ZL2 hoods

[Unreal]

Thanks William, that clears up a question I've had for awhile.

Black69, I think you have it backwards. The air cleaner base should be smooth on the bottom. It's the late production and post 1969 NOS bases that have the ridge. I think the coil bracket is unique, as it angles the coil more to clear the air cleaner.

The ZL2 was an available option on all Z/28 and SS around Jan 1, 1969.

There are probably more ZL2 hoods in Tennessee today, than were original equipment to the whole US back then.

I didn't have to be a big block to get the ZL2 option.

correct me if I am wrong, but the only small block cars with the ZL2 hood were the a Z-28 or a pacecar...right??

not exactly, any SS could get one, big block or small block

they were OPTIONAL on all SS & Z28's, EXCEPT Z10 & Z11 where they were required options (uhh, that sounds weird). As mentioned they were standard with the COPO package ...

so, COPO, Z28 & SS cars were available to have one, as stated they probably have sold more hoods than the total production of 69 Camaros ...

-----I am out of town and a bit out of touch but need to know you ZL2 guys feelings on the wire harness hole near the fuse box. What variation have you seen in location??? Are there known original ZL2 delivered cars with the hole location off by any amount and if so by how much???? Thanks!!!.......Bill S
