In the coming days, I am going to work on some small detail items. I snapped some pics as to my body of work ahead of me.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

From the pics I would suggest Safest rust remover and not replate stuff.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

I agree with Charlie. It just will not look correct with all the detail items looking perfect against the 49 year patina.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

That is my plan. The evaporust is brewing as we speak.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

FYI, depending on how long it is soaking, the evaporust and safestrustremover will remove some types of plating, like the black oxide on bolts and the grey phosphate on the hinges. I once soaked a semi-rusty brake booster in the liquid and it washed clean the yellow cad plating on the booster, down to the bare metal. It is wonderful stuff on bare metal items that have no other preexisting surface plating. It won't affect paint unless the paint is hanging on to a rusty portion of the metal and then it will seap underneath, dissolve the underlying rust and the paint will float off in that spot.

Don't use it on pot-metal or cast white metal as it will get into the pits and then start dissolving the metal away. I learned that the hard way on a portion of a lower steering column. After soaking too long, it looked like it developed the automotive equivilent of smallpox.

P.S. Heat up the liquid and the part and it works much faster. Piror to dipping, I usually leave the item to be soaked and the jugs of liquid out in the sun a few hours, or I use that aquarium heater in the bucket. 75 to 80 degrees is fine.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

Good points Steve. I had the same dilemma. I chose to soak the parts and remove the rust vs losing coatings. If you are careful and dont allow it to sit for really long periods of time you can save some of the coatings. What I did do was upon removing said parts from the evaporust I would let air dry (as long as they were not any black from the oxidation of rust). It sorta works as a prevention too although doesnt last long. I still use WD40 or light oil to continue the preservation of the finishes. I now use an old crockpot with evaporust and it cuts the time down to around an hour where I was waiting anywhere from 12-24 hours. Just have to watch your temps. As for the #7 the hood looks great!! I kept going with #7 and would rub the shit out of it like I was mad at it until I started to see less and less green on the towels.. Of course you will always see car color when waxing lacquer. James(firstgenaddict) & Mike Phillips from Auto Geek were my inspiration and who I read about with caring for original paints, tips and tricks and had phone conversations with both on opinions and thoughts about the green car. Heck I used #7 on everything from the heater box, firewall, core support, fender braces, inner fenders brackets and the whole underside of the car.. Even if it had rust on it and I couldnt use evapo I would rub it down with #7. Its some really good stuff. Great progress so far and look forward to seeing more.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

Just noticed something. Your drvr inner fender had the holes and straps for the front end wiring harness.. Granted its different plants but only 1 build week apart but the green car does not have the holes for the straps.. Could it have been leftovers from 67 and 68 RS cars made it a requirement to have the inner fender updated..??.. Love the oddities of these cars.. Interesting stuff.



<span style="font-weight: bold">EDIT:</span>

Also noticed another difference.. Upper Alt bracket has the bracket for the throttle spring vs no bracket and spring attaching to coil bracket..

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">For the record I am not claiming one correct over the other just find the differences as interesting</span>.</span>


Ok one other thing.. This car needs to be in the Survivor Section over on CRG.. Also would be a great candidate for the feature car over there as well..

Darrel,

I had noticed the alternator bracket / accelerator spring deal myself. As I have mentioned in the past, the Camaro's are new to me. Being a Corvette guy, I'm used to one plant producing maybe 20,000 cars a year. The Camaro's are an entirely different beast in that respect.

For what is worth, this car was a special order and delivered at the end of April of 68.

To your point, I am finding the little details and differences in the cars to be fascinating myself.

Tim

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

Soak the emblems in Safest Rust Remover as well... you will be amazed at how nice they will look. AMAZED!

I spoke to the original owner tonight. That................was a treat! Seems like a great guy! Real character [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

I've been spending some time driving the HM L78 and working out a few small issues.

First.................put the Muncie shifter on the shelf! Found a nice older Hurst...........almost N.O.S.!

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

Secondly...............the muffler was just junk. It sounded horrible and was not very enjoyable to drive. I was hesitant due to the muffler being original (IMO) and was in fear of not being able to reuse the original pipes, hangers, and clamps.

After consulting with one of my customers, he felt he could easily save everything I wanted to, but would have to sacrifice the muffler. Sooooooooooo........off it went.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

Not sure if you solved your brake problem or not, but if you have original rubber brake hoses, it might be time for a change. Last year, both of my survivor 69 Chevelles had the rubber hoses fail internally and I had the same problem as you with low fluid flow/ pressure. I replaced both the front and rear rubber hoses and problem solved.

Good luck.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

I have the original voltage regulator. I wanted to reinstall it. I'm sure it was removed for a good reason. I confiscated an old extra voltage regulator tester from one of the stores I bought years ago. Kinda handy at times like this!

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

I went off on a little side project with the HM Camaro. I have enlisted the help of Billy Gould. His company (Auto Ancestry)http://www.autoancestry.com/index.html, helped me with the 63 Corvette I had a few years ago.

I was looking to fill the gap of information about the 2nd owner of the car. I suspect it may have been drag raced.

I provided Bill with what I knew already, and provided him with the contact information of the original owner, as well as Jim Yocono (AStock). Here is the email Billy sent me today............




Tim, I called both Mike and Jim. They were both helpful but without any new facts.But I do have a pretty good profile of the young man who died owning the car. I can’t make any promises but I think I have several good leads to follow. There are several places to look. First, Jim said that the man died in 70 or 71. There might be a newspaper article . Supposedly they were coming back from a drag strip or a race track. There might be a list of deaths in Santa Maria for those years. Or he might have his death recorded in a town along the way. It is possible to contact local people of the right age in Santa Maria to see if anyone remembers him. He probably went to that high school so that might be a lead. That city had a population of about 80k in 1970.

