I'm looking for a picture, or description, of how the cross member should be positioned in my car. It's a 68, original 4 speed muncie, currently has a 350 and I believe originally a SB car. I took out the trans to have it rebuilt, and I didn't take notice of how the cross member was positioned. As I have put it back together, the shifter (a hurst) seems to sit too far to the passenger side and I think will hit my console. Wondering it I have the cross member in incorrectly. Stupid me, didn't take pics when I removed it. Currently it sits with the wide oval bolt slots on the passenger side that mount to the sub frame. Thanks for any help.

I am planning on taking out my rear axle this winter and swapping it out back to the original 3.31 12 bolt Posi, instead of the 4.11 gears that are in there and then cleaning it up, repainting etc.. On the pinion flange for a 68, were they originally the Ubolt set up or the strap set up? Mine currently is the Ubolt, but I have seen different articles and replacements that also are the strap setup. I didn't find any strings discussing this particular topic. Thank you for any help. The car has the original Muncie M21 4spd, 350 CI. Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

I am looking for any information or pictures on what the original oil drain plug would look like for a 1968 Camaro. The car has a 350 in it, it's supposedly an SS (not sure if that matters on this issue). I see so many different kinds out there for sale from vendors and 2nd party, not sure what it a correct finish or marking. Went through the other forum discussion and didn't see any images. Thanks for any help.

So, forgive me if I'm speaking about something addressed before. I am relatively new to the life of actually owning a Camaro, although been hooked ever since I was 5 when my aunt would take me cruising at night in her 68 while she babysat me. As I am working on my car (and although not very educated, loving every minute of it), when I take something apart on the car to clean it, or replace/repair it, I want to put it back together as accurately as possible as a tribute to originality. That's just what I appreciate and like to see. Not really into drastic mods.

Has there ever been thought to putting together an archive of just photos, maybe verified by a few select highly educated and respected individuals on this site, that show original color schemes, bolts, designs, patterns, markings, etc? Or is it just simpler to search through the multiple strings that have been collected over the years of this site to find those images and discussion points? I bought all the books I was recommended too from an earlier post, great reading and highly educational, but many have either B/W photos or drawings, so discerning color and detail is challenging.

I've seen the section on here of original cars and I have gone through every post, but still wish they were more in depth in the images or maybe just all in one place. Maybe I'm just that newbie hungry for information, IDK. Anyway, thanks for the information and would appreciate thoughts about this. Heck, it just may be logistically impossible due to the amount of deviations and storage it'd take for all those photos, anyway just thinking. Thanks.

Hey, I tried searching the strings on here and couldn't find this posted before. I am replacing the gasket and cover on my 68 Camaro, and wondering what people recommend for the replacement fluid? It's a 12 bolt posi rearend. It's not stock, it's a 3.73 in there, supposed to be a 3.31. I have some Royal Purple 75w90, and states it doesn't damage any yellow metal parts. Anyway, what would you recommend as a new fluid with todays technology in fluids, and how full? Thanks.

Can anyone provide me with pics of what the tilt steering release lever, turn signal lever and emergency flasher knob lock like original in a 1968 camaro, floor shift? I am replacing my non-tilt with a tilt and it didn't come with any of the levers. There are so many variations for sale online I'm not sure which is correct (they all say original reproduction). I couldn't find a string that showed that type of detail. Thanks.

Can anyone give me some information on a good reference book or website for 1968 Camaros? I'd really like one that highlights pictures of correct appearance, detailed as possible (i.e. bolts used, original colors and textures of parts in engine and undercarriage). Thanks.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I am taking my original Muncie into a trans shop to have it rebuilt. I have pulled the tran, but wanted to know what I should be asking when I take it in. Any specifics I should request, talk to the tech about, etc. when I take it in?
It locked up on me while driving and I couldn't get it to shift from 2nd to 3rd. Had to get it towed, then when I got it home and was under it playing with the linkage I came lose and would shift again. While under there I noticed that the two sections weren't lined up and the back section of the tran was twisted about 1/4" from the front. Didn't think that was right so pulled the tran and taking it in, if anything just to know it's been rebuilt and in good shape, cleaned up, etc.
Anyway, any info. from the more intelligent and experienced crowd on this forum would be much appreciated. Thanks.

It's a M21 4 speed out of a 1968 camaro, #s matching to the car. Thanks.

Is there a way to tell what type rear-end differential you have in your car by looking, without taking it apart? I attached pics. It's supposed to be a BS 3.31 12 bolt posi for a 68 Camaro, but really feels very low geared. Thanks.

Looking for documentation for my 1968 Camaro, I believe to be an SS. Drivetrain is original from Muncie 4 spd. back to rear axle. Also interested in finding the original engine. Thanks.
