How do you tell the difference between a 2" GM Cowl Hood(68 or 69 Camaro) and a 'reproduction 2" cowl hood?

How does a person identify Original GM Camaro DOORS(67-68 or 69) from 'reproduction' doors?? Is there a 'production' number stamped on Original Camaro DOORS??  Email:  mandm4boys@verizon.net

Thanks

I'm replacing sub frame rubber bushings. All 4 rubber bushings(with steel sleeves) are about 2 1/2" O.D. But 2 bushings are about .700" thick, and the other 2 bushings are about .900" thick. Which goes where?? I've heard the 2-.900"thick bushings go between the floor and the sub frame by the fire wall location(on the frame), and the 2 thinner bushings(.700") go in the rear of the sub frame. Is this true??

Also, what O.D. are the core support bushings(to the sub frame) and how thick should they be??

I have a GM positraction case #EB30174, which is for a 4series ring & pinion. Does anyone out there know where I can find a diagram of that specific positraction and all it's parts, hopefully also identified??

Thanks Ed. Yes, I'll pull the side cover anyway now. The "PO307" stands for March 7th 1966 out of a Chevelle. How did you determine that please??

I've got a Muncie 4 speed trans. I've identified it's a '65-'67 trans. I think. It has a 3885010 main case, a 3857584 tail shaft case, and a 3884685 side cover with 3/8 fine thread male studs(to attach the shifter rods).  I've also identified the "circles" on each case. It has 'NO' notches on the shaft and no drain plug(Did all M22's have a drain plug??)It has the letters/numbers on stamped on bearing retainer(piece inbetween the main case & the tail shaft case) "PO307". What is that??(rebuilder's #?). 

Then stamped on the main case, bigger numbers/letters(looks like from GM--like stamping the factory would do) "6Z142867"(or "1" maybe the last number instead of "7"). Is that some sort of factory number??  Thought I'd ask before pulling the side cover and count gears. Should inspect anyway. Help Please.

JohnZ, thanks for the info on the weld tabs. I've never seen a 2nd design '69 trunk lid. Can you please describe what they look like.

Thanks 68Z for the picture and the explanation.  What are the "tabs" and on just 69's??

Thanks Jerry. Did all '67's have no spoilers??  On '68 & '69 did emblem holes have to be 'redrilled' if a spoiler option was added??

Thanks Jon.  I was also wondering if anybody has any info on the "3 or "4" holes. What's that about??

Thanks. I was aware of the hood stamping and other front end sheet metal, and their locations. Just trying to find out more info about the trunk stampings.

Where is the 'date stamp' or 'run number' on a '67 lid, a '68 lid and a '69 lid??  Also, how are they interpreted or identified?? 

Where's a good place to find that manual??   B.Dalton's book stores??  Online??  Amazon??

Thanks,  Merv
