My New '68 Camaro Z/28 Butternut Yellow

[jeff68]

Here is some of the correct batch that I found. Will be on the look-out for more.. D

I have four MICRO 1 "winged" weights just as you pictured.  1 is mint, 1 has a small hammer ding in the middle, and 2 only have minor squishing of the text in a spot.
As long as you are going to use them yourself, or "pay it forward" to the next guy, then PM me and we'll work out how to get them to you.

Danny you have a good thing going here...
maybe I talk you into sending me the ones you don't use...

[dannystarr]

Jeff, I appreciate that, but let's hold off for right now, as it looks like I may be scoring a big pile next week that are all pretty nice.
Bullitman are these correct for your car ? Here are some pictures of the weights I picked from the pile... Danny

[dannystarr]

cherry picking as I have to PAY for these..    D

[BULLITT65]

thats a huge collection Danny. How much does he charge per weight?
Yes I think they would be correct for my car. My original spare still has these weights on it. I have the original wheels on my car with some Goodyear Wide treads that are balanced. I was thinking of trying to find similar weights and swap them out by hammering them on in the same spots?

Hey Jeff I would still be interested in what you have since I am just starting out here...

So far my wheels currently have .75 left front , and .75 left rear, and then .75 right rear , and a 2.75 right rear. Not sure they make them that big?
These were all the outside of the wheels, I still have to look at the inside of them. I may need to rebalance that right rear and see if I can move the tire and get it to balance with a smaller weight.

One other thing I thought of were they using a high speed balancer back then or bubble balancer? (May be a question for JohnZ)

That's fine with me, as long as Danny doesn't want them. 

Also, if you guys are going as far as having the correct wheel weights, do you have the correct T-3 headlights?

[BULLITT65]

yes I have the originals with the red ink stamping on the back side. Surprised they would have lasted this long and 47k miles and still work. Could always use a spare though.

[cook_dw]

I have 1 but I need another for my 68 T3 that is..     Does it work?

[jeff68]

Well, Danny got the last of my used T-3 headlights (he always seems to be one step ahead).  I have a NOS pair still in the Guide boxes, but want them to stay as a pair.  Send me a PM if you need more info on them.

[dannystarr]

Jeff plugged me in big time on a set of T-3's. I have 2 others that are OK, and not showing any clouding. But NO way even close in condition to the one's I got from him. And yes, go ahead and give those to the bullittman.

I am going to do a count soon on my MICRO's, once I take delivery. I think I may be done searching. As far as the guy I am purchasing from, he will be listing those other's {not squared in the pictures} on eBay soon. I just don't want any gouged one's, so I cherry picked. Also, as of tonight, I will have 10 " M.25 " ... Which in my search are kinda scare. And all 10 in VERY nice condition.

Bullittman, once I get the new good year wide tread GT's mounted and balanced I will pay ya forward some extra's. I will sell the rest to friends or online to help finance my MCACN trip! But I have to check stock on M.75's.

FYI, I was taught by a CRG member that any tire that was needing more than 2.50 ounces during assembly line mounting, was removed, spun around, and rebalanced. Maybe JohnZ can confirm.

Cook, let me dig out and plug in those other two I have and see what happens. I will leave them on for a few minutes and find out. Gotta find out some day right..

I still need to check for original wheel cylinders for a member at my buddies tow yard. And also another YH wheel date. I have not forgotten. LOT'S going on as we all know. .. Danny

The limit that required re-orienting was 5 ounces - see your A.I.M., UPC 10, sheet A1.

[dannystarr]

WHOOPS, I guess I got that wrong..    D

[dannystarr]

Put the car on the lift at my friends shop for some work. Changed oil and filter. Trans fluid, fluid was brown/dirty/ugly. Pulled differential cover, took pictures, added the non sulphur GL-4 and Chevy posi additive. Ring and pinion both dated May of '68. WOW it is HARD to take pictures of the pinion while in the car!!
Adjusted the Muncie linkage. WHAT a difference it made. Was worth the 2 hours of awkward labor. Greased all fittings including Z bar.  Danny

[dannystarr]

I guess that 41 and 11 are numbers of teeth. Cause when I divided them it came up 3.72727272729, for 3.73...   There was some very faint numbers on another part of the ring gear. Hard to make out, looks like an 11, 9, 4, 68.. D
