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.

With front bucket seats and bench type rear seat as standard equipment, both models are rated as 4-passenger vehicles.  The overall lenght is 184.7 inches on a wheelbase of 108 inches.  This new car is proportioned in a long low silhouette featuring a long hood line and a relatively short rear deck. These proportions are attained by shifitng the wheelbase to give a long 36.6 inch front overhang and a relatively short rear projection. In a similar manner, the instrument panel, cowl, and front seats are positioned more to the rear than in the other Chevrolet car lines, except Corvette.

The mechanical equipment of the car is conventionally arranged with front mounted engine and rear wheel drive.  Body-frame and isolated separate frame construction are combined in a practical new approach for a car of this size, to give the stipulated ride quality and manufacturing flexibility. The Camaro is, in effect, divided into four major construction groups:

• Bolted-on front end sheetmetal
• Unitized body construction with the rear framing elements incorporated into the underbody
• Driveline, solid driving rear axle and single leaf rear suspension conbinded into a simple and efficient Hotchkiss drive system
• A front chassis unit consisting of the engine, transmission, front suspension, front brakes, and steering gear and linkage mounted on a separate, extended rail partial front frame.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Interesting Camaro Background

Chevrolet started the car's final design in late 1964. The following were the defining terms and were the baselines on the Camaro's design.

Chevrolet derived these terms from the buying public and they were right:

• Distinctively modern aerodynamic styling for a clean functional appearance
• Small, highly maneuverable size with packaging for four passengers
• A very broad range of available performance capability
• Quick, sharply defined roadabiltiy with a firm, yet comfortable ride
• "Cockpit-type" interiors for close drive identification
• An evolutionary, rather thea revolutionary, basic design approach to maintain maximum value to the customer
• Wide selection of mechanical and appearance equipment to allow customer tailoring to his/her needs and desires.

Translating the broad definitive guidelines into specific design parameters became the next step:

1. Four passenger packaging in a low silhouette where tunnel requirements do not impose severe spatial restrictions.
2. Long hood-short deck styling on a short wheelbase with the passenger envelope placed more to the rear.
3. Use of conventionally arranged and readily available powerplants and drivelines to include the following;
1. A full range of engines from currently used engine families
2. Standardized manual and automatic transmissions with column and floor shift controls
3. Solid driving rear axle with full complement of ratios from economy to performance combinations
4. Conventional but compatible chassis design that would;
1. Have sharply defined, sports feeling roadabiltiy and maneuverabiltiy
2. Have superior ride quaility for a vehicle of this type with improved road, engine and driveline isolation
5. Full complement of optional comfort and convenience equipment to be available
6. Full range of "dress-up" interior and exterior packages to allow the customer to tailor the appearance as well as the performance of his/her Camaro
7. The complete car design eo embody all traditional Chevrolet safety, convenience, maintenance and serviceabiltiy features
8. To be offered at competitive prices

great service for the parts you need for your vintage camaro. i bought a cowl induction hood by goodmark for a deal!

i don't order from the mail order places because a) they give you cheap stuff, b) its not that much cheaper with the shipping and handling, and c) nothing can replace good ol' fashioned customer service.

Steve's Camaro Parts - Converting Drums to Discs

Use a single piston caliper and rotor for a 69 Camaro or from my list of donor cars, they are all single piston.

You need a caliper mounting bracket, brake hoses, pads, bearings. You don't need the two piece rotor and hub like the origonal 69 used. The Monte and Nova used a one piece cast hub and rotor.

67 thru 68 Camaro used 4 piston calipers and the two piece rotor. I've heard there may be caliper to rotor clearance problems with the one piece rotor and 4 piston calipers on these cars. But the single piston calipers work fine,

Your drum booster should work, use a disc brake master cylinder. Get a 1970 or newer one piece combination brake valve and mount it under your master cyl. Take off your old brake warning switch, replace with the Combination valve.

