Hey Jeff, how you been?  Any progress on your 69?

On my list for the spring! my tires are older

Single exhaust hanger, all bodies came with it.

If you check the 69 AIM, UPC-8, page A4, you can see the bracket and how the exhaust mounts to it.

In the letter, Jerry stated "based on the photos sent", blah blah.  So he did not do an in person inspection? Also, the M20/4.10 combo is a bit out of norm.

My login stayed active overnight, I think you fixed it Kurt!

I was wondering, was the forum restarted last night for maint? I logged in yesterday and put "forever" to stay logged in.  But this morning I had to re-log in.  Is forever not working? thanks

Congrats!  And thank you to all the volunteers who had a steep learning tech curve!

Personally, #1: I would fix an original GM fender #2:pony up the $1500 for a NOS one, #3: only as a last resort, go with repro (but you will be breaking spot welds and doing a lot of cutting and filling to get it to fit IMO). 

That bracket is factory welded to the trunk/floor pan.  If your pans have been replaced, it might have been lost. I don't think it is reproed. Used market would be your only choice, sorry. 

Yes, filled with ATF and has a drilled cyl between springs to help with cowl shake on verts.  You need them, keep them and restore with car. Very expensive to replace as they are not reproduced and they are unique to car and year. 

A small cut-off wheel (dremel), can cut the metal flap and leave the shaft in place.  That is what I did. 

So, many years ago I downloaded searchable AIM and AMK catalog to use the part numbers cross reference list to identify bolts.  But now the AMK site is throwing errors on my malware scanner, so I cannot see the catalog link.  I wonder what is happening at AMK?

Tim, Never hear of a code starting with E.  Could it be a B?  A BT code is a 12 bolt with 3.55 gears. Have you determined the rear ration by rotating the tires?

Welcome David.  So based on the trim tag, the Camaro is a 1969 Pace Car replica, also known as a Z11.  Read about it here: http://www.camaros.org/69pacer.shtml

Basically a white SS/RS 350 or 396 convertible with orange stripes and orange houndstooth interior.  Most Pace cars were built in Norwood, but this one was built in Van Nuys plant. Pace cars bring pretty strong $$$, but like any other Camaro: condition, options, original drivetrain & rust repair will determine value.  So tell us more please.

I pulled both seats out of an MD drum master, no valves.  Next I will try a 310 BS master.
