1969 big block a/c
« on: March 01, 2010, 09:23:21 PM »
In the 1969 assm manual for C-60 with a 396 there is a baffle shown that looks like it goes from the core support to the subframe. Does anybody know if this baffle actually existed? Thanks, Joe

Only seen one, not sure if its original to the car or not.  Beleive it belongs to a guy who posts on Camaros.net as markx22, and he rebuilt this one.

I'm guessing it's probably nothing anyone is going to jump on the band wagon & reproduce?....Joe

Wow, that's one of the few confirmations I've heard that it was even on a car! I've only heard about 3 or 4 of these over the years......

I would think not; the fact that almost nobody has ever seen one says the potential volume isn't there to pay for the tooling.
