The selection of the proper lubricant and its correct
application at regular intervals does much to increase the
life and operation of all moving parts of the vehicle.
Consequently, it is important that the correct grade of
oil or grease, as noted in the following pages, be used.
ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL
Crankcase Capacity
4 Cylinder 4 qt.
6 Cylinder 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (283) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (327) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (350) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (396) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (427) Chevrolet 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (427) Corvette 5 qt.
For 4 Cyl. Add .5 qt. with filter change;
1 qt. for 6 and 8 Cyl. engines.
Lubrication
Crankcase oil should be selected to give the best per-
formance under the climatic and driving conditions in the
territory in which the vehicle is driven.
During warm or hot weather, an oil which will provide
adequate lubrication under high operating temperatures
is required.
During the colder months of the year* an oil which will
permit easy starting at the lowest atmospheric tempera-
ture likely to be encountered, should be used.
When the crankcase is drained and refilled, the crank-
case oil should be selected, not on the basis of the exist-
ing temperature at the time of the change, but on the
lowest temperature anticipated for the period during
which the oil is to be used.
Unless the crankcase oil is selected on the basis of
viscosity or fluidity of the anticipated temperature, dif-
ficulty in starting will be experienced at each sudden
drop in temperature.
SAE Viscosity Oils
SAE Viscosity Numbers indicate only the viscosity or
body of the oil, that is, whether an oil is a light or a
heavy body oil, and do not consider or include other
properties or quality factors.
The lower SAE Viscosity Numbers, such as SAE 5W
and SAE 10W which represent the light body oils, are
recommended for use during cold weather to provide
easy starting and instant lubrication. The higher SAE
Viscosity Numbers such as SAE 20 and SAE 20W, which
represents heavier body oils, are recommended for use
during warm or hot weather to provide improved oil
economy and adequate lubrication under high operating
temperatures.
Oils are available which are designed to combine the
easy starting characteristics of the lower SAE Viscosity
Number with the warm weather operating characteristics
of the higher SAE Viscosity Number. These are termed
"multi-viscosity oils," SAE 5-10W, SAE 5W-20, SAE
10W-20W, and SAE 10W-30.
The following chart will serve as a guide for the
selection of the correct SAE Viscosity Number for use
under different atmospheric temperature ranges, and
suggests the appropriate SAE Viscosity Numbers when
multi-viscosity oils are used.

LUBRICATION 0-16
Every 12,000 miles (more frequently*, depending on
severity of service, if vehicle is used to pull trailers,
carry full loads during high ambient temperatures,
operate in mountainous terrain or operate under other
severe conditions--Remove fluid from the transmission
sump and add one and a half quarts of fresh fluid for
Camaro and Chevy II and two quarts for Chevrolet,
Chevelle, and Corvette. Operate transmission through all
ranges and check fluid level as described above.
•Except if vehicle is equipped with transmission pro-
vided in heavy duty service options. If so equipped,
drain converter and pump every 12,000 miles and add
approximately seven and a half quarts of fresh fluid
for Chevy II and nine quarts for Chevrolet and Chevelle.
TURBO HYDRA-MATIC
Lubrication. recommendations for the Turbo Hydra-
Matic are the same as outlined for the Powerglide
transmission except for fluid capacity and filter change
listed below.
After checking transmission fluid level it is important
that the dip stick be pushed all the way into the fill tube.
Every 12,000 miles — after removing fluid from the
transmission sump, approximately 7 1/2 pints of fresh
fluid will be required to return level to proper mark on
the dip stick.
Every 24,000 miles, or at every other fluid change--
the transmission sump strainer should be replaced.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
It is necessary to remove the wheel and hub assembly
to lubricate the bearings. The bearing assemblies should
be cleaned before repacking with lubricant. Do not pack
the hub between the inner and outer bearing assemblies
or the hub caps, as this excessive lubrication results in
the lubricant working out into the brake drums and
linings.
Front wheels of all passenger car models are equipped
with tapered roller bearings and should be packed with a
high melting point water resistant front wheel bearing
lubricant whenever wheel and hub are removed.
