Link on the net to decode SS Chevelle ? wheels????

Thnx...question if you were going to buy one book to cover codes and correct information on 67/69 Camaros is the Hooper book the one to have or is there a better one...?? most of my stuff is very old....

[DarrenX33]

That one is great unfortunately it is out of print. But the Jerry MacNeish books on the 67-68 Z and the Definitive 69Z and SS396 book is excellent. I reference it all the time. Decoding key for almost every part. These books don't cover basic Camaros that much.

Also, the Chevrolet by the Numbers is supposed to be a very good book. That one I don't have.

I can probably find one around on e bay I guess...I want one that covers all the different models of the camaro and options etc....worth searching for???

[DarrenX33]

I don't have anything that covers first gen completely. That 69 Camaro Hooper book and MacNeish book on the Z cover all I need.

Who has the Chevrolet By the Numbers Book!!?? Is it worth it?

RICK! RICK! Somebody check his house and see if the Motion sign fell on him.

I have the by the numbers book its pretty good but like Colvin says in the beginning he had ethical concerns and did cut loose with the Camaro info he has/had..at the time it was printed....I guess I need a couple more books around was hoping to only have to spend 30 or so bucks and get just one that worked well....I have wondered how much info is just copied from the last guy that wrote one anyway then releases a so called new book.....

[DarrenX33]

Hmmmm. Maybe we should be writing the next book.

Colvin's

Chevrolet By the Numbers Books are great

Different books for different years
1955-1964

1965-1969 which covers Camaro/Corette/Bel Air/Chevy II/Nova/Chevelle/Impala/El Camino

1970-1975 which covers the same cars above.

To give you a insight on what the 65-69 book covers by chapters:
Vehicle Identification
Engine Codes
Engine Block
Crankshaft
Cylinder Heads
Connecting Rods
Pistons
Carburetor
Intake Manifold
Exhaust Manifolds
Water Pump
Distributor
Camshaft
Alternator
Transmission
Rear Axle/Differential
Wheels
Rochester Fuel Injections

Engines Covered
283/302/307/327/350/396/409/427

the 70-75 book covers engines
262/307/350/400/402/454

Needless to say I am on my 2nd book for both years. I would recommend it since it has good diagrams/parts listing along with sections on date codes for the different parts and how the codes break down.
Any book store like Boarders carries them.
