Can I get a link to the thread?

Look in the “Restoration” section in this forum. I brought it to the top…

Interestingly enough, back in 1990 or so, I installed one with adhesive backing. When I wrecked the car, it went away. Now I don’t even see anyone selling that style…just the one pins.

Honestly, your car is way too early to have these factory installed. Dealer TSB installed, most likely. Even then it’s got to be pretty rare. Did they install the side baffles rubbers with screws?

L30—To have the pins holding the seal?
No side baffles-Tis a convertible.

Way too early to have everything….unless it was installed by the service department.

It’s held on with clips. The later core supports are pierced with holes across the top to push the clips into. Non-AC cars have dimples where the holes are. Non of the repro seals have aprovision for the clips/ pegs. Tough to find…

Steve

Just to clarify I believe "Dimples in core supports" started late '68 model run.

Steve, curious because your 68 is that late of a build, does the core support have the holes for the 69 style condenser?

All the relevant 67-69 TSB's are on site. 68: http://www.camaros.org/library.shtml#doc68
I question that it was a late release. The AIM show a 11/3/67 drawing date and no revisions.
Time to query owners of 68's with AC.

[68L30]

The TSB states 6-19-68. If it was done prior to this date there would be NO reason for the TSB. That’s very clear. The service addition is very different from the factory mount in how things are attached. I cant’t tell you why the AIM shows one thing, but dated at the tail end of 67, you can bet it didnt happen till later in the model year. Survivor Cars I’ve documented as late as April had no provisions for any of the seals and baffles. Late June / July do. Surprised nobody has commented on the other link I posted in our Restoration section. We beat this to death back in 2007….

It has a “68 production run” core support. A/C lines go under the support. It’s never been out of the car.

I am not questioning the originality but was wondering if there was bleed over into 68 being that late into production.  Thanks for the clarification.

[68L30]

Completely understood, I just wanted to be clear that without a doubt, this O7E car came as stated. Pretty close to A final call in 68.
