Re: 1969 Camaro L78 conv ( came from east coast)
I think the VINS are the same gang.
No paper I presume? Wasn't a similar car certified by McNeish last year? I thought the owner wanted 250k or so for it, it was a hugger orange 375 conv.

Re: 1969 Camaro L78 conv ( came from east coast)
I immediately noticed the "7" is higher on the block stamp and lower on the tranny stamp... only because I have seen that before.
I believe (PLEASE someone correct me if I am wrong) that the gang holder may have held the individual stamps fairly tight from left to right, but not so much up and down. Have a tranny around here somewhere with the second to last digit clearly lower than the rest of the characters.

Lynn,
You are spot on. The holder does have movement as you describe, and there are some good reasons for some variation as well.

Re: 1969 Camaro L78 conv ( came from east coast)
Yes I believe there was a survivor automatic HO L78 conv that was documented last year. The car was at the MCACN show this year. Mine is a 4 speed but not a survivor but does retain a lot of its originality.

Finally after almost 2 years Jerry MacNeish was able to come out and certify the car.

Have to agree with Bill on this, that looks to be a fuel/vac line hose clamp as an attempt to
secure it tighter to the switch....should be easy fit, cut a little off and reinsert. Great car!

Yes Eddie I did trim them and put them on Headlights been working great for almost 2 years.
Marc sure looks like the same guy stamped both transmissions. Is it yours or just a picture you found on the internet