CAUTION: "Long fibre" or "viscous" type
lubricant should not be used. Do not mix wheel
bearing lubricants. Be sure to thoroughly clean
bearings and hubs of all old lubricant before
repacking.
The proper adjustment of front wheel bearings is one
of the important service operations- that has a definite
bearing on safety. A car with improperly adjusted front
wheel bearings lacks steering stability, has a tendency to
wander or shimmy and may have increased tire wear.
The adjustment of these bearings is very critical. The
procedure is covered in Section 3 of this manual under
Front Wheel Bearings—Adjust,
MANUAL STEERING GEAR
Check lubricant level every 36,000 miles. If required,
add EP Chassis Lubricant.
POWER STEERING
On models equipped with power steering gear, check
fluid at operating temperature in pump reservoir. Add
GM Power Steering Fluid, or, if this is not available, use
Automatic Transmission Fluid "Type A" bearing the
mark AQ-ATF followed by a number and the suffix letter
'A'
to bring level to full mark on dip stick.
AIR CONDITIONING
After the first 6,000 miles, check all hose clamp
connections for proper tightness.
Every 6,000 miles check sight glass under the hood,
after the system has been in operation for several
minutes. Sight glass should be clear but may, during
milder weather, show traces of bubbles. Foam or dirt
indicate a leak which should be repaired immediately.
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
Check level every 6,000 miles and maintain 1/4" below
lowest edge of each filler opening with GM Hydraulic
Brake Fluid Supreme No. 11.
PARKING BRAKE
Every 6,000 miles, apply water resistant lube to park-
ing brake cable, cable guides and at all operating links
and levers.
CLUTCH CROSS-SHAFT
Periodic lubrication of the clutch cross shaft is not
required. At 36,000 miles or sooner, if necessary;
remove plug, install lube fitting and apply CHASSIS
LUBRICANT.
CHASSIS LUBRICATION
For chassis lubrication, consult the lubrication chart.
It shows the points to be lubricated and how often the
lubricant should be applied.
The term "chassis lubricant" as used in this manual,
describes a water resistant EP chassis grease designed
for application by commercial pressure gun equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All 1967 models are equipped with a new split brake
system as a safety feature. If a wheel cylinder or brake
line should fail at either the front end or rear end of
the vehicle, the operator can still bring the vehicle to
a controlled stop. The system is designed with separate
hydraulic systems for the front and rear brake using
a dual master cylinder (fig. 1). The design of the master
cylinder is similar to that used on the 1966 Corvette
in that it has two entirely separate reservoirs and outlets
in a common body casting. The front reservoir and outlet
is connected to the front wheel brakes, and the rear
reservoir and outlet is connected to the rear wheel
brakes. Two pistons within the master cylinder receive
mechanical pressure from the brake pedal push rod and
transmit it through the brake lines as hydraulic pressure
to the wheel cylinders. The filler cap is accessible from
inside the engine compartment.
A new brake pipe distribution and switch assembly
is mounted below the main cylinder. The front and rear
hydraulic brake lines are routed from the main cylinder,
through the brake pipe distribution and switch assembly,
to the front and rear brakes as shown in Figure 2. The
switch is wired electrically to the brake alarm indicator
light on the instrument panel. In the event of fluid loss
in either the front or rear brake system the indicator
on the instrument panel will illuminate red. (The indi-
cator will also' be illuminated when the parking brake is
applied.)
On Camaro models equipped with air conditioning, the
rear brake hydraulic line is routed through a pressure
regulator valve mounted on the left frame side rail
(fig. 3). The valve controls the hydraulic pressure to
the rear brakes resulting in the correct pressure balance
between the front and rear hydraulic systems.
The self-adjusting brakes (fig. 4), used on both front
and rear of all models, are the Duo-Servo single anchor
type which utilize the momentum of the vehicle to assist
in the brake application. The self-energizing or
self-
actuating force is applied to both brake shoes at each
wheel in both forward and reverse motion. The brake
shoe linings are bonded to the shoes.