NOTE: front disc brake Camaros from 67-69 used three separate valves for:

1. 1. metering (hold back)
2. 2. F/R pressure differential warning (Used on some disc and some drum brake Camaros, usually on front-heavy models like BB engine and AC cars.
3. 3. proportioning.

The "combination" valve contains all these funcitons for a 1970 and later Disc/drum brake car. For use with four wheel discs, an adjustable rear proportioning valve may or may not be needed.

The brown brake light warning wire plugs into the combination valve.

The combination valve has four functions:

1. Metering - holds back pressure to the discs until 40 psi is reached, so the rear brakes can overcome the return spinings and take up slack. Keeps front from grabbing under VERY LOW PEDAL PRESSURES ONLY, LIKE WHEN YOU ARE ON ICE OR VERY SLIPPERY SURFACES. Once you are over 40 psi line pressure there is no benefit to having this valve.

2. PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL WARNING SWITCH -same as drum, senses differences in front to rear pressure, warns of leak by turning on a brake warning light on the dash.

3. PROPORTIONING- reduces rear pressure to balance front to rear traction. fronts should lock first.

4. RESIDUAL PRESSURE VALVE (RPV)

A stock front disc 67-69 Camaro uses separate valves for each function above. Some do not use the proportoning valve down on the frame rail.

Many drum systems have a residual pressure valve (a little piece of rubber the size of an eraiser tip) in the master cyl outlet just behind the little brass seat where the brake line screws in. It maintains a slight (10 to 15lb) pressure to keep the wheel cyl cup seals inflated. Drum master cylinders also lack enough stroke and/or enough reservoir volume to properly operate disc brakes.

WARNING- most discs do not use a residual pressure valve (RPV). Some aftermarket disc systems use a 2lb RPV which is OK, it helps pedal height. caliper seal design is a main factor in RPV requirement.

Drum brake systems use: a brake pressure warning switch/distribution block only, with some models using a proportioning valve attached to the frame under the drivers seat area. And a RPV in the master cyl outlet.

Disc brake Camaros use: NO residual pressure valve in the disc side of the master cyl. The drum side often has a RPV. A round metering valve with rubber push button, by the master cyl, and a Proportioning valve on the frame rail. Also a brake pressure warning switch under the master.

Early Vette four wheel disc and Camaro JL8 systems use: NO RPV, NO Metering valve, they do not use a proportioning valve on the 69 Camaro JL8 four wheel disc system.

When swapping master cyls, there are at least two different length master cylinder push rods coming OUT of the booster. To fit different depth master cyls. The rod can be removed from the booster by pulling on it. It has an O ring on it. If the master cyl you get is deeper where the pushrod goes, you either have to swap the pushrod, or you can cut a length of rod or bolt and put it inside the master cyl to make it the same as the shorter drum brake master cyl. If the rod is too long you can cut it.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE A SHORT DEPTH MASTER ON A MANUAL SYSTEM. THE PUSHROD CAN FALL OUT AND YOU WILL HAVE NO BRAKES!

If the push rod is the wrong length, your brakes will lock or not work at all!

With stock calipers, use a 1 1/8" master cyl bore size master cyl on a power disc system. A 1" bore on a manual brake system. Make shure the master cyl piston returns all the way or it won't uncover the replensihment port to the reservoir.

NO RUBBER Dust BOOT!

The rear pushrod hole in the booster must be open to the air. If you are swapping to power brakes and transfering the manual brake rubber boot to the power booster. THIS WILL PREVENT THE BOOSTER FROM WORKING. There is a felt pad in the booster around the pushrod to keep noise down. That is all that should be in there. For road racing they remove the pad for faster brake actuation.

AVAILABLE POWER STEERING RATIOS  

There are two types of power steering gears, constant ratio and variable ratio. Variable ratio was available, starting in 1969 and offered well into the late 70's. Constant ratio was used before and after the 70's

Constant ratio is felt to be more predictable for the driver in a racing type application, however varable ratio is less twitchy in a straight line, BUT the 69 variable ratio boxes were very fast average ratios, and has low effort levels which can make the car a bit twitchy feeling to some drivers.

