Hello and many thanks to the excellent post and information I've obtained. I am in the process of restoring my 69 X-22; L-78 coupe. It is approximately 80% complete and I am striving to restore it as accurately as possible. I need some help with the car's interior option(s). It has a standard black interior, however it does have wood grain panels on the dash around the headlight/wiper switch area, as well as the radio controls, but there was no evidence of any further wood grain on the passenger side (I.E. glove box or surrounding area). The car has a center console, with the factory gauge package, as well as the passenger side grab handle and bright trim around the clutch, brake and gas pedals. What option code(s) have i described and am i missing anything, such as the glove box light and or aux. lighting? Also, would the standard pebble grained SS wheel be correct for what i have described? Your expert advise is greatly appreciated.

Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Crane Cams and Crane "Super Port Flow" heads

« on: June 16, 2012, 04:54:51 PM »

Funny how things develope, circa 1981 I remember being in high school and taking a ride north from S.Miami to "Crane Cams" in Hallandale. my buddy was picking up a set of oval port B.B. Chevy heads, he had dropped off three weeks prior to be re-worked. Those heads turned his 427 equipped 69 camaro into a fire snorting monster. Shortly thereafter, I found my self selling scores of "Crane" products at Boston's largest speed shops. It was there that  I was liucky enough to get a hold of some "Crane Fireball" 292 small block chevy heads. As I recall, these were a pair of the finest street heads I have ever used on a 350 based engine and had great rev capability. Advance another ten years and I find myself working in "Crane's" original city Hallandale Florida, now known as Hallandale Beach. "Crane had made the move to Daytona about 1990, a few years before I got here, but the building still exited till a few years ago. I would often stare at the building and dream of the "Glory Days" of the past. It was a sad day when the building was knocked down in 2004 for the eventual condos that now reside there.
