   I have what I believe is the original Alternator for my Camaro.  The car was built Nov. 03 66 per NCRS shipping doc.  The Alternator is; 1100693  37Amp  build date codecis; 6K21 which codes out as 66-k=Oct. 21st.  Is it normal for the alternator to be that close to build car build date?   like 13 days?

Did the original 69 Cowl Hoods have date codes on the corner similar to standard hoods?

   Just something that I've been curious about.    I went to the CRG Home page, I see under the paint options that there were a few Camaros built with Two-tone paint.    Has anyone here seen an example of this, or a cowl tag with 2 different paint codes?

I think I read somewhere here at sometime a while back, that there was some kind of changeover point.    Or that the SS 350 had the fins and the SS 396 got the "stacks".   Can someone direct me to that post?

Ok, for you electrical guys.   My Windshield wipers have worked the past 8 summers, since I put the car back on the road.   I went to use the wipers last weekend, cuz we got a little rain.   Wipers don't work in the 2 on positions.   They will make one pass if I push the button for washers.   The fuse is good (juice both sides), and I have juice to all wires at the motor, except for the Dark Blue one.  What is the issue?

This came today in HOT ROD members Blog.   Very interesting.

    When was the official "launch date" for the '67 Camaro?     I am seeing several contradictory dates, ranging from Sept. 12 -'66 to Sept. 29-'66.

  I saw a post on FB, so I googled it.  This came up in Supercar forum;

  I've known this guy for lot of years.  And we've talked about his car several times, but had never seen it.  About a year ago I learned he had begun restoring it.  Today I ran into him at a Car Show, and learned he is on here.  Welcome aboard Dave D.  He is relatively new here, and also relatively new to computers, so I don't know if he has made any posts.  Anyhow, after the Car Show we ended up at his place and took a few pics., here is one. It is an original 4K, 4 spd. car, now sporting a 427 block(present when he bought the car).  Car is restored to original condition other than the engine block.  VERY nice car!

  I hadn't seen this commercial before.  Anybody else?  I found it on FB.  pretty cool.  Looks like Camaro #00001  in the commercial.

Maybe this has been posted before.  If it has, sorry, I have not seen it before, at least not in this entirety.  And some of you may have never seen it.

Looking for a 69 really sport in good condition for fair price

LOL!

My brother sent  me this link to a '69  302 longblock on EBay.  Maybe someone here is interested.  Listing states the partial Vin. is by the Oil filter.  If this should be posted elsewhere(orphans?), feel free to do so.  Sorry about that, the link from my brothers e-mail didn't work.  So here' a good one;

I had never heard of this car, and I went to Drag strip quite often back in the day.

 I would like to put a firmer shock on the front of my '67 Smallblock Camaro.  I am currently running Monroe Sensa-tracs, anybody got some advice?

A friend of mine posted this video and tagged me on Facebook.  Didn't even know anyone was video taping this.  These are a few of my local friends leaving a Wendy's Super Car night last summer.

  I was on Facebook 1 st. Gen. Camaro page this afternoon, and they started talking about Mod tops on early Camaros.  I had never heard of this.  During the conversation one pic. was posted of a Gold '67 Camaro with White stripes that look correct.  Further into the conversation I was directed to site where the pic. originally came from, where it stated that the car was believed to be the 25 th. Z28 built delivered to Funston Chevrolet.  Not saying it was a "factory installed" vinyl top, but it seems there were quite a few "Dealer installed" Mod tops.

(I think this car may be the 25th Z-28 built, which was in fact shipped to Jim Funston Chevrolet. Notice the snow on the ground? This suggests a January-February timeframe. On the side it looks like it may say "Kar Topper". Lots of interesting stuff like body color rally wheels, gold line tires instead of the usual redlines, & white stripes when they should be black. I see shoulder belts too. Pretty cool but wonder what happened to it.)

  I love the Fall colors and Old Country Roads.

  I thought this was kinda cool.  My wifes family has a tradition every year they call Day on the Farm. Her brother still lives on family farm that dates back to 1883. Today (Oct. 12) is Old Farmers Day. And her brother got married today at "D o t F".  Anyhow, my son got this pic. of the Camaro.  The pic. is not pixelated, it has a little mist of rain on it.

I certainly don't want to open an old wound about White paint on the Cowl Tag.  But, i read completely through the thread about White paint on the Norwood Cowl Tags, and saw no  mention if it was also done at Van Nuys.  My LOS Cowl Tag looks as if it had white paint under the black.

 Hey guys, check this out!  First '67 Camaro delivered to Don Yenko is going to Mecum Auction.

[My question is;]

  i have been considering swapping a 700 R 4 Trans. into my 67.  It will be bolted behind my original 327 engine now pushing 400 hp.  I now have a "built" TH 350 in there, backed by a 4:11 Posi rear-end.  Looking for a little better Gas mileage, and lower RPM's on the road.  Many people have told me this would be a great combo.  My question is; I just heard that I may have to do some modifying to the Trans Tunnel to get it to fit.  Is this right???  I really don't like the idea of doing that.   

Have a Happy and safe 4 th. of July, Independence Day all.  Glad to live in a country where we are free to pursue our "dreams" and "hobbies".  Sorry, this is the only Red, White and Blue Camaro I could find.

This is all the info. I have been able to find so far. 
A:  Zepelak's Chevrolet opened on Roosevelt Road, ½ mile west of York Street in July 1963.  A full-page advertisement in the Elmhurst Press (July 18, 1963) urged readers to "See Us At The Newest – The Largest – The Most Beautiful – The Greatest Chevrolet Dealership...ZEPELAK'S".
                         Any help would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks!
