Looking for a good match for the black paint on the 1969 quarter louvers.
Would anyone know the paint #?
thanks.

PPG concept paint single stage paint on the car.My Wife did the wall when moved in and finished the garage.And the checkered flags i earned at a few dirt oval tracks around Wisconsin.

It has been 8 years in the shop.Pulled it Home From a small town just west of Detroit.Former Drag Car. Guy had all the upholstery   in his attic including the fold down back seat. I reused all the chrome that came with the car. I had to send the front bumper to get it straightened and the cracks filled. Ninety percent of the parts were GM so I tried to reuse everything. All of the dash is OER or trim parts.The car really did surprise me at tear down even the rotating assembly was original GM 302. Pre X and no papers 

I will try posting a picture but I have never had much luck.

Wow, they did turn out big at 200 kb

Thanks, Bullitt, good advice and yes that is the question I needed answered, how they sealed that tube.
Seeing as how the tank hasn't had any gas in it yet, I will pull the tank and re-solder. Thanks for your time, Ron

That is the the question. Was a seal broken? and if so what kind of seal did they use? It is a GM fuel pick up.
I hate to pull the tank. IF i solder it am i going to mess up any kind of seal at that plate?
Thanks.

Yes. And it felt somewhat easy to move.I noticed it fighting with the tank straps.I didn't dare move it any more than I had to but it still felt loose.  By the way no gas added yet.

Good Day Everyone,
When I installed my new gas tank, ('69 Camaro), I noticed the fuel pick up easily moved back and forth about four inches as I was putting the straps up. 
My question is where the pick up tube goes through the plate that goes over the rubber seal, does that tube have an O-ring on it that pulls up into that plate?  If the tube moved without that plate moving , does that mean a seal was broken? and what would be a good way to fix ? Solder or epoxy?
thank you all, Ron

I Had Turnswitch do mine. You Won't be disapointed!

Jim at Heartbeat has helped me with my restoration a lot. Ask him anything. He will be very accommodating.
Bob at Camaro specialties is very up front about which parts are good and which parts need work
to fit. Both are very pleasant to deal with.
In my experience.
And good luck with your project.

I would have thought all ring and pinions would be heat treated to a certain spec, but they actually went a step further with the COPO's, now that is getting what you paid for. Those cars must be awesome from top to bottom.
Thanks for letting me know, the codes puzzled me for a little while.
Ron

The charts i read have two codes for a 4.10 Rear
  BV & BE  My question is what is the differance between the two?
   Thanks and everyone have a safe and happy holiday !
  Ron.

Hi Darrell,
Stock housing, yes. I don't have that many shims. Either 37 or 35.  It is all I can come up with.
Richmond gears says minimum back lash is printed right on the gear and mine reads .010.
Is this gospel or can this be played with?  yes four speed car
appreciate the help.

second two pictures are with .035 on pinion and .010 backlash
when I go to .033, the coast starts to pull away from center towards the top of the tooth
thanks everyone

1969 Camaro 12 bolt, 4.10 Richmond gears
I have been back and forth on pinion shims and can't seem to get both the drive side and the coast side patterns perfect.
Drive side can be good and coast side will be off or the other way around. I need opinions.
First pictures, .037 on pinion and .010 BL
