Re: Help to identify a 70 Z28
Take a look at the lower a-frame bumpers. Z28 will have an aluminum block, about 1" thick, attached to the rubber. Like Dan said, if the pedal isn't floor mounted, it isn't a Z28. For lots of sec gen info, go to www.nastyz28.com.

Re: Help to identify a 70 Z28
Sounds like a L78 with deluxe interior, if you don't buy it you should let some of the L78 Camaro guys know where it is so they can have a chance at it.

Re: Help to identify a 70 Z28
What is a California built L78 trim tag going to have Dan? I will go look at the car tomorrow again. Anything else to look for here? Thanks for the help.

Re: Help to identify a 70 Z28
Look for a single 3/8" fuel line (no small return line) that would help validate a Z-28 or L-78. Also look very close at the drivers side floor, in the area of a floor mounted pedal, for the two holes that would mount a pedal studs. For some reason I have seen several Z-28's that have had the pedal converted (after they left the factory)to a cowl mounted pedal. Also, count the rear leaf springs, the factory Z-28 spings should have five leaves. The rear end if original will also give you a clue. Look at the front side of the axle tube on the passenger side, a Z-28 should be a COO or COZ code, assuming it is a 12 bolt.
That is all I can think of, good luck.

I think look for the 7k tach/6500 redline and the holes in the floor it has got to have one of the two but not both. That will tell you what it is.
