Hi - Here's the tag info on my '67. I've used the CRG program to get the decode info below, but have seen in past posts that some folks use this data here also. VIN is 124377N197901. FWIW - My car has a rectangular radius rod.

If you have any additional info, it would be appreciated.

One other question also... The console was removed from this car prior to my purchase and I do not have a factory tach. Would the console have had a guage cluster or not?

Thanks,

john

No, gauges would have had the tach in the dash.

Do you have the axle code? I am kind of surprised to hear it has a square radius rod since it was a powergilde car.

Hi Bob - Yeah, I know there would not have been a tach in the console, was just wondering if it was more likely that the console came without a guage cluster, (volt, fuel, etc.) because I didn't have a tach in the dash. I see the '67 console is now being re-pop'd as both a cluster and non-cluster style.

Thanks,

John

Hi Daniel - I haven't looked at the axle codes yet, I'll see if I can get to that next weekend. I do know it's a 3:31 posi. Would the radius rod also have markings? If so, do you know where?

thx,

John

I don't know of any markings on the radius rod it self.
Is the rod round or square?

My car has a rectangular radius rod. He mentioned it early on but alot of info. always get crowded at times. ;)

Daniel - Here's the info off of my axle.

QI 12 29G (Hard to tell on the I..It may be something else)
E
Date stamp is B87

I did have the rear case off a couple of weeks ago and it is an Eaton posi and by counting teeth I think it is 3:31. It looks like "I" means 2:73, but like I said, the 2nd letter is hard to read, it could be a K.

I'm assuming this is probably the original rear end since the VIN is 03D and this rear is a B, agree?

Also, I have posted a couple of pics of the radius rod. Just go to my sig link. The rod is rectangular.

67 camaro was first year and with factory 350 came with radius rods because of wheel hop. in 68 moved shock on 1 side to back of rear to stop wheel hop. also people added them cause just weld on brackets to rear and rest bolt on or they put on ladder bars on car to stop wheel hop.

Your right QI is a 2.73 posi not a 3.31. Something does not look right with the dates. A casting date of B87 would be Feb 8 1967, but the axle code is dated Dec 29 1966. It could not have been cast later then when it was built. I think you need to check the casting date and build codes again.

Bill you are correct 67 was 1st year for camaro and the 350 engine, but not all 67's got the traction bar, Dont think it has been determined when the use started or for what appillcations recived them ,,hop over to www.crg.org lots of good info there. And on cars that got the bar there was a extra plate added to the floor of the car where the front of it bolts up. so it wasent just a bolt on thing.67 Firebirds with 400 and 4speed trans that i have seen most of the time have two traction bars and both are square on them.And in 68 the shocks was moved.

Frank that link isnt correct... www.camaros.org is CRG

Daniel - Yes, I see my error now. Did some more cleanup of the date code and realized that the numbers are upside down if reading from the rear of the housing.. The correct numbers are below..

Date stamp is L96 (or L86)
Rectangular Rod (Pics in sig line link)

From the looks of your pics the square rod was added, also ss 350 w/ a powerglide should not have come w/ a traction rod. Also the bracket on the rear axle is not the correct bracket for a square rod.

also ss 350 w/ a powerglide should not have come w/ a traction rod.

Not quite true. Some SS 350/powerglide cars did come with the radius rod. Some did not. At this point, we do not have enough info to say why.

Well, this makes more sense for the axle anyway. Unfortunately, I don't think the axle is original to the car. Just too much time between the date of the axle and the car.
