Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Camaro Styling History - (Interior)
The interior styling of the car was developed with the exterior, and carries the sports theme also.
Vinyl trimmed bucket front seats, in a choice of four colors, were standard with the rear bench unit simulting the front bucket apperance.
The Camaro instrument panel recesses instruments and tell-tale lights in two elliptical bezels. The high beam indicator is located between the bezels. Control knobs, located high on the insturment cluster, feature new "mushroom" type styling. heater controls, radio provision and ash tray are centrally located on the instrument panel, and are mounted in a black finished trip plate that is framed by a bright metal molding. Heater controls are the horizontal sliding type. A stowage compartment is located at the right side of the instrument panel.
The Custom Interior Opotion provides seven all-vinyl deluxe interiors and special trip appointments at extra cost for the Camaro. The Strato-Bucket front seats have a two-tone treatment effected by a band of color framing embossed seat and backrest panels. The rear bench seat contiunes the front seat pattern, giving a bucket seat appearance.
Door trim panels feature a molded vinyl panel with integral armrests and a carpet kick panel. Door handles are mounted in a depression in the armrest and door lock buttons are bright. Circular lights mounted in the "sail" panel, or roof rear quarter, provide interior lighting for the sport coupe. For the convertible, lights are mounted under the instrument panel. In addition, the Sport Coupe receives rear seat armrests with ash trays. A special deluxe styled oval steering wheel, molded luggage compartment mat an dhood sound insulation complete the deluxe option.
An optional front bench featuring bucket styled backrests and a fold down center armrest is also available. A fold down rear seat back, which provides an additional carpeted stowage area, is available as optional equiopment for both the Camaro Sport Coupe and Convertible.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Camaro Styling History Part 5
Two distinctively different front end treatments were available to the Camaro buyer as part of the opportunity to tailor the vehicle to the buyers preferences. In the standard car, single exposed circular headlights are located at the extremes of a "jet engine" nose opening, accented by the sharp definition and depth of the full-width black grille. Circular parking lights, postioned just inboard of the headlights, contribute to the very "business-like" shape.
A completely different second radiator grille features concealed headlights. here the black deeply sectioned rectangular lattice extends the full width of the openign, uninterrupted by lights.
The headlights are concealed behind electrically operated doors that fully integrate with the grille in the closed position. Rectrangular parking signal lights are located in the valance panel.
The concealed headlights are part of an optional "RS" or Rally Sport package, which also includes a distinctive side treatment make up of paint stripes and bright moldings and specific real lamp treatment. "RS" emblems throughout the car further indentify the option.
SS signifies a third Camaro variation, the performance machine of the line combining distinguishing appearance and extra-duty chassis components with either a 350 cubic inch V-8 engine available exclusively for the car or the 396 cubic inch V-8 engine.
At the front of the car, a special hood with raised central area and simulated louvers, an "SS" grille emblem, and a wide " bumblebee" paint band around the front panel and fender nose indentify the engine options. "SS" letters on the front fender and an "SS" emblem on a special gas filler cap provide side and rear indentification. An "SS" horn buttor cap is added to the interior.
In addition to the larger displacement engine, and specific chassis equipment, wide oval nylon red strip tires are part of the package.
The "RS" and "SS" options can be combined for still another apperarance.

A conituation of the 1967 Camaro Styling History
Flow visualization studies were also conducted, using the ink stain method. After the flow pattern was established in the tunnel, photographic records of the results were made.
The test model was sculptured in clay on a wood frame, to an accurate quarter size representation of the Sport Coupe model. Model weight was added and distributed front to rear to simulate a Camaro equipped with a V-8 engine and passenger load. A major advantage of clay for the test model was the ease with which variations and changes could be made in the tunnel and tested immediately. A modeler accompanied the Chevrolet and Staff stylists, engineers and test observers just for this purpose.
Final aerodynamic coefficent data and the flow visualization studies confirmed the basic functional aspect of the Camaro styling, and allowed perfecting of the approach in several particulars. Revised fairing of the front fender leading surfaces and a reduction in the front valance rake were two changes resulting from the wind tunnel tests.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Camaro Styling History Part 3
As the Camaro styling studies progressed, aerodynamic qualities were considered analytically in consultation with research engineers.
