Throttle Rod COPO Camaro
 

Did COPO Camaros use a one or two piece throttle rod?

bkhpah,
I have seen original low milage COPOs both ways.The repro. assembly manuals that I have show a one piece 67-69 L-78 fotenoted to include 427 COPOs.
Is your info based on experience, or do you have other written or official documentation?
Could both ways be condidered correct?

Stefano,
On all the big block 375 cars and COPO/Yenko stuff I have worked on it has been the two piece in 68' and 69. I guess you could say it is by experience. I will look at the manuals later to see the way it is worded. Sometimes I find the manuals are very different from practice...BKH

Thanks for your input. With less than
a couple hundred cars known and even fewer original COPOs, conventional wisdom is just not always accurate.

I have seen 1969 COPOs both ways. L-78 Camaros no question, two piece rod. Although I have never had the opportunity to scrutinize an unrestored L-78 cowl induction car.

The only big block Camaro's that used a one piece rod with a swivel were 67 models. The 68's & 69's used a two piece rod assy on all big block's including the COPO's..........RatPack......
