At some point the listing will probably disappear.

Rebuilt in 2018/2019, purchased by the seller in 2023 as a spare, and has been stored since. The engine has been bored 0.040″ over.

The main caps shown are 4 bolt caps, but I don't see anywhere in the description where it says those are original.

I have heard rumblings over the years that SOME late 68 engines did receive 4 bolt mains, but I have no proof. Jerry M. might know more.

Thank you Badshifter, the 69 pic was just updated today so I can save for the next update if yours has not been used previously.

Vince, I don't remember your car being used before. I will try to get yours added today, since the 67 pic for this time was a recycled pic. Thank you.

Hard to find copies. What are you looking for, the decoder? If do, it is not complete and has errors.

One person - RikerZ28 - contacted me since I had told them they could be on the next update. I lost some file recently so I apologize for the mix-up. Once I get the photo I will make the change.

Those who want to get on the list, please respond to this message with a post and that way I can go back when I do the next update in a few months. We used to change the pics every month, but it's been hard to get pics in recent year.

Pics on the front page have been updated. I recycled some pics from 2016.

Well I will say that I have NEVER seen a W plug on a 68 or 69 M22. NEVER.

Do as you wish.

As far as I know the Lisle 2 Magnetic plugs are correct for 1968 and 1969 M22s. They did not use a W plug. They used a pair of the LISLE 2 MAGNETIC Plugs.

The P plugs might have been used in some 1969 extended model year plugs, but for sure for some 1970 M22s. The plugs with LISLE were used on all 1971 and up Muncies, with some P plugs possible. 1970 was probably a mix of P and LISLE.

I tried to see if the company was interested in reproducing the plugs but they said the tooling cost wasn't feasible.  I talked with the owner in his office for about an hour on the different plugs they used to make. I gave him some of mine for his personal collection.

What do you need to decipher?

It could be from a Z28 or another car. Without proof it's just a story. Now if we had the VIN for the Z28 it would be more believable.

$2500 seems like a lot for bare housing that has been modified with C-Clip eliminators and what appear to be aftermarket axles.

It is in Holbrook, NY

OK, my suggestion still stands. The guy I gave you contact information for is a long time transmission builder and he has done shifters for me in the past. Having him do it is probably the easiest way.

I don't think plating was the same on Camaro and Pontiac shifters. The shifter bodies have a silver zinc plating and the 1/2 3/4 levers might have more of the yellow dichromate plating. But Chevy rods and the reverse level I *THINK* are black phosphate.

Again, for accurate results I suggest you have someone do the plating for you. Best wishes.

Are you an experienced plater?

Unfortunately I don't have an exact answer for you. You can check the CRG report on shifters and that might help a little. https://www.camaros.org/shifters.shtml

Otherwise you could contact Eric Davidson. I will PM you his contact information.

I  just purchased an original unrestored 69 L78 4 SPD 410 Rear with all original parts . The cable is shorter and of course the cable code is different .

Are there any stripes visible on the driveshaft? If so, what is the build month of the car please?

No cars left the factory with a cross ram intake and carbs installed. These were dealer installed or ordered through the parts department.
