Thanks Steve, Yes I know that you have seen lots of survivor cars, and I respect your opinion greatly. I wonder if it was a early/late production thing? my car is 06A Z28 Norwood and the others are 06A COPO Norwood, 08? L89 Norwood, and also 2- 70,s 02B LA, and 05E Norwood. I wonder why GM would just use the hairpin type clip on reverse? FWIW, I have seen lots of early and mid 70,s Camaro,s and Firebirds with this hairpin clip.
As you say assembly manual is not always accurate, but I have never seen cotter pins used in 69 up. I believe the Hurst type clip pictured by OP is a later issue deal.
I know I have some NOS hairpin type clips, will try to find them this weekend and check the part number in my earliest dated parts book which I think is 71, then repost findings.
