Don't know yet. I haven't pulled the covers. I looked at the dates through the breather holes.

I bet there 840's...BKH

[SuperNovaSS]

I checked the heads. There are in fact 840's.
What is the BT code rear? Did any X66 COPO cars come with an SS emblem on the steering wheel. I checked the trans code today. It has a CX code on the tag. As far as I can tell this code was only used on L72 and ZL1 cars. Any input? I also want to thank everybody for all the help!


Thanks,


Jason

According to the ByTheNumbers and MacNeish's
'69 Z/SS fact book, BT rearend is 3.55 POSI. Assembled Jan 13th, '69 in a carrier cast January 8th, '69. Produced at Detroit Gear and Axle, 2nd shift.

Again, re MacNeish's book, the CX trans was behind all solid lifter big block Camaros that year, be they L78 396's or L72 427's, or ZL1's, I suppose. "This trans utilized a different valve body, extra clutches, and a higher shift point than the "CE" Turbo 400"

Thanks for the info on the codes. I was going on the info from the CRG site.

BKH,

What type fuel pumps do your cars have? This one has a Stewart Warner unit behind the passenger wheelwell.

It has the stock AC mechanical unit. No evidence of a fuel pump ever in the trunk. Does this car have the liquid tire chain option? ..BKH

Fred Gibb sold alot of CE replacement motors, especially at the race track. I have a reliable source who worked for Fred Gibb, he mentioned selling lots of motors, shipped on pallets, stacked to the ceiling in the shop. They ordered them 50 at a time. Also lots of transmissions, anyone ever hear of a CE M22 or M21?

I can only reasonably theorize that Dick may have ordered some of his blocks, especially in '68-'69, from Fred. They were at the track together quite a bit in the 68-71 era.

Delivery of motors and tranny's to customers at the track was an everyday occurrance, per my source.