Wheel cylinders are the double piston type permitting
even distribution of pressure to each brake shoe. To
keep out dust and moisture, both ejads of each wheel
cylinder are sealed with a rubber booC The wheel
cylinders have no adjustments.
The Chevrolet, Chevelle, and Camaro parking brakes
have a foot operated ratchet type pedal mounted to the
left of the steering column. A cable assembly connects
the pedal to an intermediate cable by means of an equal-
izer, where the adjustment for the parking brake is
incorporated. The intermediate cable attaches to the

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Four wheel disc brakes
are
standard equipment
on
the
1967
Corvette,
as in 1966. The
Corvette
may
also
be equipped with heavy duty disc brakes which include
new front calipers, shoes, linings,
and
rear pressure
regulator valve. This heavy duty option
is
used
in
conjunction with
a
vacuum power unit. Front wheel disc
brakes
are
installed
as
optional equipment
on
Chevrolet,
Chevelle, Camaro,
and
Chevy
II
models.
The disc brake,
(fig. 35),
consists
of a
fixed caliper,
rotating disc, splash shield,
and
mounting bracket.
The
caliper assembly contains four pistons and two shoe
and
lining assemblies with
the
lining riveted
to the
steel
shoes.
A
seal
and
dust boot
are
installed
on
each piston,
with
a
piston spring
in the
caliper cylinder bore beneath
each piston.
A
retaining pin extends through each caliper
half
and
both shoes
to
hold
the
shoes and linings
in
posi-
tion
in the
caliper.
On
Corvette heavy duty disc brakes,
two retaining cotter pins
are
used
at
each end
of the
caliper
to
secure
the
shoes
and
linings. Machined
sur-
faces within
the
caliper prevent
the
shoe
and
lining
assembly from rotating with
the
brake disc when pres-
sure
is
applied.
The disc, which
has a
series
of air
vent louvers
to
provide cooling,
is
mounted
on the
front wheel-hub.
The caliper straddles
the
disc and mounts
on a
mounting
bracket attached
to the
steering knuckle with
two
bolts.
The Corvette heavy duty option includes
a
pressure
regulator valve mounted
in the
rear brake line just
below
the
main cylinder. Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro,
and Chevy
n
models with disc brakes have
a
pressure
regulator valve mounted
in the
front brake line just
below
the
main cylinder. The valve controls
the
hydraulic
pressure
to the
front
or
rear brakes,
as
applicable,
resulting,
in the
correct pressure balance between
the
front
and
rear hydraulic systems. This valve guards
against premature .lock-up
of
front
or
rear wheels when
brakes
are
applied.
Maintenance, adjustment,
and
service operations which
are
not
included
in
this section
are the
same
as for
the Duo-Servo type brakes.
MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The operation
of
bleeding
the
disc brake hydraulic
system
is the
same
as for
Duo-Servo system outlined
in
the
front
of
this section. Note
the
exceptions below
and refer
to
bleeding procedures under Duo-Servo
brakes.
1.
When pressure bleeding equipment
is
used,
the
correct pressure setting
for
bleeding disc brakes
is 10-2.0
lbs. on
Corvette,
and 40 lbs. on all
other
models.
2.
The
front calipers contain
one
bleeder valve.
The
rear calipers
on
Corvette contain two bleeder valves
(one inboard
and one
outboard) which necessitates
the removal
of the
rear wheels
for
bleeding.
3.
Tapping
the
caliper with
a
rawhide mallet
as the
fluid
is
flowing
out may
assist
in
obtaining
a
good
bleeding
job.
4.
On
Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro
and
Chevy
II, the
spring loaded
end of the
pressure regulator valve
(fig.
36)
must
be
held (valve
in
open position) while
bleeding. This
is
done
by
depressing
and
holding
in
the
plunger
in the
end
of
the valve either
by
hand,
by taping,
or by
clamping.
PARKING BRAKE-CORVETTE
Adjustment
1.
Raise rear
end of
vehicle
and
place
on
jack stands.
2.
Remove rear wheels.
