I didn't do initial timing.  Just purchased car recently. The engine has been rebuilt with only test miles.   I did plug vacuum when checking timing.  Might have to pull distributor and start over.  I Cant turn timing back to get it on timing line.  Engines dies.

My 69 Z with original engine starts hard after it warms up.  It really lugs battery on restarts and barely turns over.  It has a brand new battery.  Im thinking its timing.  Put timing light on and cant get timing line to match tab.  Its on top.  If I degree timing light 25 degree it brings it in.  Ive never had to do that before.  Am I doing something wrong?  Also reset points to 30.  Is that correct?  Car idles around 1100 to 1000.  Im an old big block guy.  Never messed much with a 302, but heard they can be contrary.  The car runs great, doesn't stumble or blow black smoke.  Thanks for any help.  Bob

Great story on your car...... I have always wondered where some of the cars I owned or bought came from.

I was reading thru some old threads and saw that all Camaros built in June 1969 have a 06A trim tag.  But I cant find out why.  Just curious. My car has 06A build, Engine is 06/04, Trans. 06/17, NCRS shows production date 06/26 and POP shows it was bought 06/30.  It didn't sit very long on the lot.  Thanks for any info Bob

The original owner was from Schnecksville. Pa.  I bought it off second owner who's initials are JB.

Sorry guys, wont let me post another pic.....

Came with original rally wheels.  Looks much better with them on.

It now has rally wheels....

Reached an agreement. My new Z!!

Thanks everyone for the help. I checked out the car over the weekend.   Im no expert, but everything looks legit and the owner has lots of documentation. Its an older, but still a really nice paint job, the engine has just been rebuilt.  Looks and runs great.  Currently negotiating a price.  Bob

He states he is second owner.  Has POP, which looks good and matches stamp on engine.   Partial VIN is stamped on block.   VIN is124379N662120.  Does that match a June production?  Thanks for help...Bob

Absolutely sure?  Could you message me what you see wrong?  Thanks Bob

Going to check this car out this week.

Looking for any info on this car.  VIN 124379N618870   Did a search, but nothing came up. Looks like a nice driver.  Hopefully I attached TT correctly and it shows up in post.

Thanks everyone for the reply's. Yes, its the Z listed at Volo Motors.  I did a search and saw some of the reviews.  I've got my eye on a couple more.  Keep you posted if anything pans out. Not looking for anymore projects.  I've done enough of those.  Looking for a nice, mostly original driver.   This is a Great site!!  I appreciate the comments and all the work and research put into this site.  Bob
