I did look for other cams and no luck, but not in the parts catalog as I do not have one.
I did a try for now modifications to the cancel cams by epoxying new lobes about 1 1/16 inches apart c2c.
May not be pretty, but it changed the cancel from the factory 45-75 degrees to about 20-25 degrees, so much sooner cancelling than stock lobes.
I do notice from a full tight turn to lock, the cancel comes off sooner, at about a 1/2 turn from full lock. To me, no big deal as at that time, I've already finished my turn and returning to straight.
I may even try to move the lobes a little more to get it to 10-15 degrees, but first I want to drive it for a while, not that the cancel will change, but to see if I like where it's at...
*The factory lobes may need to be eliminated after testing for cancel stop to stop to make sure there is no overlap.
My goal is to achieve directional cancel when passing and returning back into my lane on the highway. ;)
Yahoo, no more cruising with a directional on!

Seems like when gm designed the steering wheel cancel rotation of 45-90 degrees it was for standard steering and not the quick ratios N40 or N44.
Has anyone made an adjustment to get the cancel rotation down to approximately +-20 degrees. And if so, what was done to achieve it.
In the meantime, I will keep fiddling with the cancel cam.

Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

well, I did it! Left the header tight.
pulled the column back after disconnecting the rag joint on the box.
a little upward clockwise roll and moved it back towards the firewall and it dropped right out.
easy process, Whew

can the box be removed and then reinstalled on a 68 z without removing or loosening Larry Christianson replicated headers. Some say it can be accomplished by loosening the steering column and pulling it back a few inches.
Thanks in advance.

Would a 1969 01C build power steering box cover have the Highway S Logo or no logo.
Was told that the S logo didn't appear until 1970, but yet I see many, supposed originals with the S logo.
was the 5686555 raised molded or stamped.
so much conflicting info out there my heads ready to explode.
or if there is an original picture of one, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

is it possible that a 1969 01C z delivered from Norwood to Florida come without A.I.R.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for the reply.
I am so confused on this tag :o
I have a tag numbered 3924704 and thought to be from a 68 camaro or z28 m20, if not then would you know what it is for.
I'd like to have the correct tag, or no tag at all.... if not oh well.

if this wire is separate and not wrapped in the harness, then most likely the hood light.
the clip would attach to the fender lip support.
this female end would attach to the red on the horn relay
then there would be a male end that that went to the light.
horn relay to female, then fuse, then male end which connects to under hood light
depending on the installer, there could be 1 or 2 clips on the fender, one on each side of the fuse.

could possibly be half of an inline fuse connector. see if a fuse fits in it.
if it does, then look to see if hood had a light.
not sure why it would have been in the harness though.
just thinking out loud here.
curious to know what it turns out to be

my 69 z needs a nice easy pressure on the pedal to stop,
whereas my 68 z requires noticeably more pedal pressure.

while I was having the original 68 power booster restored, I was running an aftermarket which allowed for less brake pedal pressure to stop.
but now with the rebuilt oe, it's quite stiff.

all lines good and no leaks, booster holds vacuum for days.

could the different pedal pressures between the 68 and 69 just be the nature of the beasts.
Thanks in Advance.
