Default Re: Jon Mello's 67 Z/28 Survivor

The large piece of paper above is called a UOIT (Uniform Option Identification Tag). I found it under the carpet of the car in the driver's side footwell. My UOIT shows the AS1 (headrests), AS2 (shoulder belts), C48 (heater delete), M20 (four speed) and Z28 options which are spelled out on the cowl tag and it literally translates the cowl tag codes for each particular car it is installed in. This one is hard to read (in a picture) because it was lying on the asphalt pad but I've got another one from a plain-Jane Camaro that is nicely readable. Even though my car has an M21 the UOIT says M20 because M20 is the generic term for any four speed. Even a Saginaw would be shown as an M20. The UOITs are the only documents that I know of that officially (because they are an actual GM document) translate the information on the cowl tag. They are an extremely rare find but I know of another couple that were found in '67 Z28s and one from an L78. These only appear to be found in LOS-built cars.

The spark plug heat shields are kind of a poor picture but I threw that in just to show that they are in pristine condition because they were pulled off immediately when the factory headers were installed.

Thanks to Zedder and Top Stock for the compliments. Yes, it would be fun to take the car to the track and see what it would do. I haven't done that yet.
