Bullitt,
Thanks for the clarification on the stamps, which is why I asked in the first place. So no R or F stamps for me. But I never saw an F stamp on any car, just the R. I’ve heard about F and saw it for sale, so again just curious. Maybe I should get the entire alphabet…………..

And yes, every book has its merits and some bit of misinformation. But I believe the authors did their best with what they had at the time of publication; therefore I see no reason to bash their efforts.

No worries. I am not bashng their effort, only the explanation when something is pointed out, the authors many times seem to think they have the final say, and should not be questioned. Again a disclaimer to let readers or enthusiasts know that there were deviations and things are not as black and white as some of the books seem to make it out. The effort is genuine and it takes A LOT of time and energy to put together so much accurate info. I think the Camaro word is better off with the books out there, even if there is a small amount of error involved. I guess from those in the know a small bit of error is to be expected, just like when they built the cars... 😃

So how do I make a backwards P for my car or is that a poorly stamped B? See the previous page. I’m so confused. 🧐🫣🤔🤦‍♂️🫤

David, It looks like an upside down P to me.

Some had many others did not. Unless your car had it I would not worry about it.

Mine did….hence yes….I find it interesting that the consensus is there was no real “stamp it in this area” protocol or every car gets a stamp on both sides. I only remember 1 stamp but have never had the ac box off the wall. Wacky.
