Thanks Chick!
08C '69 X33 D80 Sorry, I don't know original rear.
That's ok and thanks for the info.
Still looking for more examples. Thanks!
Guy's 375hp, M22 3.73, Norwood car uses a "CF". April built....Joe
Thanks!
Date matters, auto vs man trans matters, speedo adapter probably matters. But the usage sometimes changes for unknown (to me) reasons.
Here's what I have for 69 (with a caveat for limited data):
CF (May & later) - V8 auto, Z28, BB auto & man
CT (pre May) - V8 auto, Z28, BB man
CV (pre May) - L6 & low-po auto
CW - L48/M20, BB auto & man
CX - L65 & L14 man
CY - L65 man
CH is a full-size code. And I've not seen a CX code on a Z, so I think that cable was changed.
Thanks Troy Abercrombie for submitting this info to me:
1967 Camaro SS 396 4 speed
Build date: 06E
Plant: NOR
Stamp Code: CA
Grommet Stamp: (TBD)
Engine: L35
Transmission: M20
Final Gear Ratio: (TBD)
Where is the cable stamped? Can I see it easily? Pretty sure mine is original.
Great info!
CW - L48/M20, BB auto & man (is what I need for my car)
But it would be good to know the original lengths. I am confused with the lengths the repros are available in.
Thanks!
Jdv69z, see post 5...might help.
There's no one spot the cables are stamped. You will just have to look the cable over completely but I'd start at the trans and work towards the firewall.
Mine was about half way but the next car might not be....Joe
Mine is stamped right near the trans fitting
I'm playing catch-up to posts.
