copo axle codes

[Kurt S]

Keith,
I agree that they should have different codes, but from what I know, there is a good chance they didn't.
BTW, I only know of one 69 COPO ordered with 4.56 gears. Anyone know of others?

I mentioned Jerry MacNeish's book in my last post. I have found the specific page, again the book is "The Definitive 1969 Camaro Z/28-SS396 Fact Book". Page #s 57,and 58 are about 12 Bolt Camaro Rears. There is specific "BE" COPO info on page #s 59 thru 62.

On page 58 of Jerry's book he states " the lowest RPO rear axle available was 4.10. A 4.56 or 4.88 ring and pinion had to be dealer installed. However, factory installed 4.56 and 4.88 ratios were available through COPO ordering info. COPO/9511DT is a 1969 Camaro with 4.56 rear axle ratio"
This agrees with the 1969 Camaro Power Teams chart which was used when ordering a car. The 1969 Power Teams show 4.10 as the highest ratio. The 1968 Power Teams chart goes up to a 4.88 ratio.
