Shifter rods for Firebird and Camaro are different. At least the GM part numbers are so I assume there are enough differences.

Your shifter is from a Firebird.

I have several core 69 Camaro Hurst shifter bodies but I don't believe any would be date correct for your car. Mine are earlier in the model year. I can check with a buddy of mine if you want me to. He rebuilds shifters.

Respectable for the 302.

Obviously if you want more power you will need more compression, larger cam and matching valve springs.

It's all whatever you want. Much easier to make horsepower with a big block.

Is this the car they trying to pass off as an L89?

Yes it is.

No proof of L89 in any of the pics though.

You can look on the car and try to figure out what options it has. That's about the best you can do.

Thanks Kurt.

Yes if any of you have distributor cam information that will help us, please post.

Your decode of date seems correct. I have seen that format before. I don't know if there was more than one supplier.

That was a good deal.

Muncie M-20, Hurst comp plus shifter (aftermarket), ram clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and bell housing. $750

If there is interest, I can work on putting something together on the distributor numbers for each year and application, for easier viewing.

I have several distributors for example pics.

I don't think they are original but I can't say for sure.

If proof can be found that they are original, I would be interested in knowing the details as to when, why and how the change was made.

Best wishes.

Date was done by the stamping plant, not associated with assembly date.

I probably have at least a few sitting around either in my storage trailer or at my dad's shop. I will try to look once in warms up.

Kurt, I will at least try get something for 67, 68 and 69 from what will be posted here and what I can find.

Was there a rubber spring isolator pad in place between the leaf spring and the spring perch when you took it apart?

I am not aware of a list. Those are broadcast codes, denoting color and what type of gauges.

Do you have one that you want decoded? I have several originals.

What do you consider as "fairly low"?

Honestly there isn't anything special about a VIN except to identify the car.
