Rarely can someone remember things clearly from 57 years ago.

Harris Auto Group (L8842767) are you the company selling this car now or have you sold it in the past?

[59 S 723 X11]

I saw this car December 1999 at Friendship Motors in WI. At that time the body tag data was 59 S 723 X11.

It's come a long way.

... a long way.. and thru some 'dirty hands'...    HIGHLY DOUBT IT WAS SAME CAR FROM 25 YEARS AGO

As Bill stated loads of errors on window sticker, car shipper and dealer Invoice, all are repros. Additionally, you cannot order Houndstooth in a Non-Pace car convertible.

Reviving old thread.. On a 06A Camaro 396 right now. pump has the large AC on both sides of housing. CM40727 doesnt seem to line up with the table Kurt posted on CRG. Any input would be appreciated.

The "C" would be March. The "M" would be 1973....Joe

Restoration / Re: 1968 Tonawanda 327 intake ...

Last post by KevinW - August 13, 2026, 06:57:24 AM

In my pile of bolts, I have seen many markings, C, A, M, TR, etc.  But the lengths bring up a good question. While most are 1 1/8", the two with the engine hoist brackets need to be longer (1 1/4" I would say).

So did the engine get built with two bins of bolts and the workers knew to put long ones under the brackets?

And would they have the same head markings?

And when did shouldered bolts start happening?  The older engines have un-shouldered bolts I assume.

Then there is the A/C brackets.  When A/C was ordered, when the dress line install the intake brackets and did they replace the 1 1/8" bolts with longer ones?

thanks.

Restoring a March 1968 327... please see the attached pictures showing the intake manifold bolts.
One was changed and I need to find an original...does anyone know where I can find the bolts with the "C" marking on the head?..1 1/8 long.
Thanks in advance Frank

I just found my box of spare spacers.  The 6 cyl spacer 3927794 is 1/2" longer.  So I put that on so the fan is closer to the shroud.  We will see how that works.  I also found a 2 1/2" spacer from a Monte I think. But I thought that was too long.

This is the best i can get, it's a tight spot to get the right angle. From my research, this car would have been built the first week of June?
