Re: L89 Resto!!
 

We would like to share this info with true supercar fans and hope it would not be used in a negative manner, It seems all these cars were different and alot of marks could be meaningless and random, I would like to thank all ahead of time. Any thoughts on the markings would be great!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Sam , I could not tell you for sure if the markings were on the box or not but I suspect that they passed under the box, Thanks

Are the Aluminum Heads the originals?
If so,what are their casting dates,& what is the block casting date?

Re: L89 Resto!!
 

Hi The cylinder heads are the early 842's with the plugs on the ends. One cylinder head was replaced( this is the only replaced part!) The dates are not in front of me for the heads but they pre-dated the car by a few months unlike all other components. The block is dated I-26-8 with a pad stamp of T1005JJ stamped behind the alternator

Re: L89 Resto!!
 

Here are a couple of guesses:

2 2 2 is actually Z22, representing the RS option

N10 is dual exhaust, could the 0 0 8 represent NC8 chambered exhaust?

34 might be for N34, wood grain plastic wheel?

The V 37 looks more like 437, which could be short for 12437, V8 coupe not 6 cyl coupe 12337 ?

Or could it be a Y 37 (don't know what that would be)

Just a few guesses..

Very Cool, thanks for posting.

All the codes remaining on the firewall, like N10, M21, Z22, Y437, D80, OU8(how about C08-vinyl top), etc. were put on by Fisher after the was assembled but before it was trimed out and primed. Fisher then painted the car and then blacked out the firewall and then added the PTB stamps just before sending the car over to the GM side of the plant. The TIIR (or TUR) was put on by GM on their side of the plant.

Re: L89 Resto!!
 

Yup, I'd say that is a Z22 for RS and That could be 437 also. The 34 is alone though, Very cool.. Thanks, I think Mark is right about the vinyl top code also. I'll dig up some more pictures

Re: L89 Resto!!
 

The V 37 could be VE3 for endura bumper, also check for the number on the interior top side of the heater box in orange crayon. It may match something on the firewall..BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: L89 Resto!!
 

Interesting stuff!! You are right about having the camera to document these details. One of my L78 Novas had the letters VL78 written on the firewall. FYI...N10 is dual exhaust on a Nova don't know how that relates to Camaros. Good luck with the project.TW https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
