Sorry for being late here, but I feel it important to mention one thing I have learned recently when looking into date codes and assembly at the Norwood plant (I have a 1970 Norwood built Firebird). It was typical that crated engine (ect) assemblies were unloaded at the factory, then when the...

That is a factory "chrome stick" shifter arm; The Factory Hurst shifter mechanism is shared between Camaros and Firebirds, but is more common on the Firebird (I believe that Javelins also used the same shifter mechanism). I believe that Allison is looking specifically for the chrome stick that...

I believe you are mistaken; The last image appears to be a registration sheet of some sort; Those documents are for a 1970 Camaro order number 344581 The build sheet shows that order number 344581 has been assigned to a Camro with the vin number of 567388

that is so incredibly cool. I am sending a PM.

so back to the original question; is everyone currently fixated on the presence or absence of rivets? i would like to know if anyone has compared the different ones (as in ones that DIDN'T come in a GM box)? If some of them are lighter gauge, I'd prefer to stay away from those. I agree that...

Unless I am mistaken, I have seen silver and black rivets too.

I am looking to add some items to an order from a vendor (so that I get free shipping!), and one of the easy things to add are sill plates; I have never bought new sill plates for my car - I always made due with banged up originals that I found in the scrapyard, and worn hinges meant that they...

congrats on finding a year correct drivetrain!

that looks great, if you were local, I'd ask really nicely to borrow those...

the concealed wipers have additional armature(?), where as the non-concealed are just a single arm; The non-concealed used a pretty standard fare motor that was shared with the 67-72 GM trucks - I learned this when I was doing repairs to my wipers twenty or so years ago. The concealed motor...

I have three or more that I won't be using - they're not perfect, but these days that just called "patina" right? lol

To the best of my knowledge, the Camaros when equipped with an ITM four speed shifter, always had a "lift" for reverse shifter. This was a condition of the shifter mechanism, not the transmission. The Camaro four speed shifter ball I have here is a Lift & up pattern.

I have read that the original equipment tire was based on what was approved, and what was available at the time the car was built. I don't have a Camaro assembly manual - but I have the Firebird one (built on the same plant, so odds are the same tries were used in spite of the different rims)...

I have read that most have best luck with GM parts. I have personal experience with Richmond, but the last set I installed (wow I can't believe it's been) twenty years ago now... In my opinion, post #7 concerns to me... but maybe it's unwarranted.

I believe this was suggested to me elsewhere; IIRC they offer first gen dated mirrors, not second gen stuff.

I wish! It took me a long time, and a good amount of luck to score what I did. What side/type/dates are you looking for? As an example; I was looking for a passenger side mirror; For a "bullet" style mirror; Dated before June 1970 (my car is a 06A car). I'm guessing members here can help.

thanks for the info and link - I will read it. I only have a couple camaro books - the first one was that red hard (yet puffy) cover one put out by consumers guide back in the early 1990's - but I don't recall it clarifying this point. EDIT: Interesting; So the Camaro for 1973 was only one of...

wow!! Fourth week of August!! That is indeed a late build car! - I am surprised they were building them that late!

In the past I probably would have just blurted out, but these days I earnestly try to be nice; Have you bought the edelbrock carb yet? If you haven't, I'd encourage you to read this discussion (it's on a Pontiac forum, but completely relevant to your query): Edelbrock Carb, poor quality control?

Unless I am mistaken what you called braided is actually sometimes reffered to as armour; I believe you are referring to the rear axle lines that connect to the main line and go the the brake cylinders. I don't know if you intended it, but it reads like you were upsold on stainless (the "S"...
