68 engine compartment detailing
« on: May 28, 2019, 05:34:27 PM »
I am a new member of the CRG and am extremely impressed with your site! I am working on the engine compartment of my 68 SS and would appreciate detail photos of wiring harness on DS inner fender, clips, ties etc and wiring on the PS of the radiator support.  There seems to be a clip on the lower right corner of the heater box that I cannot find, any suggestions?  Lastly, is there a compilation of all of the bolts and screw in the engine compartment, configuration, pointed or blunt, head markings etc.  seems I have quite a variety on my car.  Thanks.

Getting a 68 Camaro AIM is very handy and will address alot of the search for the hardware, and you can cross that with AMK products to find reproduction hardware. Or PM me and I can give you a contact of a gent that sells a lot of original hardware for Camaros, if that is what you are seeking. And hard to find clips as well. Welcome to the site BTW, I'm relatively new as well and everyone has been great and extremely helpful.

 9420152-409 Radio Ground strap (68 AIM page 409) from body to sub-frame utilizes screw 9420152 and it was zinc. The screw is a self-tapping, 1/4-20 x 1/2", with indented head. Our originals were 'E' and can be purchased @corvette Central #192117 (2 for $2). Paragon offers the same screw with "RBW" #11189K, 7 screws for $5.00. 1967/8 Corvettes used this screw for radio ground straps and the front crossover brake line clip. AMK does not offer this screw!

Big thanks for all of the tips and information!  I am finally at the point of finishing up some things but am still stumped by the starter wire clip on the lower right (as viewed from the front) heater box cover stud.  I did go thru the AIM but have found a conflict.  Page I/M2 (page 52 in my book) shows a "J" clip, but sheet 12/A11 (page 158) shows a more complex configuration.  This clip was snugged up on my wire too far away to be installed on the stud and the configuration appears the same except it is a mirror image.  Additionally, my wire has been wrapped with what appears to be some type of heat insulating tape, is this original?  A photo would be great but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help

Going of Memory, The Insulated Wire "J" Clip associated with the Heater Box Stud is Used to route the Blower Orange wire outboard towards the Motor located up in the Fender on the firewall blower duct. Starter wire routing is via a different clip under a bellhousing to trans bolt at the rear of the block.

OH!
So

Page UPC1/M2 Sheet 52 Routing is for the Base ENg. L6/6Cyl configuration.
Page UPC12/A11 Sheet 158 Routing is for the Optional Eng, V8/8cyl configuration.

By your Initial Post and description you have a 68 SS (350 or 396) either Way your Clip (Was part of the Engine Assy) & routes per UPC12/A11 Sheet 158.

Guys am I tracking this right?

I'd say the J clip shown on pg  52  (68AIM) was used on both L6 and V8 base model (engine) cars. Probably SS and Z/28 as well ? The bellhousing clip shown on page 158 is unique and totally different than a J clip. I was thinking both clips were used for the starter motor harness...

If it helps, my '68 327  used a j-clip

So Both L6/V8 use the UPC1 heater box clip, just the V8 harness needs routing thru the transmission clip to keep it off the V8 exhaust area for heat-damage protections.

Here is a snap shot of the clip called for UPC 12 /A11

Great photo, my clip is similar to that one but the 'wire clip' configuration portion is different.  Guess I will put it in in a way that it keeps the wire away form the exhaust manifold.

Thanks to all for your help!

Thanks again, there seems to be photo evidence of both types of clips and inside or outside the heater hoses, could this be a "where built" situation?  My 68 is an NOR.
