Can someone go to UPC 12 of the 1967 Camaro AIM and post a picture of the Hazard Warning Swith Knob for me? I was looking at my 68 AIM and noticed that the knob is a half moon affair! I was also looking at my 67 Corvair AIM and it too is the same half moon knob!

Supposedly the P/N was originally 3929813 and was changed to 398165 on 7-28-67, so I'm curious to see what the 67 AIM shows.

Also... I know the 67 Camaro (and most other cars) used the "long" chrome knob with the word "Flasher" engraved in the shaft, and that the 68-69 Camaro used the "short" knob with the word "Flasher" engraved on the end, but the P&A shows the 67 knob changed to the short 68-69 version sometime during the model year. I'm not sure when, but if there are any 67 owners out there with the "short" knob, please let me know the build date of your car.

Here's the 67 "Long" knob:

Here's the 68-69 "Short" knob"

And here's the "Half-moon" knob from the 67 Corvair AIM (Same part, but a better view than the 68 Camaro AIM):

Thanks boys and girls...

ed,

no notes directly related to the knob asm. (indirect notes have to do with knob position and cam asm install) 3-5 lbs. in. torque.

The same knob was used on the '67 Corvette - they used the long knob exclusively through the third week of December, the long and short knob randomly through the end of March, and the short knob exclusively from April through July. :thumbsup:

Thanks John. I think the same thing happened with other Chevrolet models of the time. Camaro, Corvair, etc... There's a guy on the Corvair site trying to document the change. I'll let him know this info.

My cowl tag shows a build date of 05C. I have the short hazard warning knob and I know it is original to the car.
