What does "Turbo Jet" mean on gen1 Camaros?
 

Was wondering what the Turbo Jet means, if anything, on Gen1 Camaros? I noticed you can buy badges for BB Camaros with and without the turbo jet tag. Can't seem to find anything on google to explain it.

Turbo Jet? - Chevelle Tech

From what I under stand, it was a "marketing" thing.


6 cylinders were called "turbo-thrift".


The old 348/409 were called "turbo-thrust".


Small blocks were called "turbo-fire".


Big blocks were called "turbo-jet".

The big block fender emblems, with the V and crossed flags, include the "Turbo Jet", not aware of that style not having the wording. Perhaps the different ones you're seeing without are grille, hood or trunk emblems.

I wonder if he is referring to the decal on the air cleaner as the "badge"?

Seen these two versions for sale and was wondering why the difference.http://htsmall.rickscamaros.com/asse...sku/723763.jpg http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/...tvD/s-l225.jpg

also do you guys know where to mount the header panel "Chevrolet" and "Camaro" badges on a 67? My car doesn't have the holes drilled for the badges and don't fancy drilling in the wrong spot. thanks

If it were my car, I wouldn't fancy drilling holes period. I'd prefer to remove the studs and attach with 3M molding tape.

You did see this footnote, didn't you:
Not An Original Camaro Emblem...But, Pretty Cool For A 427 Conversion!

For badge location, but this book: Camaro Parts | L1067 | 1967 Camaro Assembly Manual | Classic Industries
Great book to have laying around for any future questions.
