    I came across your channel just surfing through first gen. camaro videos. I've owned a '67 and a '68. I love them and wish to own another one. Anyway, I'm subscribed and I think your work is great. I've been a heavy construction equipment mechanic for 43 years and still enjoy wrenching on the old muscle cars. I appreciate your work. Thanks for the great videos.

    Yes I think they’re 272 gears. I do have a 10 bolt with 373 gears that would be perfect for it. My black Camaro has 308 gears in it and I love those gears. I really didn’t want to put a ton of money into it to keep it affordable for someone who wants a first gen Camaro. Have an awesome day👍🏼AL

    @@keepitsimplegarage-xp1kk I can cruise all day at 75 mph with those 3.08s but I want to step up a little bit. As soon as the 295's are worn out, I'll change them to something much closer to stock height and then figure out if I want 3.36 or 3.55s in it. Great video series. Don't give that thing away, even back to the guy you bought it from. Your time and expertise is definitely worth $$$

    Hello, yes headlight washers were an option. I don’t have any pictures but I did have one years ago and it worked off the washer pump for your wipers. My RS doesn’t have it, It looks like a small silver button just above the head lights. Hold on my friend mr. Wilson was just working on one. I will ask him if he has any photos if he does I’ll post them on a video. Have an great day👍🏼AL
