General Discussion / Wire end
June 30, 2025, 10:35:37 AM
I am working on a January 1969 Z, and I found this plug-in out of the wiring harness near the horn relay. My other Z does not have this. This harness could be tampered with so maybe it belongs somewhere else and that's just where it ended up. It's sort of looks like the one on the brake block, but it is there.

I like this color and options.  Looks like another vin under what's stamped and it has a digit wrong

Looks like tag and vin was off. Firewall may have been rusty by the look of the tag. Seller not much help and surprised no one mentioned issues yet

Decoding/Numbers / No D80 on late X33 tag?
January 27, 2022, 09:53:54 PM
Could spoilers be deleted after D80 started showing up on the tag?  Seen a car on bringatrailer that looks to be a 08 tag and X33 but no D80.

Seller stated originally silver but now has orange on trim tag.  My Z is the same week and tag doesn't match at all.

Decoding/Numbers / 69Z on bring a trailer

Documentation for original drive train seems to be lacking.  I believe there was a comment numbers matched.  I noticed the 3 on the transmission has a different font than the engine.  Engine stamp is a lot clearer than mine.  Any comments on if either part is for that car?

Originality / Subframe marking
September 27, 2020, 07:46:22 PM
I am working on a 68 and the subframe and bottom of the car is coated in a waxy substance from the late 70s. Maybe ziebart? 
I tried the hot water power washer today and it took most of it and the paint off and found this under the paint.  Could be a H. 
Nothing too exciting but interesting

Restoration / Aftermarket core support
June 21, 2020, 02:00:17 PM
Hi Guys.
Anyone used an aftermarket core support that fit right?  I am working on a 68 and have a replacement but it is like 2 pounds lighter than a stock one and you can grab the top and flex it with your hand.  The stock one I ran across is pretty swelled up around the bushing holes to want to fix it

General Discussion / Horn spring and pin
August 14, 2019, 08:32:39 AM
Hi guys.
I am having a turn signal issue and removed the steering wheel. I thought something came off that I now can't find and wondered if it was the pin. I looked at HBC and they have a spring and pin but says non wood wheels didn't use the pin?? Does the plastic end off the horn just push in the tube where the spring is and how far do you push it in?
Thanks!

Restoration / 68 RS grill silver
June 01, 2019, 08:50:19 AM
I am looking for some feedback, I have an nos RS grill and it is the later all black bar one.  My car is a 10D car and from the report here, it should be one with the silver bars. Has anyone here taken a black grill and painted the silver on it??  The car has pretty much all gm parts with it and hate to put the repop grill on but might if this will not look right

Garage Talk / 81 camaro I saw
August 25, 2018, 07:55:55 AM
I hated to post this but since we have discussions on when rare isn't really worth much I thought this car might fit right into that. It's an 81 base Camaro with 18,000 miles on it and it is a nice Survivor. The only thing I could tell changed was it had a radio added. It never had a radio. This car had a V6 no air conditioning, it did have T-tops, a rear spoiler and beautiful black paint. The kicker was silver interior. I wasn't sure I really liked it but it was in pristine condition. The lady was trying to sell it and if it had air conditioning I might have been interested but I'm not sure if I could have stood looking at those seats!

General Discussion / Spare and jack mounting
July 05, 2018, 10:16:58 PM
I know I just read a topic on this, but I could not find it with the search. I'm going to put my spare and my jack in my trunk, I found where it is at in the assembly manual. Difficult to picture in the trunk. I found where the top of the Jack goes up in the bracket towards the back of the seat and I have not figured out where the end goes towards the wheelhouse

General Discussion / Radiator shroud clip
May 22, 2018, 08:12:38 PM
 does anyone have any good tips for getting the clip beside the battery tray in? This side towards the fender wants to slide in nice but then you cannot hook it over the radiator. I've tried hooking it over the radiator but then I can't get it to slide in the slot. About to drive me crazy

supposed to be 7000 mile original car. Not mine just thought it was interesting
#24
Someone was having issues with their gauge and I could not remember where I saw this but ran across it this morning. It was on team camaro and I thought it was interesting.

Ok, just an update to this thread in case anyone wonders about this in the future. Tonight I replaced my sender unit and decided to figure out what temp is where on the stock temp gage. I used the sender unit and my grill and a pot of water and started with boiling water and went down from there. Here is what I found:

218F at one notch past vertical
200F at the Vertical hash mark
195F one notch in front of vertical
187F two from vertical
180F three from vertical
173 at the first large hash from Cold
162-167F one mark under the first large hash
159F between the 2nd and third mark
155F at the second mark
150F between the first and second mark
140-145F at the first mark
140F and less - under the first mark

Hope that helps some people know what their stock gages are at!!

General Discussion / Interesting 68 on ebay
July 11, 2017, 05:04:51 PM
Seen this on the yenko site. Car still has the original trunk weatherstrip. If  you look closely on the right front side you can see the orange line in it. Trunk spatter looks to be a stringy mess when it was put on . neat car
