1969 protecto plates

[frankk]

Was there a position on the propecto plate in 69 to designate the JL8 option? Where would it be on the plate using the grid shown on CRG. Thanks

[bertfam]

Yes, it would start at row B, column 15, and continue through column 21.

HERE'S more info on POP decoding, and HERE'S the list of axle codes. (NOTE: If the table is blank on your screen under the "1967-1969 Camaro POP Option Fields" heading, just click, hold and drag your mouse in the table and it'll all show up. It's a bug in IE.

Ed that position is filled by the rear end code and date. None the less, looking at all the info on my plate I see now there is nothing to designate JL8 brakes.

[bertfam]

Ed that position is filled by the rear end code and date.

That's correct. That's the only place on the POP that will tell you if the car originally came with 4 wheel disk brakes.

So Ed if the POP shows the rear coded for a JL8 rear, does that then confirm rear discs? So no separate coding except for the JL8 rear? Correct?

[jl8dale]

The rear axle code is the only code to designate  wheel disc brakes on the POP.

What is the code listed on your POP?

Correct.

Argh, I thought I had that fixed!!

Firefox works just fine, but not IE 8. Not sure about IE 7, 9 or the beta 10 (or Safari either).

Got it. Thanks Ed. Dale its a QY code.

[jl8dale]

That would be a JL8 car with a 410 rear axle!

Frank, if Kurt hasn't already asked, he'll probably be contacting you shortly about your car for the database!
