Re: camaro info needed
When you have a chance see if you can post pics of the trim tag and vin. You can also e-mail them to me and I will look them over for you. The trim tag option of 3L is for the RS option. The 4P can be both SS350 as well as an L30/M20 car. The L30 option is the 275hp 327. One of the notes for these is that they mroe often than not seem to have come down the line with a 12 bolt rear with a single passenger side traction arm. There are two types of these arms, the first early one is a round one and the second later one is a square one. These were installed to help control wheel hop that was a problem on these cars due to the shock mounting style (both on front side of axles). They corrected the problem for good in 68 when they went to the staggered shock system. In the absence of riginal paperwork I do not know of any way to tell the difference between the L30 and the SS. If the car does have the original engine though you will be able to tell by the stamping. The L30 engine will have a code ending with MK without smog and ML with. If it is an SS 350 car it will have MS for non smog and MT with. Thse four designations are for 3/4 speed cars only. I hope this helps.
