My New '68 Camaro Z/28 Butternut Yellow

Tried to replace the shift boot today, didn't happen. Didn't know it was mounted under the tunnel. But before I put it back together, I took a couple shots of the plate with Part #... Danny

Here is the detailed cleaned deck lid pic I mentioned in an earlier post. Gotta love those original stickers hanging on for life... D

I am pretty sure it is mounted underneath so nothing gets in. Seems like they over did it on this idea. My Mustang is simple you tuck the boot underneath the carpet and then the trim plate holds it in place. Not going to prevent water from coming in, if you submerge...

[dannystarr]

Yes they really wanted to be safe I guess. My old '65 mustang took 5 minutes from the top. That's ok, the one in place is original. But has a big split in it. I was just trying to quiet it down until the big show. No biggie... Found the other weights, there are about 18 or 19 that are correct. So I feel better that it's a good start. I wanna be standing there with the weights in my hand while the new tires are being mounted. But like Charlie mentioned, I can just go back and do it myself with the matching size weight later if I miss 3 or 4.. D

Danny....shouldn't be any of the shifter boot and retainers beneath the tunnel....all above the tunnel.  The 1968 AIM, UPC M20, Sheet A1 shows the rubber boot seats on top of the tunnel, then a retainer sits on top of the boot and screws secure it to the tunnel.  The carpet then fills in around the retainer and a cover then screws down on the retainer thus covering up the edges of the carpet.

Well that's not the way it is, as far as I can see there is a part of the boot all the way around, UNDER the tunnel. I will pull it back apart and take some pictures and post... D

Here is some of the correct batch that I found. Will be on the look-out for more.. D

Pulled the driver side view mirror. Forgot how hard it is to take a picture of silvered glass.    Can anyone tell me if all these numbers line up with the car, and if the parts are assembly line correct? I assume 5 = May  and  8 = 1968... What does the CBC / DMI / C-2 / B12 Stand for ...Danny

[dannystarr]

Never noticed the word "CAMARO" right on top of the gasket... D

Did more research and found out DMI stands for "Donnelly Mirror Inc." Still curious about the gasket saying 'CAMARO" and the other things mentioned. D

[BULLITT65]

I have a similar gasket on mine that said "Camaro" made me think it was reproduction, but maybe it's original?

STILL Kicking myself in the A** for dumping my original air filter cause I thought it was dirty. Hoping to make myself feel better... I dug out some parts that were on the car when purchased. Hoping they are maybe even assembly line correct. First up is an cap and rotor. Danny

[dannystarr]

rotor.. Has Delco Remy Made in USA and a "U" on top, and the number 5 embossed on the back.

[dannystarr]

a set of wires that have no quarter dating, just "Packard 440 USA"... Danny