As you can see, there are lots of places to look but nothing specific. I think there is a 50-60% chance of identifying him and finding his family. I might have to hire a researcher at a modest extra cost but only if necessary and with your OK. I like to spell it all out so that you know what is required. It is an interesting search and a definite challenge.

I can offer no guarantees but will gladly take on the challenge. My fee is $300 which you can pay by personal check to Bill Gould AutoAncestry 51 Mountain Hill Rd Plymouth MA 02360 . I suspect this project may take from one to four months. Bill Gould

Im sure everyone already knew this but Walker made the mufflers for GM (hence the embossed &quot;W&quot;). I still have one in the box. This one will go on a certain green car at some point.

In the process of researching any remaining history I am not aware of, Jim Y (Astock) sent be a couple of pics and reminded me of a few tid bits I forgot about from our initial conversations.

One of the items that was discovered among all of the parts, was a perfectly dated 68 Corvette 3x2 intake and carbs. Jim felt this was the induction set up that were to be used on the HM L78 next along with the L88. Hmmmmmmmmm.................

Nice.. Im really diggin' this car.. Are the headers installed.?. If not any plans to ceramic coat them in white, orange or blue? With a tri power this thing needs a L88 hood!!..

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

The headers are not in the car. That is a story in of itself. Jim Y. can tell that one if he likes. Frankly, he got the short end of the stick from a Southern California shop (who I will allow to remain anonymous) over those headers.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

I posted this reply (thread) in the Racing section......................



Does anyone have, or know of someone..............that has collected racing results, pictures, slides, etc. from Lions Dragstrip?

In the search for the missing pieces to the puzzle on the HM L78 Camaro, we may have nailed down the name of the 2nd owner who MAY have raced the car. Having said that........(once the name is confirmed) I can then go and search for any results in programs, newspapers, newsletters, etc.

While all of this is a complete shot in the dark, I figure it is at least an interesting little project.

If anyone has a tip, suggestion, correction, a place to call, a place to write.................I am all ears.

In advance..........thanks for your consideration.

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

Tim, We know that the owner #2 died in 71 or 72 and prior to Dec 2 1972. We can also estimate that he was between ages 20 and 40. I searched the Social Security Death record for any man who lived in Santa Maria CA at his death, who was born between 1932 and 1952 and who died in 1971 or 1972.I got one hit. I can’t say that this is definitely our man but there is a strong possibility. I will do some further checking.This man was 25 when he died.All the facts fit well Bill Gould AutoAncestry

Re: Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro
 

Tim,
All signs lead to the fact that Mike Satore is our man. He is the only man who died in Santa Maria in 71 or 72 of the right age, and we know that he died in Santa Barbara which is between the drag strip and Santa Maria. The attached obituary only says that he died in a local hospital. He could have been injured in the crash and then lingered for a while until he died. There are names of family in the obit so I will try to make contact.I should be able to confirm if this is our man. Bill Gould

Michael’s mother..............this is who we believe Jim Y (Astock) purchased the car from.




OFELIA PACHECO HERNANDEZ


Ofelia Pacheco Hernandez left to join our heavenly father on December 13, 2004. She was born in Penasco, New Mexico on April 29, 1922.

With the spirit of a true Trailblazer, she moved to the Central Coast in the mid-1940s. Shortly thereafter, the rest of the family followed her, including her mother, father, sisters, and cousins. She proudly drove to work in her brand new green and white 1953 Chevy. Always a starter, her mom and dad bought a red and white 1953 Chevy.

For many years, she lived and worked at Rosemary Farms in Santa Maria. She also worked at a local cooler and for the food service department at Allan Hancock College.

She was happily married to Jesus a.k.a. Chuey Hernandez for over 20 years. A lengthy illness not withstanding, she persevered and enjoyed her family and friends. They enjoyed cooking for and entertaining friends and family together. She can probably be best remembered for her love of life. Stemming from her roots and being brought up in Northern New Mexico, she loved Native American art and jewelry. Her grandmother was a full-blooded Pueblo Indian, and she was very proud of this.

She spent much of her time playing cards and doing crossword puzzles with her beloved sister, Evelyn. She loved to spend time with her grandchildren. She was so delighted when she saw their cute smiling faces.

She is survived by her loving sons, Herbert Roy Pacheco, Daniel Aguilera, and Jose Aguilera, and her daughter, Virginia P. Aguilera-Quiros. She also leaves behind grandchildren, Laura Pacheco, Brian Pacheco, Adrienne Aguilera, Freddie Aguilera, Jr., Corina Aguilera, Daniel Aguilera, Jr., Misty Aguilera, Monica Quiros, Steven Aguilera, and Ashley Pacheco. She leaves 16 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her sons, Fred R. Aguilera and Michael Satore.

A celebration of her life will be held on Thursday, December 16, 2004, at Dudley Hoffman Mortuary. Visitation begins at 3 p.m., and a vigil will be conducted by Father Mark Neuman beginning at 7 p.m. A scripture service will be held on Friday, December 17, 2004 at Dudley Hoffman Mortuary at 10 a.m., with a burial service at the Santa Maria Cemetery to follow.

Arrangements are under the direction of Dudley-Hoffman Mortuary and Crematory.

My plan is to return the original heads, intake, carb, to the original L78 short block after I get everything freshened up. The only large ticket items are a pair of 842 heads for the L88 and perhaps a set of MT Super Scavenger headers for it.

Time will tell
