Of those that said the seat had no cable, was there a hole in the arm of the seat back where the cable would've been mounted?....Joe

Mine did Joe. Cable was either broken or missing. I can't remember off the top of my head. I installed one from the below thread.
Standard black original interior. 08D (Aug 22)
Here is a great thread on the subject from 2014. There have been quite a few, but this one still has good pics etc.

http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=11730.0;all

I was researching Quadrajet stampings and information to assist in knowing what one is looking at and interesting as the carb off sons 69 L34 Nova is marked very similar with the carb I.D 7029215 EH (1969 chevrolet manual trans) and stamping on left rear base plate of 35 C. i'm wondering if carb Hawk was showing is actually a C and not G? Reason, it could be his other stamping below the  035 C gives the appearance of a G, but that is just a what if type question.
Note under our 035 C there appears to be a "T" stamped 90 degrees to the left underneath. NCRS newest 68'69 Judging manual notes many quadrajets have a "C" on the right rear base plate which sons carb has.
Interesting to note his carb appears to never been taking apart (was off car for 40 years) and there is NO date code stamping other than the 035 C, whatever that was used to quantify.

Sorry for the delay in posting the pics I promised. The pics I took that day weren't very clear. Now something is up with the site for me. It keeps timing out etc. Attempt three... I had to switch to my phone to post initially, but I can now modify using my laptop. The site also kept popping me into a new thread post instead of posting what I wanted... Seems like the Gremlins are only on CRG for me. And I don't mean the AMC kind... ;-)
These pics are a higher resolution and taken with a much better camera phone than the one I had before.
One last thing. Notice the red "R" stamped on my carb. We had a big discussion about it on camaros.net. It's been seen on other original carbs, but nobody could definitively say what it was.

Hi Chick. Nice to see another 215 carb like mine. It absolutely could be a "C". I'll try to get out and take a better look and pic of the carb later today.

With the "C" prefix could that be a 1970 Nova axle?

C denotes anything assembled around the middle to end of July 1969 and after. With that being a Feb assembly date, I'd say at least 1970 model year.
My block is 0728 C JF and my rear end is 0820 C BS.

HawkX66 - Great shots of the bracket and the hex head screw that retains it to the A pillar.
BTW...It looks like my brackets got tweaked when the body guy removed them.  Your pics will help to get them back to the correct orientation.  Thanks again!

You're welcome. Glad to help.

1. Re: the outboard clips -
Wish I had known about this being such a PITA before I got the front clip and hood on.  I've run the gamut searching threads on the net for how to install those stinking things with the fenders on.  All original clips and trim pieces so that part of the equation is not in question.  If I can get those end screws/clips installed then I'll attempt to drill the locating holes for the remaining clips in the center of the trim.

2. Re: Outboard Screws -
Can someone confirm the size/thread pitch etc. of the 2 screws that attach the outboard lower w/shield trim clips to the door jam at the cowl?    Mine have gone MIA and I don't want to auger out the hole with the wrong screw.  Are they the same as the attachment screws for the lower trim center clips?

Many veterans of full restorations on this forum so ANY of your insight is appreciated!

Found a pic for you that I took a long time ago.

Sure this has been asked and answered many times but can't seem to locate what I need.
Would like to put in new front coil springs. Afraid that whatever I order will make the car look like a lift kit was installed. Has anyone with a similar car bought aftermarket springs that were the correct dimension and strength to give the correct height? According to the charts a 69 camaro 396 HA, HB and HG spring was the same part number. 181 lbs and up. Why give it different I D numbers?
Thx in advance
Dean

I used a 638 tagged spring. I can't recall where I got them from, but Moog has a cs638.

When I have a question about the correct fastener I go to the AIM and cross reference the p/n to the AMK Catalog. You can download it. The catalog gives you a pic etc too.
When it comes to removing or installing it with the fenders on a Gear Wrench will be your friend.

example:

Temp gauge temps...

I got this information from Mark C on camaros.net (and CRG)  when I smoked my original ammeter. I had made a sub-panel for a USB charging point. That's all it took.


"There is no ground needed on the stock console "ammeter".  It is really a -0.5 to +0.5 range millivoltmeter labeled in Amps.  It uses the resistance of the red charging wire that runs between the horn relay and the battery to provide the voltage drop to deflect the needle.  When the battery voltage is higher than the horn relay terminal voltage the needle deflects down scale towards discharge, when the horn relay volatge is higher than the battery voltage, the needle deflects upscale towards charge.  That's all there is to it.

If you tried to run any kind of current thru it, like grounding either end of the black, or black with white trace wire, while the other is still connected, you ran 12V thru a 1V range meter and probably smoked it.
It doens't take alot of current to burn up the wiring in the gauge itself.  If you've replaced the red wire that runs across the radiator support from the horn relay to the battery terminal with a large size wire the gauge may not even register the difference and will sit at the 0 point all the time because the voltage difference across that wire for normal charge or discharge currents is no longer high enough.  Do not under any circumstances try to run current thru the gauge, or attach anything to the circuit higher than 1V DC, you will be buying a new gauge if you do that.

Measure battery voltages at the console connector on the black and black/w wires.  You should see battery voltage on both, if not the wires are open somewhere."

I bought a 2017 Expedition Platinum totaled with a salvage title. Fixed it, applied for the paperwork and got it inspected. Received a title and insurance with no problem. VA.

1969 was not a leap year so no Feb 29. But, not the first time. There is an LOS L78 car in the db with the same date.

The last 02B bodies were final-assembled Feb 19 at both plants. At NOR, typical Muncie M20 date range is Jan 9-Feb 11; LOS Jan 6 to Feb 1.

Thanks William!

I know funky things happened with dates sometimes. Is it possible that an 02B 69Z28 had a 9B29A M20?

oxyclean and scalding tap water... then blast them out and hang...

This is what I did, but you have to be careful of the GM emblem. It will take the anodizing off if you don't disassemble them or leave that part out of the solution. It does do an amazing job.

Got the tv hung....Nailed it.......

While partaking in a few cervezas while you were doing it I take it lol. Beautiful garage.
