If you look in the 68 and 69 AIMS, UPC 6 Sheet D2, you'll see the cable setup used on the L6 engine.

Don't think it's backwards as D3 is redrawn 4/6/67 so wouldn't have been introduced before then?

Not sure what you mean, but the redrawn and redesigned revision note on D3 was done in conjunction with the addition of Sheet D5.  However, Sheet D5 was cancelled, so the cable never made it into production, and the redrawn note on D3 is insignificant, because they never made the change to a cable in the 67 model year.  So Sheet D3 for linkage stayed in effect throughout the 67 model year.  The redrawn and redesign note on D3 does not mean they were using a cable earlier.  Unless it's been observed on verified and documented late year unmolested survivors, the cable was not used on a 6 cylinder that year.

The AIM and how it was used, revised, and the timespan it could take for a revision to actually occur on the assembly line, is discussed in detail here:

For other AIM sheets that never made it to production and are also marked CANCELLED, see UPC K19 Sheet A11, or UPC A91 Sheet A1. 
     

I was under the impression the cable wasn't used in 67 - see UPS 6 Sheet D3 in the AIM.  If you are looking at Sheet D5, it appears they were thinking of switching to a cable late in the model year, but cancelled it on that date, and would have stayed with the linkage setup. I think you have it "backwards"?

On a related note, the AIM notes and dates are entries by engineers, so a change on 4/6/67 may not have actually occurred on the assembly line until weeks or months later.     

Invite the kids or grandkids over, and bet them a dollar or two that they can't tape that cardboard in place, LOL.

I would imagine the dash speaker cutout would be treated as if no radio was ordered.  See William's post on this older thread.   I believe a piece of cardboard with black finish was taped beneath the speaker hole.  My 2 cents.

and another discussion about cardboard covering a blank dash speaker hole:

Per his first post, the original VIN and trim tag are missing, and the PO is searching for them.

He might look for original sheet metal codes, or if any of the original drivetrain remains, those date codes to get a rough timeframe.

On the Team Camaro site, member "Tom D 1967" indicates he has the POP for this VIN, and it was a pace car replica, delivered to Brown & Holter Motor Company, Cheney WA.

Ah now I understand where you were going with the original question.  Just please don't go and get a trim tag made that falsely portrays the car as a factory SS, or stamp the engine pad and transmission with your partial VIN.  It doesn't sound like that is your intent, and you just want a Camaro with a BB in it.   

Question... has anyone heard of a 1967 Camaro with a 396-325 that wasn't an SS?

Only if it left the assembly plant as something not an SS like a 6-cylinder or 327, and afterwards got an engine transplant.

Here's an example of the floor brackets and partition panel channel that you'll need to weld in.  All the parts places probably sell them.

If there are brackets for securing your original upper seat back to the trunk divider panel, those would need removed. 67s had a simpler latch mechanism than 68-69s. The flat partition panel for a 67 convertible is specific. I can't recall but there might be dimples in factory sheet metal for the top trim screws for that panel.

I checked my old AMK catalog and they didn't have that p/n listed in the back,  just 469 then 472

This diagram may help show which one you need.  Maybe the one in view D?

I don't think they were exact on where it was mounted, unless there were dimples in the cowl to mark where to drill.  Looks like it generally straddles the "X" stamp.  The 67 AIM doesn't show any specific measurements for drilling holes.  This is from an 11B 67 LOS car. 

 



 

Can you post a few pictures? If I'm a betting man, I'd lean towards the Firebird owning the trim, not the Camaro.

Here's some at Classic Industries:

I've never seen the ones with that vinyl strip at the top, seems to be on some of the OER carpets.  Not sure what the benefit is for having that go under the top trim strip, when the entire carpet is glued to the seat back.  Nor do I recall that on my seat back carpet when I did the first resto back in the mid 80s.  And I would think Firebirds were the same carpet as Camaros.
