Power Beam decode help...

[MosportGreen66]

Need some help decoding these Power Beams.
Have been in the garage for a little but they do work fine.
Are they originals or reproductions? Dates?
How much are they worth?

Many thanks guys!

Dan,
As far as I know they do not reproduce the power beam headlight.

If you have no need for them I have a 70 Z that could use them. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Take the retaining ring & cup off.
Look for an ink stamped date code series of numbers & letters around the top backside.
Relay them here..

Hi Rick:
What years were they fitted. I think I tossed a box of them in the last year, keeping only T3's.Didnot think anyone would want them. DAAAAA
These shown are for 4 light systems are they not??

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Two prong? Are they for a 4 headlight system?

[ORIGLS6]

That's what I'm thinking. Two prong would be the inner (brights) lamps for a 4 lamp system.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I'd like to see them on a rick's Z!

[ORIGLS6]

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif Do they make headlite spacers? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Rick H]

DUH! Didn't see the 2 prong until after I posted.

They would fit my Z with a little duct tape. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Ok we all agree now they are for a 4 light system http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif but what years were they supplied and are they original factory installed. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I'm pretty sure power beams started in 1970... My old '69Z had T3's which I thought was correct and my old '70 Camaro had Power Beams... which I know was correct/original

[ORIGLS6]

My January '69 Nova and my late May build '70 Chevelle have T3s, but I wouldn't argue with you on the 'introduction date'. Could be a regional thing or a model-to-model issue too. If you can find the ink stamping on them that should give you an answer. I do think Power Beams were a factory installation, just don't have a clue as to dates.

[3macs1]

My May 5th 70 chevelle was T3 also and she is a canadian car.I just don't remember seeing these in the early 70's but they must have been there since that is when I gathered the box I had. I always thought they were a GM over the counter replacement for the T3 but that is probally wrong.If not man did I leave a pile of NOS ones laying on shelves that I could have had for pennies a light over the years.
Someone out there will know the dates

They came in corvettes guys. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif69 and up!
