As the old saying goes never assume.. Get some casting numbers, dates and pics of the trim tag & vin. You can pm them to me if you don't want to post them here. Also I asked previously for pics of fuel line coming up the subframe and to the fuel pump but you never posted them. Also get a pic of the firewall behind the distributor looking down.. Thanks, Darrell

I'll try. Couldn't see any casting numbers, or dates, or anything like that when I crawled under it because it's so tight. I'll snap a pic of the trim tag though. Car might be coming out of the garage today or tomorrow so I'll take a look.

You can add me to the list! Just emailed the guy who raced it in the 80s! Was an L78!
EDIT: Maybe. He said the code was ML on the block, which I know isn't right, since that would be a '67 327 block. EDIT 2: Now confirmed as originally having an MQ block! Wonder where that is? EDIT 3: MQ block is long gone. Oh well, at least I know it had one.

Don't take this the wrong way but a lot can happen in 12 years.. Keep searching and see if you can talk to the original owner or find some paperwork..

I have a Butternut Yellow 1968 RS/SS Camaro Convertible L78. High optioned with 4-speed, AM/FM Stereo 8-track multiplex, tic-toc-tach (6 grand redline of course) and gauges, tilt wheel and power top. I added a factory luggage rack so looks like a real sleeper. Owner's names back to new and was confirmed L78 by 2nd owner (1971-1973) whom purchased car from original owner. Original block but not original but correct heads. Purchased it from best friend's estate but I checked the car out for him back in 1999 before purchasing which was from a well known collector.
