Restoration / Re: November 66 built Van Nuys SS nose stripe

« on: November 12, 2024, 03:17:50 PM »

Link to a claimed survivor (paint), appears to be last tagged in AZ so possibly a LOS car.

I can't say for sure that this was a LOS car, but it was located somewhere out west.  It has the grille emblem of an early L48

This was said to be a survivor 10B LOS car.  I'll see if I have other survivor photos

I think this is it.  Sorry, I don't know the thread size, and it's a compression fitting as well.  I think all the usual Camaro Parts suppliers should sell this part, and it's probably used on many other models as well.

General Discussion / Re: 1966 Van Nuys Plant shutdown?

Any evidence that it was damaged, or the floor pan in that area replaced at some point? Seems the later seat bottom and bracket using fasteners might be related.

They were built those weeks.  There are known trim tag abnormalities for first gens.

General Discussion / Re: Ignition coil

As William stated - the 270 coil is only technically correct for the 1969 Z28 with ducted hood.

Ah, okay.  So the Ignition Coils paragraph under the Engine section appears to be incorrect.  It reads:

67 V8:
1115267 - used on many applications including LF7(base 327), L35, and L78.
1115270 and another coil (possibly 290) - used on L30 and SS350 cars. It appears that the ignition resistance wire changed from 1.8 ohm to 1.3 ohm in production and so the coil may be an early vs late usage.

Looking at the 67 AIM under UPC 6 Sheet B5, it appears the coil assembly for V8s went from 204 to 242 and then 267.

Would that 270 coil The Parts Place sells (no dash between the B and R) be correct in appearance for a 67 L48?  Did anyone have thoughts or experience on the quality of these repop coils?

If you are also buying the seatback, ensure all the trim pieces are there. Finding them separately is near impossible.

Keep in mind that option UPC U80 was one rear speaker on the passenger side, as shown in the AIM.

Some places do still rebuild for R12, and (as of a few years ago) will ask how you want it rebuilt - R12 or R134. R12 is still out there, although very expensive.  I'd be careful about assuming what you have, unless you still have the paperwork.

I believe they/Eaton just sell new springs, and do not re-arch originals.
