I have a 1968 Camaro RS with some cool factory options a 327/300 L30 Console Clock and Smokeles Ashtray, it is also triple black and a Van Nuys built Black Plate beauty, any idea how many came with a console clock and smokeless ashtray? Thanks Denny

The L30 for 1968 was rated at 275hp for the Camaro. There is no RPO number for smokeless ash tray. There is a RPO number for a lighted ash tray. The clock was offered as an RPO or a dealer add on. I can ask CRG if they have a total number on console clocks for a 68 if you wish...Joe

Thanks Joe, appreciate your help, it look like a small vacuum line but it must be for transpodic illumination as light must travel through.The console has a special top plate to house the clock and is designed for the console and there is a factory wire harness that comes out of the main loom the the correct plastic connector

I ask your question on CRG. I'll post when they answer
Joe

Thanks Joe

Phillip from CRG just posted that 20,318 cars came with RPO U35, Console mounted clock....Joe

Is this Camaro only?

That figure is only for 1968 Camaro...Joe

Checked it out last night, there is a small 1/8" plastic tube that attaches to the top ashtray holder and it is in the factory loom and terminates by the Vacuum side of the wiper motor with a tee.This was not dealer installed or it would not be in the original factory loom

Have one more question, what is the correct center cap for a 68 RS Camaro? I have the tall center caps used on my rally wheels but feel they should be flat caps

The flat ralley wheel cap was 1967 only...Joe

Their are actually 3 different cap available for your rally wheels. The tall cap which where used on Corvettes and Monte Carlos. The early rally wheel caps ave a small raised center cap that is about 1/2" tall. I've seen them with the words "chevrolet" and also seen them with "disc brakes". The third style is referred to as a "police cap". It is a flat cap with a bow tie logo and stripes. I'm not positive how what years these were used, late 60's for sure. Don
