 I believe it was JohnZ that mentioned there were 3 suppliers of fasteners, so the headmarks can be whatever was in the bin at the time, and often mixed.

 Putting smaller commonly used items aside (ex: hardware, paint, wiring, etc...) how were the larger components like engines, transmissions and differentials stocked? Was there on-sight inventory or did GM adopt a just-in-time inventory delivery by then.

I have a single hole on each side for my '67. I remember John Z saying something about them being jig alignment holes to position the parts prior to welding.

Do you mean the radiator upper and lower steel tank support ends that's part of the radiator itself, or the radiator support panel?

Mike

 I checked my 67 04B LOS L35/TH400 survivor and there is no clip that secures the transmission cooling lines to the oil pan.
The lines have two thin clips (see attached photos) to secure the lines to themselves.

Mike

 I'll take some pics of my 67 L35 w/ original TH400. Not sure if it's the same for '68 though.

I have the stamps and can send them to you. The only request is you pay postage both ways. No need to pay anything extra.
These are approximately .80" compared to the larger repos that come in at 1" height.

 This happened to me in 2024- http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=21292.msg194317#msg194317
In the end I just bought a new set of Coker redlines for peace of mind.
I have read there have been attempts to put in legislation to fail tires that are 7 to 8 years old if your state does yearly inspections due to sudden sidewall failures of older tires regardless of the mileage, but at least in NY, there aren't any restrictions....yet.

Hi Dave,

   I don't know which gear, but I've used a kit sold on eBay to correct the speedometer reading.

  See reply #2 in this link.
I believe the two pictures are from an unrestored 68.

 What is considered undersized? The tracings I took from my 67 had the heights around 14/16" and the repos I have seen were at 1" so I had a set made up for .85"  A previous discussion can be found here: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=14906.msg133073#msg133073

 A past discussion on LOS spring and tank factory paint:   http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=11984.15
I have a few pictures of my 67 LOS survivor in that thread.

Below is a picture from a past discussion of the same car w/396 engine mount bolts facing upwards. My 67 NOR car has them facing downwards.

Mike

I bought a tool for that.

 I found one of those in my 67 LOS Camaro under the seat.
I think that is the interior stye tag. Does the 414 number in the upper right match the sequence number on the trim tag by chance?

Mike

   Both my 67 L35's have the capacitors on the coil and voltage regulator as well as the ground springs in the wheel hubs.
Attached are pictures of the 04B LOS L35 survivor showing the coil and original voltage regulator & capacitors (or condensers as called in the auto industry). The cap is mounted on the coil bracket. Both cars only have the AM radio option.
