Per the late John Hinckley's Camaro Engine Dress Operations report, the bypass valve was installed at the auto assembly plant.

Team Camaro member Bratso has this block, and is looking to sell it.

OP, keep in mind that on that S8P10 code, the 8 for 1968 indicates the model year, not the calendar year.

When my 11B 67 LOS was under restoration at a very reputable shop, I was told that mismatched shafts had been observed previously on 67 survivors.

Based on the originals I've seen, that stamp font looks too large, and especially too wide. My 2 cents.

See the one in this old thread

Scratch this above - I was thinking of the distributor, which was installed at the engine plant. K6 should be okay for your 11B.

IMO an October K6 date coded carb could be correct for your LOS 11B, depending on the engine assembly date stamped on the pad.

Have you looked at UPC C60 Sheets A8 and A10 in the 69 AIM?  I'm not familiar with the 69 ductwork and center vent. Is that the original factory duct that came out of the car, or was the dash replaced? There might be better/additional illustrations in the 69 chassis service manual.   

Here's a link to an old thread that mentions a seal between the duct and dash

That's "red lead" coating used back in the day, to supposedly minimize underside rust.  As the name implies, it contained lead. Not done at the assembly plant, maybe the dealer or some other shop.   

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:
http://camaros.org/AIM.shtml


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.
