Since I don't know anything about '69 Camaros, I have to ask...didn't they use a gang holder to stamp these numbers and, if so, how would they become so misaligned? Did you check them against your tranny to confirm fonts etc.? IS the tranny stamping skewed also?

Since it's stamped in rough cast, I think it just looks skewed because each number isn't stamped to the same depth. An optical illusion.

Sure Ed. Clean the pad best you can and take 6-10 photos from all angles with the macro setting and mail the uncompressed unedited pics to my gmail account: [email protected]. I had the exhaust manifolds off when I took my pics -- maybe if you can get the car up in the air, it'd be easier to get the photos.
