I'm learning here as well.....back to the carburetor, in looking at the add'l pix with this ad it shows a closeup of the carb and the numbers seem to be correct for a 780 cfm for that year/model/engine/trans. Are we sure about the protecto plate interpretation.....maybe the dealer simply put the wrong cfm wording in the ad?

COPO427 - should the vertical piece in the center of the grill be the same color as the car?

70 Z's were all 780 cfm secondary vacuum carbs. No double pumpers were used on the 70 Z28's. The list and part #'s are correct for a 4-spd 70 Z28. The ad is incorrect on the 850 DP.

The centre of the grille should be body coloured.
See this pic I took at a Camaro show. It's an original owner, original paint low mi 70 Z28. And before it's asked, the front spoiler wasn't available until 1971.

I'm no expert here but I don't think the center bar on the RS grille should be body colored. I know you say the Camaro in the picture is original owner, etc. but I have never seen a '70 RS Z with a body colored center bar. To further my point that the pictured Camaro isn't 100% correct; check out the headlight trim pieces. They are blacked out which was not original either so I wouldn't use this car as a refernce point for originality.

Stripes for code 26 could be ordered white or black, see http://ca.geocities.com/[email protected]_trim_b.jpg

My POP for my non RS 70 Z28 has a H at the end of my VIN on the first line.
My POP does not specify a A,B or C for M20, M21 or M22. Mine only shows P0E08 which = Muncie, 70, May, 08. And my car is a Norwood car.

1996Z15 is correct that the center bar in between the two grilles on an RS car should not be painted body color. The posted car is not a good reference car for originality in that respect.

My first car was a Hugger Orange w/white stripes '70 RS Z-28, M-22 w/4.10's which I bought in 1980 and still have today. That car was FAST for a highschool kid. Still can't believe my dad let me buy it. I don't think he had any idea what it was as he was driving a VW Beetle at the time.

The early 2nd gen. Z's are now finally getting the respect they deserve in the collector market.

COPO, your correct on the centre grille. I verified it with my buds on www.nastyz28.com.

Black natural rubber. Also the center reinforcing bar component of the grille was a poor grade semi-gloss black.

Does anybody remember the "Hurst" package on the 1970 Z/28 camaros? What were the additions made to the car to make it different? I remeber seeing pictures of a yellow car that was on some poster and I think it was used in some of the ads for Classic Industries years ago.

The Hurst Camaro was not a GM option. The fasten seat belts light on the dash is not a 1970 item.
