Hello guys I'm new to this forum, I have been reading the forum for several years but this topic spiked my interest. I have been owning a 1969 camaro SS 350 for 39 years. Its a 01D   (early Van Nuys car) production Daytona yellow with a cowl induction hood.  The air cleaner is the flat bottom and have all the wiring harness that is correct. I know the two previous owners and they said the hood was on the car when they bought it.  I do not know who the original owner was. I have one issue is that the wiring harness hole is not in the location above the fuse block, in fact its on the opposite side of the the brake booster. The hole is drilled where a dimple was from the photos I have seen. It could not have been drilled out with the brake booster installed. Also it has the non SS hood springs. The original cowl hood had some serious rust issues and I purchased a new one about 25 years ago from the a local Chevy dealership. So I do not know what the stamp on the drivers side of the hood was. The big question I have is............Do any of you guys know of any early cowl equipped cars that the wire harness hole in a different location?  Maybe some of the early cowl equipped cars from Van Nuys are the same.

A friend of mine has a 12C Van Nuys Hugger Orange RS/Z that is the earliest verifiable documented cowl hood car known, He has LOADS of docs and the car has never been restored. Let me see where his wiring exits.

[69Z28-RS]

and try to find out the date code on his hood? *S*

[firstgenaddict]

His comes out above the fuse box.
It sounds like someone put it through the auto speedo cable hole or the kickdown switch location?

Just updated the model, it was in my sig.

I failed to mention that it not and Rally Sport and I do not have a gauge package.  Its an automatic trans car. Of course I want to have some evidence that it was factory installed.  I could not have been drilled or punched with the brake booster in place, also it could not have drilled or punched from under the dash.  I think highly unlikely that someone at a dealership removed the power brake booster to drill  or punch a 3/4" hole for the grommet. The penetration is clean as if it was punched.  My car has all of the components for a functional hood complete flat bottom air cleaner, soleniod, pedal switch, pedal bracket for the switch, relay etc. Previous owners history back to 1970 was as is. Not possible to locate original owner. Back then guys just wanted the cowl induction hood and and not interested if it was functionable. Who was restoring a Camaro back in 1970 back to origional. I hope someone else replies with information with the wire harness hole in not to specification location. Where are the guys with the high end fully loaded 69 camaros?    I'll try to post a picture of the location of the harness hole. Thanks for the reply.

[firstgenaddict]

get a picture from the inside as well, where the harness comes through the dash mat (firewall pad) and goes towards the fuse box.


The pink and brown wire (to the left side of the photo above the fuse box) are coming through in the correct cowl induction piercing in this photo.



If I am reading you correctly you are saying your harness comes through somewhere near the round punch out in the top left of this photo? Correct?
   

[toddstoys]

OK.......I'll try to expain without pictures.  If you were standing in front of the car looking at the break booster, the location of the vacuum check valve (in a straight line)  the piercing is on the firewall  2 1/2" below that check valve. Also I failed to mention its a air conditioned car with a console. I do not have that much clearance like in your picture.  I will send pictures ASAP, won't be untill later. Thanks for your help, really appreciated.

[ZLP955]

Can you identify which hole the wiring comes through (if any) in the image below?

[toddstoys]

OK.... just got home and measured its a 1" hole. It is for #9 on the drawing for C-60 air condition vacuum lines. The cowl induction wire harness is routed through that hole also. It has been like that since I purchased the car in 1974. I attached picture from CRG with a white arrow pointing to the location. The cowl set up may have been dealer installed..... I don't know ?  Have you ever seen several harness or vacuum sharing penetrations in the firewall ? Thanks guys for you help.
