Jeff:

Car is coded X66 so louvers are correct by my reckoning.

Yep, those are the correct wheels per the GM docs.

I was hung up yesterday with one of the power steering brackets that I couldn't quite make fit. Then last night I checked the docs again and no mention of power steering. Argh.

Anyone know where I can find a manual steering gearbox for a 2D-built Norwood SS 396?

Actually, the X66 is the base model SS396 so it probably shouldn't have the louvers since they were part of the Z21 trim group. They might be part of the SS package though, I couldn't tell for sure over at CRG.

Jeff, visit camaros.org: Model ID and Numbers decoding - Camaro FAQ and search for the table entitled "Body Trim and Paint Features of the 1969 X Codes". SS396 X66 w/out Z21 or Z22 is shown as having black body sill, blacked-out tailpan, and rear quarter louvers; and not having driprail and wheel opening moldings.

Yep, the quarter louver trim is correct for all SS Camaros... even without style trim. The X66 Yenko cars also had this trim.

I thought that was the situation. I couldn't find it when I did a quick search earlier. It's pretty cool having the GM of Canada docs showing every option the car was built with!

Cool! What dealership did it come from? About a decade ago there was an original hugger orange with white interior L78 like that in Calgary. Wonder if its the car?

Looks great Denny. Of course I'm biased to HO. Maybe I'll get to see it in January.
