Decoding/Numbers / Re: Engine VIN location

« on: May 03, 2009, 07:02:12 PM »

My Z28 is a 12B build as well, I found the casting# and casting date but had a difficult time finding the vin.  I can vouch for not finding it near the oil filter.  I the only numbers I found there were foundry numbers.  Was your car a Norwood or LA car?

I looked at the percentage color chart and since it covers all camaro models do you think the Z28's fell in line with these percentages?  It would be cool to know what the Z28 color percentages were as apposed to the whole lot.

I have verified that my block casting date is Nov 26, 1968 from this number (k268).  This number is stamped on the front pad V1212DZ.   These two numbers seem to correlate correctly.  My Z is a 12B 2nd week of December 1968.  It would appear that my Z has its original engine, of course I'm not the original owner so I can't prove without a doubt.

Thanks for all of your help!

Ok Thanks for the help I have found the casting number and I believe the casting date.  Since the car was built the 2nd week of December it seems to me "K" November for a casting date could be correct.  Again a newbie here, so your opinions are appreciated!

Thanks for the reply, I have a feeling I need to remove the hood to get a better angle at it.  Still wondering about the numbers though.  It seems odd that there is tons of info about block numbers on this site but no mention of these particulars numbers and their meaning.

Decoding/Numbers / New To CRG 69-Z28 Question

« on: April 17, 2009, 10:59:18 PM »

I recently purchased a 1969 Z28 with a DZ302, M20-trans and 12bolt 3:73 rear end.  The car is a 12/69 build and its Hugger Orange but should be #79 Rally Green.  Lately I've been trying to confirm the blocks casting date. I practically went spelunking underneath, on top with mirrors and lights, I give up.  I did however find some numbers on the block just above the oil filter.  In one section there is the "N48", below the N48 is 371 and below that is 386.  From the research I have done here these don't seem to be casting numbers.  I would really appreciate anyone thoughts about these numbers.
Thanks, bw
