Re: X22 COPO
The Assembly manual indicates a hole relocation with-in the first month of production but is not for wiring, it was for the location of the piercing to mount the solenoid relay and it only moved the relay an inch or so. Another issue would be that the wiring has the grommet attached and is not really able to moved 2 feet (which is what would be required in order to install correctly.) Additionally Dave Beem's 12C ZL2 Z28 has the wiring in the normal location above the fuse box, as does every early ZL1 and Yenko I have ever laid eyes upon. Not saying it didn't happen however that is a long way from saying it did.

It has to be a unrestored X66 or X22 COPO. Restored ones can have been drilled above Fuse box.

Re: X22 COPO
I talked to Jerry M and tried to get him to comment about this here on Yenko.net.
He told me that he has looked at many early COPOs. And it would be shame not to restore this one, but it will be expensive.

Re: X22 COPO
I looked at my unrestored big block ZL2 equipped car firewall and there are no holes where you circled yellow for wiring clip, the relay hole shows no indication of the star washer marks, the ground wire (green circle) is much higher than the factory ground location on my car. There seems to be another extra small hole between the blue circled relay hole and green circled ground wire hole.
The factory firewall has a number of dimples in the steel. The blue and yellow circled holes look to use one of the dimples (blue circle) and may just be holes for an aftermarket coil/ignition box that was firewall mounted. I've seen these paired holes many times in this area of the firewall. If Jerry is prepared to verify this as a Copo by some extra firewall holes and hard to see crayon markings then by all means get his blessings on paper. Good luck in your continued research on this car.

Re: X22 COPO
In such cases, your Big Block car is not a real ZL2 car.
It says in the AIM that the holes should be there And as Firstgenaddict says that it must be as stated in the AIM [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: X22 COPO
Im sorry camaromb. Its not showing in the AIM that the hole yellow markt first picture should be there.
I was wrong. But the second picture yellow mark should be there if it was a ZL2
