Base engine was a 307 two barrel producing 200 horsepower. The 327 two barrel was a option for 1969 Camaro(s). I owned a 69 with the 307 engine mated to a power glide transmission. These transmission had two gears, low and high. A lot of people liked the 2 speed because the power loss from the crankshaft to the drive wheels was less than the turbo hydromatic three speeds.
In the early 80's I bought a well used '68 Camaro 327 ci, 210 hp, 2-Sp powerglide column shift. All I can say is it didn't stay this way for very long - big performance upgrades. Still kicking myself for eventually selling it. Big mistake. Thanks for vid; still dreaming about first generation Camaros - the best Camaros in my opinion.
Love these old film strips. I have a VCR copy from Chevrolet sport dept. that talks about all the hi performance stuff. Z/28 Camaro Chevelle SS.They talk 396 cylinder heads NC-8 exhaust ect. Best one I seen yet The best part is them comparing the mustang lol. They throw it under the bus. I wish I had a email to discuss this with the CRG. I’ve had this tape o er 20 years now
MMMMM, always thought only the Z had the optional 4 wheel discs available? Still might like the Blonde better?? I had 3 1st gen Camaro's, miss #2 the most, Yenko clone, 67 RS 427/425 with 456 12 bolt and 4 speed==POWER

Damn, wish I had a time machine.

Nope. At least 3 non-Z JL8 cars are known.
Why did the race 427 Corvette have 5 hp less than the street version?
GM was NOT Accurate with the ratings for Insurance Rates - the TRUE HP was more than 450 HP !
