There were optional hood lights for all 3 years.

For the hood report, still in progress, we need some original under hood light detailed photos. If possible try to show the back part of the hood and the light, plus close up pics of the light.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bryon, I hope this helps. I took it off my 69 camaro 40 years ago.

That appears to be an original light and thank you for posting. Unfortunately for the report we are ideally looking for one on the car, and one that looks pretty new with no corrosion. Hard to come by I know, otherwise we would have already had one.

This all I have from Lees car. 67 unrestored.

68L30……your picture is about as focused as mine.

68L30 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 07, 2023, 09:55:45 AM »

Yep… not the focal point of the photo. Tried blowing up an existing pic.

Steve, this pic and the one of the box might be clear enough to put in the article. Would it be possible to send the full file size photos to my email? I will message you direct with my email address.

Thank you all.

Still looking for the 67 light with bulb and wiring attached.

If you want them, I can post up a couple good photos from an old eBay auction, of a NOS over the counter 987028, which is listed in the August 1966 P&A Catalog for Camaro, and all other Chevrolet models. It has the single mounting hole, stepped bracket, and long wiring. I've no idea what the difference is, if any, between it and the 3903402 "Lamp Assembly" listed in the AIM.

Still looking for pics of the 1967 version.

Bryon, I have a '67 RS/SS that has the underhood light installed with a bulb and the wiring in place. My car has been restored, but there is no reason I know of why it should look any different than what it would have looked like originally. Let me know if you would like me to send you some photos.

bcmiller · « **Reply #20 on:** December 13, 2023, 12:38:36 AM »

Yes please send them. I will send you a PM.

I find it interesting the 180 degree flip from 67 to 68.

bcmiller · « **Reply #25 on:** December 14, 2023, 03:32:00 AM »

Thanks Jeff. I took one of yours an modified it a bit. This one should work for 1967 SBC.

Pacecarjeff · « **Reply #26 on:** December 14, 2023, 03:34:25 PM »

Looks good. Remember, the lamp is always mounted on the same side as the dipstick...

bcmiller · « **Reply #27 on:** December 14, 2023, 03:49:55 PM »

Jeff, correct. We knew that before we started writing the report.

I sent you a PM.

Petes L48 · « **Reply #28 on:** December 14, 2023, 04:32:57 PM »

So it appears the 67 AIM illustration for cars with hood insulation - Sheet A2 - with the wiring shown on top of the insulation and using two of the insulation plastic clips to hold the excess wiring, was not followed. Also the metal wiring clip at the light is in a different location - bracket versus the bulb shield. It will be interesting to see if there was any difference between NOR and LOS cars.

VINCE Z28 · « **Reply #29 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:20:41 PM »

NOS one on ebay.

bcmiller · « **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2023, 06:17:49 PM »

Thanks Vince. I contacted the seller and received permission to use one of their photos.

It’s not the same part number - so I need to verify it’s the same.

bcmiller · « **Reply #31 on:** December 17, 2023, 09:57:22 PM »

The eBay one is not the same, later service replacement.

bcmiller · « **Reply #32 on:** December 17, 2023, 11:41:32 PM »

Pics for the 68/69 light are finished.

Still need a picture of the 67 light in the box, NOS. I think I know where to find one.

CantRepeat · « **Reply #33 on:** December 18, 2023, 12:05:07 PM »

Found this on the web. Grummy's 67.

Petes L48 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 18, 2023, 06:54:03 PM »

Not the 3903402 light assembly listed in the 67 AIM, but this is the 987028 shown in the late 1966 P&A for all Chevrolet models, and possibly exclusive for that year.

Yes I found that several years back. Big block car that went through the tech center for the L78.

Light is in the SBC location.
