That's not the correct 1967 8 track.

General Discussion / Re: Van Nuys Suppliers & Timel...

Last post by RPOZ11 - December 27, 2025, 11:11:47 PM

Having spent a chunk of my working life in supply chain, here's my 2¢.

Some suppliers of common parts are required to be within a certain distance from the plant. I recall John Z mentioning that fuel tanks for Van Nuys were produced there, as were jacks certainly other components. Drive train components were not, VN had to maintain a larger inventory to cover. For 02A VN Z/28s the engine date to final assembly gap is 10-18 days; at Norwood it's about a week. One or two days is not unusual. 

Optional equipment was definitely a problem. Hard to predict and once locked into tooling capacity, nearly impossible to change. November 1968 Chevy stopped taking Z/28 orders as 302 engine production through the end of 1968 was spoken for.

This mention of the VN engine date gap helps answer somewhat for dates my engine has vs its build month and week; however not specifically on my car.
And these were Flint built.
My engine is Tonowanda.

Variations for this within you suggested timeline?

Any VN employees from then still with us who could elaborate?

I recommend you get yourself the A.I.M. and research all the parts.

Yeah!!!!  That'll change your mind.

Restoration / 8 track in 1967 camaro with co...

Last post by DarkJerre - December 27, 2025, 09:59:35 AM

Hi team, I love reading about all your findings and gather knowledge everytime I search for something.  As a newbie here I've tried looking for the 8 track player as an option in my 1967 camaro.

I've always been mesmerized by the 8 track.

1 - the car has a centre console with gauges
2 - car has the powerglide automatic
3 - all original radio with aux speaker

Q1 - What would I need to keep in mind when wanting the add an 8 track player?
Q2 - Am I correct to say that because of the gauges the 8 track is added as an "armrest" option? (drilling?)

I welcome any input and pictures to get me going on this new adventure.

Kind regards,
Jerome (Belgium)

I wrote that wrong. The extension goes between the top of the air cleaner and the ring which won't help him a bit. Sorry.....Joe
