67-69 TCI CHEVY CAMARO FRONT CLIP
Read and understand these instructions before starting any work
!! SUPPORT VEHICLE WITH JACK-STAND, BEFORE DOING ANY WORK!!

*APPLY ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND TO THREADS TO AVOID SEIZING AND GALLING OF THREADS
*APPLY THREAD LOCKING COMPOUND TO APPLICABLE FASTENER FROM VIBRATING LOOSE
Do not paint or powder coat front clip till you check fit on the body first, not all
Camaro bodies are exactly the same and if adjustments need to be made, you will
want to do that before you do any painting or powder coating. This clip is made to be installed without the factory rubber body bushings, it bolts directly to the car without using any bushings. The original core support bushings are the only bushings that will be reused.

1. Begin installation by jacking the car up and supporting it on sturdy jack stands. The stands must be located just behind the firewall on the flat side. Do not support the car from the front sub-frame. It is not necessary to remove the front fenders, inner fenders and grill, this clip should fit with very little if any clearance issues. Disconnect the steering and transmission linkage and remove the radiator, engine and transmission. The factory brake lines on the front will have to be remade to fit your new clip and you should be able to reuse the rear hard lines from the cowl back. Now unbolt and remove the factory sub-frame making note to where the original sub-frame is mounted. The original steering column will not work with the TCI front clip and an ididit (67-69 Camaro application) column must be used. None of the factory steering system will be reused. You will need to purchase two universal steering joints and a steering shaft to hook your steering back up. This is a good time to give the engine compartment a good cleaning and detailing, as there should be nothing more attached to it.