A detailed check and test of aerodynamic properties was made in early 1965 as the final shape of the exterior surfaces became well defined. An accurate 1/4 scale clay model of the Camaro was subjected to intensive and detailed wind tunnel testing is a modern, fully instrumented tunnel facility at Dallas, Texas. Directions stability as well as power requirements and flow charateristics were given a great deal of attention by the stylists and research engineers of the Corporation and design engineers from Chevrolet.
The model was tested in the presence of a ground plane mounted on a turntable which permitted a varible yaw angle from right to left through the straight ahead position during a single test.
The model was pitched at various attack angles from run to run, as was the height in relation to the ground plane. Through instrumentation in the turntable, six forces and moments acting on the model were measured during each test run. Lift, drag, and side forces as well as pitching, rolling and yawing moments were recorded instantaneously and continuously as the yaw angle varied.
Over a total time of 78 hours in the tunnel, 76 data runs were made consisting of yaw runs through 60 degrees right to 18 degrees left. A fixed pitch angle was used during each, but was varied as much as three degrees up and down from run to run.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Camaro Styling History Part 2 The Hood Design
The long hood-short deck initial requirement is very evident in the side view. Just as important is the turn under of the sides, front and rear, which give the car a flattened cylindrical cross section. A similar theme is carried throughout the front and rear views by the proportionally greater overall width, extra wide tire tread and curved contours of the body sides. One interesting styling aspect of these rounded beauty surfaces is the feeling of mothion achieved by light reflections while the car is stationary as well as moving. This caracterizes the basic theme of the Camaro: smooth, horizontally accented surfaces blended together into a aerodynamically functional shape, a clean, straight-forward piece of sculpture.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Camaro Styling History Part 1
Camaro styling began, as it does for all new cars, with dreaming and sketching; a great deal of ceiling gazing and a great many artist's drawings.
Ideas from everywehere, from past and current cars to the "way-out" futuristic were considered, mulled over, and drawn from every angle by Styling. However, before commitment to a firm styling approach, a more pratical design determination was made - that of the passenger envelope. Since the basic specification of the Camaro prescribed a four passenger vehicle, the dimensions of such a seating package were developed to meet anthropometric, comfort and operational standards.
Essential spartial requirements of the primary passenger carrying function were worked out, first on paper and then in a full size buck. As the three dimensional passenger package took a definite firm direction, it was married with the developing styling theme. A full size clay model of the more promising ideas was sculptured. Many approaches to the front, side, rear, and green house areas were tried, then rejected or tentatively approved. As the general beauty surfaces were developed and approved, more an dmore attention was focused on details. Various front grille and headlamp treatments were tried along with similar rear lamp details. As the more promising considerations were accepted, the clay model began to appear more and more as it would be offered to the customer. This process continued through consultation after constultation with design, production, and research engineers; manufacturing specialists; and sales representatives, until the model acquired a polish and detail that would deceive the uninformed eye as to how much of a real car it is.

1967 Camaro - Radiator and Grille - Steve's Camaro Parts San Bruno, CA
The radiator (fig. 49 is of the cross-flow design with the inlet and outlet located diagonally opposite. The cross-flow design permits a lower vehicle silhouette whild still maintaining adequate cooling capacity.
All radiator hoses and radiators are new and perculiar to the Camaro. A 15 pound pressure cap is used to seal the system.
The full width one-peice plastic grille with a centrally-mounted grille emblem provides openings for attachment of parking lamps, and partially borders the single left and right headlamp bezels. Upper and lower anodized aluminum grille mouldings rivet to the grille with the assemply mounting to the forward edge of a header panel and to the upper edge of the valence panel, which is painted body color. The header panel forms a tie between the front fenders and grille thus eliminating the need for a front fender tie bar. The valence panel attaches vertically to the fender extension, and provides openings for the protrusion of the bumper brakets for bumper mounting. The hook lock support forms a tie betwen valence panel, header panel, and radiator support. the radiator support provides attachment for the headlamp housing.

1967 Camaro - Head Lamp Information - Steve's Camaro Parts San Bruno, CA
Camaro uses single headlamps (fig.48). The Rally Sport model headlamps are covered by a retractable section of the radiator grille when lamps are not used. The section of the grille covering the headlamps folds back when lights are required ; the headlamps are stationary. The covering is retracted by a small electric motor mounted to the headlamp housing. The headlamps are automatically uncovered when the headlight switch is pulled "ON" for illumination. If at any time the electrical circuit becomes inoperative, the lamps can be uncovered manually. The ignition switch must be "ON" in order to operate the electric motors.
