Originality / Rare Spare Tire Wing Nut?
June 14, 2025, 10:29:51 PM
I was looking at a 69 396 4 speed Camaro that a man bought new and still owns. Triple black, all original except for one repaint 20 years ago. This is a late production Norwood car 9N705xxx. He says this is the original wing nut that came on his spare. I have seen a lot of wing nuts but never seen one that looked like this in an original 69. Have any of you ever seen one like this?

Maintenance / Console Temp Gauge
July 12, 2024, 12:23:45 PM
Does anyone know if the 68-69 Camaro console Temp gauges being made by Classic Headquarters now are internally resisted or not? If they are and don't need the ceramic resistor, I'm assuming the 12 o'clock terminal doesn't get anything connected to it and should be isolated from ground?

Maintenance / 69 Pulling To The Right
April 24, 2023, 05:57:43 PM
Do any of you experienced front alignment guys see anything in this alignment setting on my 69 big block Camaro that would make it pull to the right? All front suspension components are OEM style and complete front end rebuild has 9000 miles on it. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks

Maintenance / Upper Control Arm Bushing
April 16, 2023, 07:33:21 PM
I was under my 69 Camaro this evening changing oil and just happened to notice this. What will have to be done to fix this? Will the entire control arm have to come off or is there another way to fix this. Any advice or suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks

Maintenance / M22 Throw-Out Bearing
April 15, 2023, 03:04:55 PM
I need to replace the TO bearing in my 1969 Camaro 396 M22 car. What is the best available? Price is not a problem. I looked at one of the cheap "self aligning" TO bearings at Advance and it felt rough when I rotated it. It also was part plastic, which I really didn't like. It's a lot of trouble changing this TO bearing out and I want the best there is to put back in. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

General Discussion / Cowl Induction Solenoid
October 04, 2021, 10:57:12 PM
I'm seeing two different cowl induction solenoids on the internet for 69 Camaro. Both have the same P/N stamped in them DB1114427. But, one has the actuator arm installed horizontal and the other one has the arm installed vertical. Which is correct or does it matter? Please see attached photos.

Can somebody tell me what the correct part number is for a 2 groove crankshaft pulley for a L35 350 HP 396 that came on a 69 Camaro? Also, what is the diameter of the pulley?

General Discussion / RS Vacuum Source
August 18, 2021, 12:54:45 AM
Where did the 69 RS headlight system get it's vacuum source from? If the L78 had a intake fitting that only accommodated the brake booster, then where did the RS main hose connect to? I currently have a t-fitting in my intake that provides for the booster and my RS system. I know that isn't original, but it works. I'm thinking about putting the correct hard line fitting on my intake for the booster and was wondering where my RS should go? Please look at pictures. 1st picture is my current set up. 2nd is an original L78 fitting with only one port.

August 12, 2021, 11:40:47 PM
I was looking at some pictures of a 1969 survivor L78 Pace Car and noticed a hole on the firewall I have never seen before. Do any of you know what this is for or have ever seen this before? I'm puzzled.

Please look at the attached photo and tell me if this is a real trim plate or reproduction. Also, date code "09C", that could be 3rd week September 68 or 3rd week September 69 correct?

General Discussion / L78 Intake Bolts at Lift Hook
July 28, 2021, 11:56:09 PM
Are the 2 bolts that go through the lift hook longer than the other 14 bolts on the 163 aluminum intake? If so, does anyone know how much longer they are? I found an original set of BB lift hooks and would like to put them on my engine but, I'm a little concerned about thread engagement at the lift hook because all 16 of my reproduction intake bolts are the same length.

General Discussion / Flame arrestor tube angle
July 21, 2021, 10:11:16 AM
After 20 years I finally decided to put a flame arrestor on my reproduction 396 open element air cleaner. I just noticed that the tube is installed at an angle in the base and the top of the tube is cut at an angle so it will be parallel with the base. But, when I slide the flame arrestor on the tube, the screen sits at an angle. Is this normal or correct? I have never owned an original air cleaner assembly so I do know what it is suppose to look like. One other thing, do any of you put epoxy or lock-tite on this arrestor to keep it from falling off? My is not an interference fit so, it would be easy for this thing to vibrate off. Any help on this mystery would be greatly appreciated. Please view attached pictures.

Can anyone tell me which direction these bolts were installed on a 396 Norwood car? From rear to front or vice versa? Also, did both the LH and RH side bolts face in the same direction?
