I could probably do a whole bunch of these posts, down to hoses and hose clamps, if you guys are interested. Or I could just put everything in this thread as I go through the cooling system of this 69 250. Anyway, here's the pump:

Finally! First Peruvian Camaro that I've actually seen!
Can you post a picture of the VIN and are there any tags underhood?

Welcome to the site! Looks like a very nice car to start with. Ask questions, there are a lot of people here that can help or point you in the right direction. LOL, not surprised by the dealer response. There are not a lot of parts in factory production any longer, so they really can't offer much. Do a google search for your area to find suppliers and shops that specialize in vintage cars. There is probably a lot that you can do yourself too!

Share some more pics, we all like to see these cars and hear the details!

Good luck!

Need help please on a 69 Camaro SS with new rebuilt 350 engine that has oil leaks at the front and rear oil pan seals. Leaks at the bottom of the pan seals when the engine runs and after shutting off.

Round 1: New aftermarket Taiwan stock oil pan and stock gasket/seals (thick front seal) = leaks

Round 2: New aftermarket Taiwan stock oil pan and Fel-Pro one-piece oil pan gasket (thick front seal and longer ARP pan bolts) dry with Permatex Ultra Black sealant in the four seal corners = leaks

Round 3: New aftermarket Moroso stock oil pan (thicker steel, USA made) and Fel-Pro one-piece oil pan gasket (thick front seal and longer ARP pan bolts) dry with Permatex Ultra Black sealant on the inside and outside of the front and rear oil pan seals = leaks
 
PCV valve is good. Pan is flat. Pan holes are flat. All surfaces are clean. I'm out of ideas. What do you recommend next? Thanks for any input.

Hello CRG forum, around a few years ago I acquired a 1968 Camaro with a 350 small block engine and a four on the floor from Lima, Peru. The frame is in good shape, however lots of the rubber hoses and fluids have of course deteriorated over time; the last time this particular car was actively driven was probably around 25-30 years ago, though it does run. It has been imported to the United States for personal use, though I am having trouble finding people who would possibly have more information, as well as parts. The Chevy dealership nearby laughed at me! Lots of evidence of improvised repairs done over the years, as is often the case with LatAm cars in-general. If anyone has a certain specialty or more information on this pretty limited GM production, the factory itself or shops that specialize in Camaros on the East Coast please let me know!
