for sure get a pic of the cowl tag just to check it does not have something special on it...send it in and we can help.

Does it have a single 3/8 fuel line?

Thanks for all the help. I will get a picture of the cowl tag tomorrow and check the fuel line.

Thanks again!

HawaiianCamaro (thanks) helped me decode the trim tag as follows:

02D = Built the Fourth week of February.
68-12437 = Coupe.
NOR = Built in Norwood Ohio.
712 = Standard Black Bucket Seats.
J-2 = Lower Color is Rallye Green and the Vinyl Top Color is Black.

I guess nothing special on tag. I will be getting the car on a lift tomorrow to check fuel line, rear and trans. Thanks for the help. Let you know what I find.

All 68's had a single fuel line.

Take a very GOOD picture of how the fuel line terminates.
Therein lies a very big clue,(SB -vs- BB) if, now if it has not been altered.

375hp, you need legit paper or born with components that all point to required equip,,,,

Auto??

Thanks Jim. Car is a 4 speed. Checked the numbers today on transmission. It is a 1968 Muncie but a replacement transmission. Had opportunity to check fuel line to see if 3/8 thanks to Stefano's tip. It is 3/8. There is only one line; however, the clips that the line is mounted in have a place for a return line even though there is no return line. The 3/8 line runs in the top clip, if that makes any sense.

Didn't pay attention to how fuel line terminates. Can you give me a tip as to what about how it terminates I should be looking for. And is it at the tank or fuel pump that you are speaking about?

Also, does anyone have a picture that they can post to show where the speedometer cable should exit on a Big Block Muncie car? Thanks again.
