Here are a couple of pictures from above...plus one of the car sitting in the garage.  As I mentioned earlier, the alternator was sitting behind the bracket, so I moved it up front and it does align better now.  I may just buy a replacement bracket from Rick's, etc. and replace it to see how it aligns. I recall they are only about $25 or so...

P.S., not to make you East coast guys jealous, but I was able to take the '67 out this weekend and enjoy the 60 degree So. California weather. it was a little nippy, but I guess I can live with it!

I had the alternator behind the bracket.  I repositioned it this morning and it looks to be 99% aligned.  Thanks for the help.

I have a 67 with an original 327.  I had a squeal from my alternator belt and noticed that the water pump pulley and alternator pulley dont match up (off set).  Does this water pump look original to the car, or was it for a diiferent sb chevy.  At one point the offset was almost 2 inches.  I was able to bang the bracket forward and now the off set is about 3/4 of an inch, but still causes some squealing from time to time. Any ideas???

Used the 12 volt tester and power is going to the horns.  Went and sprayed a bunch of WD-40 into the horns and let sit overnight.  Re-installed tonight and got about 3 seconds of sound from one of them .  Oh well, at least it's not the dreaded relay.  Time to buy a pair of horns.  Thanks for the help.

thanks guys. I'll work on it tonight....and let you know.

I'm no electrician, so needed help in diagnosing why my horn stopped working.  The relay clicks when I hit the horn button on the steering wheel, so that's good.  I believe only one of the two horns were working previously and then the one horn started working intermitantly.  Would it be the relay, or maybe need two new horns?

I think your best option and selection will come from e-bay or craigslist.  Try to get a plates that would have been assigned in '68... (starting with a V or W).  There is a number you can call at the DMV to see if they are clean....Don't have the number, but check DMV site.

On a 1967 camaro with a 327 2 barrel, would the casting # on the manifold be 3877652 or 3910601.  I can't seem to find any of the 3910601's on e-bay or craigslist so it makes me think that Camaro's used the 3877652 and the data I'm reading on other web sites may not be right.  Anyone have an orginal engine they could look at and report back.  Thanks.

Quick question regarding my 67 RS.  I am looking to paint the area below the rockers black, but wanted to see if anyone knows if that paint should be flat black or more of a satin.  Can't seem to find anything on it on this site. Thanks.

Thanks.

Based on the GM code of 3927184, (per many web & decoding sites) this should be for a '69 small block 350. However the casting is June 11, 1968 and it has the hole in the front of the manifold for the oil tube. Was this code used in 1968 as well? Thanks in advance.

Take a look under the Options tab at the top of the CRG home page. It looks like in 67, the interior light package was part of the custom interior pkg.

Thanks for the input.  After looking through a ton of websites and forums, I think I'm going to go with the Ken Harrison KHE-200 model.  Thanks.

Need some help with my upcoming stereo purchase for my 67 convertible.  Does anyone have any reviews of those Custom Autosound brand stereos. I'm looking at the 200 watt version. Also, since I have a droptop, I'm looking at those flat speakers from ss396.com that fit under the seats. Anyone have any experience with any of this. Thanks.

This should be an easy one, but on my '67 small block with power steering (no a/c), I loosened the one bolt on the power steering pump (within the slide area) which I thought would allow me to push the pump toward the center of the engine (so that I could remove the belt), but it will only budge a small amount. Still too much tension to remove the belt. Any other bolts that need to be removed or loosened.  Thanks.