Two ways of listing ratios: OVERALL RATIO - measured at the wheel, and BOX RATIO - measured at the steering box output shaft.

VARIABLE RATIOS- Two numbers, first number is the center of travel ratio, the second is ratio near the end of travel, measured at box output shaft, not the wheels. the boxes below were used by GM in the 70's only the ratios marked * are First Gen boxes.

• 14-11:5:1
• 16-12.4:1 *
• 20-16:1

CONSTANT RATIOS- I believe these are at the box ratios, not overall.

• 17.5:1 *
• 14.4:1
• 12.7:1

NOTE: the ratio numbers change a bit from article to article.  12 to 1, 12.4 to 1, and 12.7 - to 1 they are all talking about the same ratio, and 12.7 is more correct according to what my box measures.

The steering linkage adds an additional multiplier to the basic box ratio to arrive at an overall ratio. It could be a positive or negative multiplier (number less than one - a decimal).

Pitman arm long - 5.8", short- 5.25" These measurements are fairly accurate.

Outer steering arms - short 5.25", medium 5.75", long outer steering arm, is roughly 6.2" long. These are pretty close, I may revise by 1/8" + -

The factory sales brochure for 1967 shows power steering ratios of 17.5, to 1, - the "fast steering"15.6 to 1.

GM OPTION CODES

N40 = Power steering option

N44 = Fast ratio option (could be ordered on manual or power steering)

On Z/28 only, got a "special fast ratio" MANUAL STEERING option that was faster than normal N44 fast ratio.

Steve's Camaro Parts - 1969 Camaro Parts and Restoration Specs

The 1969 Camaro marked the last of the first generations and is arguably the most popular. While it shared the same basic body style as its earlier siblings, it featured entirely new, more aggressive looking sheet metal and an entirely revised grille. The familiar coke bottle shape was flatted more to give the 1969 Camaro a lower and wider looking stance. The grille was much more angled and the parking lamps were moved to the lower front valance below the bumper. Other than the roof itself, the 1969 Camaro doesn’t share very much sheet metal with earlier models.

The 1969 Camaro was available in many different configurations. From a plain Jane sport coupe to asphalt eating Super Sport, there was something for everyone! All 1969 Camaros shared the same body unlike the Chevelle and were available in either coupe or convertible. Buyers could choose from the base model Sport Coupe, drag strip ready Super Sport, or road racing Z-28. The Rally Sport option with hidden headlights could be added as a separate packing to any of those models.
Interiors were only available with bucket seats and were available in a variety of colors and styles. Standard interiors were available in Black, Dark Blue, Red, White, Light Green, or Dark Metallic Green. Buyers who ordered a deluxe interior received unique door panels with molded in arm rests and Comfortweave seats with color choices of Black, Dark Blue, Light Green, Dark Metallic Green, or Red. Even rarer was the deluxe Houndstooth interior with unique pleats in Black, Orange, Yellow, or White. A fold down rear seat was available but very rare. An optional console was available with our without gauges. The buyer could have ordered a number of different exterior colors including Tuxedo Black, Butternut Yellow, Dover White, Dusk Blue, Garnet Red, Glacier Blue, Azure Turquoise, Fathom Green, Frost Green, Burnished Brown, Champagne, Olympic Gold, Burgundy, Cortez Silver, LeMans Blue, Hugger Orange, Daytona Yellow, or Rallye Green. Two tone color combinations were available in Glacier Blue/Dover White, Azure Turquoise/Dover White, Glacier Blue/Dusk Blue, Dusk Blue/Glacier Blue, Olympic Gold/Dover White, and Burnished Brown/Champagne.

To complement the wide variety of available colors were the available drive train combinations that could be opted for on the 1969 Camaro. Base power was had by one of two available six cylinder engines. Buyers who wanted more power could opt for aV-8. Manual transmissions were either 3 speeds or 4 speeds. The 2 speed Powerglide was the standard transmission and a 3 speed Turbo Hydramatic was optional.
About 243,000 1969 Camaros were produced.
