Decoding/Numbers / The assembly process of the Camaro

« on: March 06, 2022, 01:28:21 AM »

I have a request of the CRG fellas. I am interested in learning how the build process of the Camaro took place. What happened first, when was the TT attached, when were the engine blocks and transmissions stamped, was the rear end assembled and stamped by Detroit gear and how was this information attached to the protecto plate. All of these kinds of things. I vaguely remember some articles John Z wrote which I think dealt with this process. Does anybody have a link? Thanks in advance   Frank

I don't have a NCRS report. I do know when the original owner took possession of the car. It doesn't help much though

Sorry, was too focused on just the numbers. The complete information is axle tube QY 0502 G1 E and the protecto plate QY 0422 G1 E   Frank

 Haven't posted here in a while. The TT on my car is 04C which would make the body build the week of April 15 to 18, 1969. I have since learned there was no Camaro production from April 3 to 14. So I am assuming 04C builds would have moved to April 21 to 25. The casting date of the rear axle is D29, which supports my assumption. The protecto plate is dated 0422 G. The rear axle tube is stamped 0502 G1 E. Both sides have the 7206 stamped/numbered JL8 axles. This is in a factory JL8 car. I welcome any comments or opinions on the numbers discrepancy between the protecto plate and axle tube stamping.    Frank

So Ed if the POP shows the rear coded for a JL8 rear, does that then confirm rear discs? So no separate coding except for the JL8 rear? Correct?

Ed that position is filled by the rear end code and date. None the less, looking at all the info on my plate I see now there is nothing to designate JL8 brakes.

Was there a position on the propecto plate in 69 to designate the JL8 option? Where would it be on the plate using the grid shown on CRG. Thanks
