I just received a note from a customer that his regulator is a re-stamp.

Now I have had these in my collection for 20 years when I was out pulling parts.

The numbers are not lined up perfectly, but I have seen this over and over and is not uncommon.
Please let me know what your opinion is as I have been restoring these for decades, and would never do that.

The 8B is off... original or fake?

We got some of the local 67's together this weekend.
67 IPCs engine options here are: L48, L35, L78  We let the SS350 hardtop participate too.  We like him..  lol
It was quite a traffic jam this afternoon....

had these in my closet for as long as I can remember--- 20+ years.
gonna move these along - just wanted to be sure I represented them correctly...

did they even restamp way back then?

what you think?

A friend sent me a few pictures of an original NOS 1967 exhaust tip.
He is now making his repro tips exactly the same.

Aluminum thermostat housing #3896958 looks EXACTLY the same as the 3877660 housing.
Except for just the spring retainer flange is higher.
Anyone know what the application for the 958 is?

Hey guys - help me win the contest.

Thanks!!!

Can someone post a picture of an original 1967 underhood lamp.
it has a single mounting hole, and functions in reverse.
I would like to see the backside where the wire comes out.
Thanks   

Beautiful job on this engine.
Hope the car is still out there.  19N523516

This is a real nice 70Z listed on ebay.
I believe it is WAY over priced already, but I was watching for a bit. 
still thinking of adding a 70 to my collection.

I may be wrong, but I did not think there was EVER a LT-1 or 302 produced at Tonowanda.
Anyone know for sure?

Seller has a lot of stuff to back it up - but I just thought this was not possible?

I am trying to duplicate the exact markings of the smog pump hoses.
I want to find the correct part numbers and different applications of the ribbed smog hoses?

Were both hoses the same part number? are different years the same?
I am finding conflicting data from what I see in my collection, and what is written in the AIM, and other books.

BB hoses are longer, but is the part number different?

Anyone have any pictures?

[Grey phosphate]

Just sent out a bunch of diverter valve hoods to be replated.
have always done these in Grey phosphate - to match the many original NOS, and survivor ones I have saved.

Now I see in that new book that just came out....
the color is told to be either flat black paint, or Black Phosphate

I have 32 hoods at the plater now - I want to get these right.
What is correct?
Thanks

Had one of my cars on display at the Miami International Auto show this week.
Chip Foose came by to check out our classics.

Nice guy - he drew this for me.

The 862 and the 890 horn relays were both used during the 69 model year.
Does anyone know exactly when the changeover happened? 

Got some smog check valves cleaned and ready to be plated.
Question:
Do I need to plug the ends, or were the insides plated also?
Will not plugging them harm their function?

Well, it is time to pull out the 67, and fix a few of the incorrect things that I
have been putting off all these years. (if it aint broke....).
i have collected the correct water pump, 4 blade fan and spacer.
And finally found the correctly dated 880 manifold.

The big item that I still need is a correct Harrison radiator.

Any Idea where i can find one?
I hear that Heartbeat has a very correct reproduction - is this true?
Or, should I continue to wait to find an original one? which is not getting any easier.
I have some harrison tanks, buy they are not Camaro ones, can anyone reconfigure them?

It says here in the reports, that I need a 3 core 23" for the 1967 L-35 Auto - 396-325
"67-68    BB auto =  OM"

Is this going to be less productive then the 4 core I am now using?
Should I just leave it alone? -
I am not running hot after many years of trial and error, here in south Florida.
Will changing from a 4 core radiator w/ 5 blade clutch ,to the correct 3 core radiator, and 4 blade fan-
going to give me problems?
Any opinions?

I just looked at a friends 67 Camaro today.
Something seemed unusual.

The car appears to be factory loaded with options. RS, SS-350, PS, PB, A/C, Deluxe interior, PG trans, front disc brakes, speed minder,
The trim tag does not show ANY of the options except 3K?
The car was built 09D, and has a very low VIN number.

Is this before the codes were on the tag, it is a NOR car.
Or maybe this was all added at the dealer way back then. Or added at sometime to make a better car?  I couldn't read the engine stamp, to confirm the 350, but the car really looked mostly untouched

I have seen that all of the early Chevrolets used the short water Pump through 1968 (except Corvette = through 1972) With this pump was I thought Always used a fan with 3" bolt spacing. Now I find out from some people that the 67-8 Z/28, as well as the L-78 used the later 3.25" spacing.??  is this true?

I had thought that spacing was not used on Chevrolet motors untill 1969.

3.25"  is the spacing used for the later "long" water pumps.
Are the water pumps different on those 2 - 67-8 Chevy applications, as to use a differnt fan and clutch.

I know that all the other motor divisions used the larger spacing, and Chevy was different. Why were these 2 applications different then the rest of the Chevrolet engine line?

Wondered if someone could confirm for me the finish of the 1969 SB smog tubes.
I had thought in that they were to be Goldcad plated, but I see all the resto houses are selling black ones.

Which is right

I only get the first sentence of someones post.
Is there a setting I can change?

Thanks.
