As a follow-up to my previous post about not letting a potential buyer drive my car, it has nothing to do with intent to purchase, how far they traveled, etc. For me, it has everything to do with the "unforeseen oops". All of my toys are stick shift...what if the guy thinks he's better at...

I disagree. No one is driving my car without them having some skin in the game. I'll take then for a ride and flog it, but unless I have cash in hand, too many bad things can happen and they just walk away. Don't like my terms?...no probelm...next.

Exactly. A great example is bumper jacks, load rests, bases and lug wrenches...mind boggling. As for the bolts, many had multiple suppliers. As an example, I disassembled an untouched 70 L48 engine and found three different mfgr marks on the intake bolts.

Lots. Actually I do not have a total count but we used as many Norwood and LA cars as we could access. In addition, a lot of original take-off component items were used so collectively, cars and parts that number in the "dozens". The challenging aspect, as you alluded to, is finding original...

GREAT NEWS!...The 1970 Camaro Legends Judging Manual is being printed and will be available for sale the week of September 18, 2023! Packed with over 140 pages of information and photos detailing the first year of the 2nd Generation Camaros, the manual covers all aspects of this introductory...

I do not think it is fair to claim a 53 year old car with 21,000 original miles should have original paint, tires, etc. because it all depends on how the car was cared for over 5 decades....and obviously, this car probably was not cared for prior to the resto. I also agree having mounds of...

No clue....but I vote that it was workers on the line not placing the template correctly. Also, keep in mind this is just one example. On the same car, the left front hood stripe extended almost 1/2" further forward on the header than the right hood stripe.

Try this. These were dimensions I took off my 05C Norwood unrestored car....and yes, the passenger side emblem was 5/16" further forward on the fender than the driver side emblem.

Nailed it...:cool:

Realistically, it's pretty straightforward and not difficult. But, if you're looking to have the final unit restored and tested to factory specs, you'll need someone with an old Sun machine. I know Jerry MacNeish restores and tests distributors [email protected].

From previous research, the fans stamped with #3947772 were produced by Schwitzer. Fan #3956684 was produced by Hayes-Albion and was very similar but did not have a stamped PN. The primary visual difference was the square-ish fan blade mount with 4 rivets of the Schwitzer unit versus the...

This was an early rendition of the cover...the Camaro script has already been corrected as we knew even the smallest details would be scrutinized.

For those not familiar...The Legends Judging program within the Camaro Nationals is the premier format for judging 1st and 2nd Gen Camaros that have been restored to concours level as the car would have left the factory. The Legends program operates on a 5,000 pt scale which provides incredible...

I'll be there Dave!

The engines were fired at the engine plant using a hood that fed a premix ratio of air and propane or NG..can't remember which. No coolant, so they ran for seconds to verify oil pressure, no noises and set basic timing. Engines were produced a such a rate that there was no time to run them for...

With all due respect, it's not a question of "if" the air cleaners were installed at the assembly plant or not. It is well established that the carburetors were also installed at the assembly plant, not the engine plant and therefore it would not have been possible for the aircleaner to be...

Aircleaner was installed at the GM plant, not the engine plant. "CU" is the broadcast code for the aircleaner assembly and had nothing to do with cubic inches.

Do your research and read, read, read. https://www.yenko.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=139 https://nastyz28.com/threads/70-l78-camaro-on-ebay-interesting.326220/ ...more if you search.

Thanks...I was hoping it was an early build, but it's not. BTW, LA or Norwood?

Drawing a conclusion that Chevy never changed to more than 6 pt. bolt on the hood latch of Camaros based only on '70 and a '77 model years is irresponsible. Jurquhart - what is the build date of your '71Z? I read through the thread and did not see this info.
