any pics last year. Attached is a firebird diagram. I took the wires down the passenger side but used the clips on the package tray as seen in this diagram.

I wish he would paint the grill surround, it just bugs me. I'm interested to learn if this group thinks this is priced well, any strong opinions?

General Discussion / Re: 1969 space saver spare hook mount location?

« on: January 13, 2018, 02:28:09 PM »

I'm a little disappointed Austin, I was waiting for you to flag the jack straps as incorrect for the N65...

For those that don't know the story about this tach, it was on the car when I bought it 15 yrs ago. I thought it was just junk, so I tore it out and threw it away - leaving screw holes in my dash carrier where the tach was mounted. After a few years I started to really get interested in originality, and discovered this tach was a 69 dealer accessory. So I had to buy another one to replace the one I threw in the trash. Well 3 actually, just so I could make a working whole one. Most expensive piece of junk ever, its pretty much useless. But it does light up and the needle moves.
