Single fuel line, it should have 4 piston disc brakes, tire inflation sticker in glove compartment that says 15x6 wheels, High redline tach.

DF Coded 15" Rallys would be a good Clue, 4 Leaf Springs, Hi-Red line Tach is Z28 or L78.

All 68 Camaros had a single fuel line. Two fuel lines started in 69.

Doesn't necessarily have a tach, that was an option.

Fast ratio steering box plus fast ratio steering arms.Not sure of part #s. A lot of early Zs had the brake proportioning block mounted on the drivers side frame rail.This only came on disc brake cars.

Are you sure about that? I used to own a 1968 SS/RS 396 that had the finned drums up front and it had the block on the driver's side frame rail.