Base Camaro parking lamps are located in the radiator grille. while the Rally Sport parking lamps are in the valence panel, For styling reasons, the lens will be white and an amber glass bulb will be used. All Camaro parklamps require a separate ground wire because of the plastic grille.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1969 Camaro History
Of all first and second generation Camaros, the 1969 model stands alone as the most unique of the bunch. Except for the hood, roof and deck lid, no sheet metal carried over from 1968. Neither did the instrument panel, which was completely new for 1969 and would change again in 1970.
Why did Chevrolet go to all the trouble and expense to freshen the Camaro with a deeply recessed grille and scalloped wheel openings for 1969 when an all-new replacement was due one year later? Truth be known, Chevrolet was locked in a knock-down, drag-out battle for the number –one sales position with Ford in the late 1960s and a three year old Camaro needed help if it was to gain any ground on archrival Mustang, which was all new inside and out for 1969.
Other elements set the 1969 Camaro apart from all the others. A few hundred 1969 Camaros were factory equipped with a 427 cu-in. V8, either the all-aluminum ZL-1 or iron-block L-72. While the 427 V8 option never appeared on the dealer order forms, these could be special-ordered under codes COPO 9560 and COPO 9561. The resulting COPO rat-motor Camaros (COPO standing for Central Office Production Order) are valuable collector items today. Along with the COPO Camaros was an electrically operated, cowl induction hood, with a ram air set-up, which could also be ordered on SS and Z/28 models. Also 4-wheel disc brakes (adapted from the Corvette) could be factory ordered as options on the Z/28 and SS. Headlamp washers made their first appearance in 1969, standard on the RS and optional on all other models.
Various under the skin improvements made their debut in 1969. Single-piston, floating caliper front disc brakes replaced the corrosion-prone four piston design of 1967-68. Also new was a steering column mounted ignition lock, variable ratio power steering and a medium duty, 3 speed Turbo Hydra-matic 350 transmission option for all applications except Z/28 (4 speed manual mandatory) and SS396 (which got the heavy-duty Turbo Hydra-matic 400 when an automatic transmission was specified). Under the hood, the 230 cu-in inline-6 and venerable 327 V8 made their last appearances and a new low compression 307 cu-in, 2 bbl V8 was introduced. And the gas filler neck was moved to a concealed location behind the license plate and beneath the rear bumper.
The ever popular Rally Sport option continued to use vacuum operated hideaway headlamps, but for 1969, new louvered “see-through” headlamp doors were used to permit night driving in the event the doors became stuck in the closed position. For the second time in three years, Camaro was named as the Official Pace Car for the 1969 Indianapolis 500, and Chevrolet commemorated the event by producing 3675 Pace Car replicas. Sold under the RPO code Z11, all were orange-on-white SS/RS convertibles. Model year 1969 also marked the last time a convertible would be offered in the Camaro line until 1986.
A total of 243,085 1969 Camaros were produced during its extended model year, which ran 18 months- well into the 1970 calendar year.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Front Brake Discs
The purpose of this article is to reemphasize Chevrolet's recommendation concerning the servicing of front brake discs.
Manufacturing tolerance for flatness and paralelism of the brake disc is held to .0005" while lateral runout of the brake disc surfaces cannot exceed .004" total indication reading. Excessive lateral runout of the brake disc will cause a "knocking back" of the pistons, which will create increased pedal travel and vibration when the brakes are applied. The finish of the frictional surfaces must be maintained at 30-50 micro inches.
In view of the foregoing close tolerances, machining of the discs is not recommeded by Chevrolet. It has been found that, once a wear pattern has be established, disc brakes are less susceptable to scoring problems than are drumm brakes. Disc surface scoring imperfections less than .015 in dept have no effect on disc brake operation.
When the total disc thickness is less than .965 for the 1" thick disc it should be replaced. Disc thickness less than this can permit the shoes to come out of contact with the shoe abutments and cause malfunction.
Below is a Disc Brake Diagnosis chart.