3/
Loosen brake cables
at the
equalizer until
the
park-
ing brake levers move freely
to the "off"
position
with slack
in the
cables.
4.
Turn
the
disc until
the
adjusting screw can
be
seen
through
the
hole
in the
disc.
5. Insert
an
adjusting tool
or

hole
in the
disc
and
tighten
the
adjusting screw
by
moving your hand away from
the
floor
on
both
the
left and right sides
(fig. 37).
6. Tighten until
the
disc will
not
move, then back
off
ten
(10)
notches.
7. Apply
the
parking brake four
(4)
notches from inside
the
car.
8. Tighten
the
brake cables
at the
equalizer
to
produce
a light drag with
the
wheels mounted.
9. Fully release
the

Because of the interchangeability and similarity of
many engines, engine sub-assemblies and engine parts,
regardless of which passenger vehicle they are used in,
typical illustrations and procedures are used except
where specific illustrations or procedures are necessary
to clarify the operation. Although illustrations showing
bench operations are used, most single operations, when
not part of a general overhaul, should be performed (if
practical) with the engine in the vehicle.

FIELD RELAY CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENT
To check for a faulty relay proceed as follows:
1.
Connect a voltmeter into the system at the regulator
No.
2 terminal to ground (fig. lie).
2.
Operate the engine at fast idle (1500 to 2000 rpm) and
observe voltmeter reading.
3.
If voltmeter shows zero voltage at regulator, check
circuit between No. 2 terminal on regulator to "R"
terminal on Delcotron.
4.
If voltage at regulator exceeds closing voltage
Fig.
13c—Adjusting Field Relay Closing Voltage
specification and light remains on, regulator field
relay is faulty (Refer to specifications). Check and
adjust regulator as follows:
CLOSING VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
•1.
Make connections as shown in Figure 12c using a 50
ohm variable resistor.
NOTE: This gives us a variable resistance in
series from a hot lead to the relay coil.
2.
Turn resistor to "open" position.
3.
Turn ignition switch off.
4.
Slowly decrease resistance and note closing voltage
of the relay. Adjust by bending heel iron in the man-
ner illustrated in Figure 13c.
OTHER HARNESS CHECKS
Other wires in the charging system harness need be
checked for continuity by use of an ohmmeter or a test
ligjit (12 Volt). Connect the test so the wire in question is
in series in the test circuit.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The regular production steering gear
is the
recirculat-
ing ball type. This gear provides
for
ease
of
handling
by
transmitting forces from worm
to
sector gear through
ball bearings.
The
steering linkage
is of
the relay type,
and extended interval lubrication design, with the pitman
arm connected
to one end of
the relay
rod. The
other
end
of
the
relay
rod is
connected
to an
idler
arm
which
is
connected
to the
frame side rail opposite
the
steering
gear.
Two
adjustable
tie
rods connect
the
relay
rod to
the steering arms.
All passenger
car
models
for 1967 are
equipped with
new energy absorbing steering columns.
The
mast jacket,
shift tube,
and
steering shaft
are
designed
to
collapse
under various front impact conditions.
All new
columns
are
of
this design, including
the
tilt option and telescope
option.
MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
The manual steering gear
is
filled
at the
factory with
a
water resistant grease. Seasonal change
of
this lubrica-
tion
is
unnecessary and
the
housing should
not be
drained.
The steering gear lubricant level should
be
checked every
36,000 miles. Whenever required, additions should
be
made using
a
water resistant
EP
chassis lubricant.
Check and fill steering gear
as
follows:
1.
Remove lower
and
outboard cover retaining screws
(fig.
1).
2.
Insert filling device
in
lower screw hole.
3.
Inject lubricant until
it
appears
in
outboard screw
hole; gear
is now
filled
to
correct level.
The steering linkage should
be
lubricated with water
resistant
EP
chassis lubricant every 6,000 miles
or six
months, whichever occurs first. Lubrication points
and
additional information
on the
chassis lubricant
to be
used
can
be
found
in
Section
0 --
General Information
and
Lubrication.
