I'm having brake issues in the 69. I have a super hard brake pedal. I thought it was a power booster problem but this weekend I started to look at the front rubber brake lines. I took off both sides and they are ok, checked the steel lines and they look great, no blockage. I went to bleed the whole system starting at the back and initially I had a small amount of fluid coming through both sides. I went to the front and they bled fine. I thought the porportioning valve on the frame rail was bad so I took off the line before the valve to see if it was plugged and it is fine. Now with that line off I apply the brakes and there is no fluid at all coming from that disconnected line. I haven't checked the other metering valve under the master cylinder. Is there someone that sells rebuild kit for these porportioning valves or is there something else I'm missing?

I'm trying to determine if my rear spoiler is a original spoiler or a reproduction. It has AOS 3949798 for the part number and it has 4 semi circular weep holes. I have read in other threads that original ones have rectangular weep holes.

Thats interesting Badshifter, I was told by 2 former owners that my Z28 had a cross ram setup on it. I have always wondered if it came like that from the factory as I have never found the original owner to verify it. Recently I reached out to Wayne Guinn, he's pretty knowledgeable on cross rams. He had me take a picture of the my firewall that I posted on here and to the left of the hole we are questioning there is a ground strap and to the left of that there is a small impression. Original gm cross rams use a v6 pedal and it goes through where that impression by the ground strap is. He thought the hole that we are wondering about might have been used for a after market cross ram. My hole has a grommet in it.

The article in Camaros.org states that it is a 3/4 in hole that was used for the TI wire harness. My hole is 1/2 in. , looks like your's is to. Badshifter did your car ever have a crossram setup on it?

Does anyone know what this hole with the grommet would be used for. This is a picture of my firewall from my 69 Z28. The area pictured is to the left side of the brake booster, just below the wiper motor.

I have, but I've never shown it. I always park in the lot and walk around. My Z is Hugger Orange with black stripes. Is your 69 Garnet Red , I've seen one that color at the show. Don't really see many Z28,s there.

I have a 69 Z28. I've owned the Z since 1988. The car has the original DZ engine but it doesn't have the original transmission. I've been looking for it for 37 years so I feel your frustration. When I looked at Dave's 68 Z , it was a total restoration, it needed a lot of metal work , didn't have the original drivetrain, had some cool options like a tic tok tach and it had a trans in the trunk but I think it was date coded for a 69 Camaro.

He's in the country, he lives on a farm

I live in Maumee. I really hope you can get that engine, sounds like that car deserves to be reunited with it's original motor.

Where are you located, I'm curious as to how far the car is from the motor.

Kurt has made me aware of your recent post Slimjim. My cousin and I originally looked at a 68 Z28 that this guy had in his barn and outside in a 78 Malibu he had the MO 302. He said it ran and my cousin is trying to find his information. The engine is located in Okolona Ohio, just west of Napoleon Ohio.

I just bought a 270 coil , they are hard to find and an original one is expensive.

Does anyone know if fan shrouds are date coded. I need to replace my fan shroud on my 69 Z. I noticed my part number on mine is 3938615 1., I reached out to  Camaro Specialties and they have seen the numbers 1,2, and 3 after 3938615. I would like to know what the numbers mean, any information would be helpful

Is there anyone rebuilding Chevrolet coils? I have a coil off my 69 Z that I would like to have rebuilt.

I finished my repair and wanted to post a few pictures. I used black JB Weld and it worked well, thanks to everyone for the tips.
