The picture of the letter came from either documentation that Wayne Guinn had or Mr. Thompson. It was displayed on the table along with the crossram manifolds. That is all I have of it. Somewhere I have contact info for Wayne but think he might also have contact info on his website.

Does anyone know when this article came out in Cars Magazine? I see the dual 4 intake has the splash shield on the back that was not present on the production units.

Also some inter departmental memo from August 1967 regarding the crossram set up. I guess I'm looking for anyone with owner history of that green 68 Z/28 that had the crossram installed by Motion. If I had the VIN I could find out if it was ever registered in Canada, or if the manifold was removed then ended up here.

I'll have to dig up more of my air cleaner pictures but here is a picture of the underside of the lid. Looks like rods were welded in for spacing and then cut out at some point prior to use.

Jon, I also have read the Mini Mauler article and have no proof that the car was sold into Canada. But for sure the crossram and air cleaner from that car showed up in Canada. I purchased the air cleaner at a swap meet in Barrie, Ontario about the same time that someone from Georgetown, Ontario purchased the crossram. When I was at the GM Nationals several years ago I met with Mr. Thompson and had him sign the prototype air cleaner. He did a discussion in conjunction with Wayne Guinn and Rick's First Generation Parts.

Jon, I've read a fair bit of your articles on the crossram and find you very informative. I'm wondering if you have any info on a car that came to Canada called the Mini Mauler from Baldwin Motion Performance? I may have the original air cleaner from this car. It was a prototype. I also have a 68 prototype crossram manifold. Both were documented by Wayne Guinn and on his website. If anyone knows anything about either the air cleaner or manifold and how any racing history, I'd love to hear about it.

Originality / Re: underhood wire harness extension

« on: March 18, 2011, 12:57:10 AM »

I have one on my LA built 67 Camaro. They were an extension (as many have suggested). They were only used on LA built cars. It was to make it easy for the production line workers as they didn't need to lean over as far, one end was already plugged into the firewall. If you ask for Don Bock at Factory fit he might remember making one up for my 67 Pacer. Or send him your and he'll duplicate it. Correct the harness isn't needed but looks cool to those that look that hard.

You may want to book quickly as rooms are getting hard to find.

My 1967 Camaro came from Jim Green Chevrolet in Texas. Seems they are no longer in business. Does anyone have any info on where they were located (street, city, zip code)? Or when they went out of business?

Thank you for your replies, seems the new power steering hose was faulty, leaking at the crimped end.

Restoration / 67 Speed Warning with power convertible top bracket

« on: December 14, 2009, 02:42:40 AM »

I'm restoring a 67 with the power top option, also has the speed warning option. I'm looking for a description or picture of the bracket that holds the cable to set the white needle on the speedo. I know without the power top option the cable was mounted by a bracket at the hole where the power top switch mounts. I understand when the car came with both options a bracket was made to hold the cable and may have mounted off one of the screws that holds the power top switch. Any info would be helpful.

Maintenance / power steering leak

« on: November 15, 2009, 10:24:29 PM »

I've got a 67 Camaro with a stock engine compartment with the 350. I have been leaking power steering fluid from behind the pump. I think it is coming from the pressure line. Thought it was from the nut where the line attaches to the pump, I tightened it. Still have the leak. I'm sure this is an aftermarket hose from a reputable supplier. Any thoughts on other sources to check?
