N for Norwood OH

Yes, in fact the F70-14 were the upgrade option (likely selected for RS/SS/Z28 models), which the Speedway Wide Tread series tires are.  So that does comment from Kelsey does make sense.  However, they were not the base option.  I am 99.99% certain were not chosen for my base 230ci Camaro.

I think this looks more original...

Looking for some help.  Is there any way to get a full list of a car's original RPO list?
I have the original POP, but I believe is does not show ALL original options (mine only shows 3, power steering, power brakes, & radio).  I do not have the original invoice.
I have gotten an NCRS report, but it doesn't show any of that info & I'm pretty sure Marti does not do GM/Chevy.
I have also looked up the original dealer & they closed decades ago.

Any thoughts or direction?
My parents are the 2nd owners & bought the car in late '69 & having the POP is cool, but I'd like to understand it's full option listing.  Thanks in advance.

thanks, i went with some BFGoodrich G78-14s from Coker.  They are the closest to the original E78-14 specs.
I know Kelsey are supposed to be the experts, but there is no way early '69 base Camaro came with a Wide Tread series tire.

All,
Looking for some help to determine the correct tires for a 1969 Camaro (standard, 6 cylinder, auto, non-SS/RS/Z28...very plain jane with full wheel hubcaps).  From what I can tell on this website the standard tires were E78-14 blackwall with an upgrade RPO option to whitewall.
When I look at Coker Tires website, they show a 1969 E78-14 whitewall that is 2.375 wide.  That doesn't seem right to me.  Looking to see what someone knows (was it a ww that wide or more narrow)?  Thanks!

Thanks, it is in-fact 460.  I found the answer in the "Tune up" sheets on this site.

Looking for some help on distributors.  I looked all over the site for coding (part numbers) information on distributors but can't find anything.  Can someone point me in the right direction or have the information?
I have a 1969 L6 230ci (I know the engine is original), & I think it has the original distributor (1110499) but I am looking to confirm.

Also, how to de-cipher the date code would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.

Restoring a '69 camaro.  I'm not sure my body guy got the top of the door jamb areas correct.  They are different on each side & i'm not sure which is correct, or maybe neither.  It's creating a hard time to install the U jamb seals and the rear interior panels not to mention the windlace.  See pictures below, you can see differences including the width of opening the quarter window pokes through (drivers side is way wider).
I was hoping someone would have some pics, videos, articles, etc on how this metal should be.  thanks!

Given C60 are the AC pages, if my car doesn't have AC then can I conclude it did not come with an idle stop solenoid?

thanks, I couldn't find anything that stated when it was installed & not.
My car does not have AC.  It's an automatic with column shift.

Curious if anyone can help me understand if/when a 6cyl came with an idle stop or not?
Restoring my 69 L6 and for all of the original parts i do have, I don't have anything related to the idle stop & solenoid, so i can't tell if it was an option mine did not have or what.  Thanks!

oddly enough I recently bought that piece on eBay, it is item #2...but i'm still looking for the bracket it attaches to.  likely i'll have to rig my own piece to the underside of the trunk to attach to.

That is the problem, i don't think there is a part number.  If you look at the pic of the AIM I put in the post you can see there is no part# listed.  I also couldn't find it in the parts catalog.  I have all parts except that initial hanger at the top.
Looks like KevinW said this is welded to the trunk underside...which mine has been replaced & I now don't have this hanger piece.

yes 1969

Anyone know where I can find this hanger?  I need the piece that seems to attach to the frame rail or the underside of truck...it is not listed in the AIM or the parts manual...I can find all other pieces.  I'm trying to attach a pic of AIM upc 8-A4 (hope it works).
