Re: 69 Engine BB lift hook???????
 

So I got a set of engine lift brackets off eBay for my L78, and it's easy to see how to mount the front one, on the front two driver side inlet manifold bolts.

But where does that rear one mount, and at what angle? Is it the inboard accessory bolt hole in the back of the passenger head? Does the tab stick straight up?

It goes on the back of the head Sam. This picture should help.

While the topic is still fresh, is there a part number or symbol stamped on the rear hook for a 1970 L78?

Thanks!

Nils, mine was plain as day! I bought it off ebay paired with a front lift which was stamped with the part number listed above..

Thanks Sam!

When I bought the car it only had the numbered front hook but I have three rear hooks laying around. One plain, one with an "L" and one with a "M" in a circle. I just wanted to figure out which is correct.

On a somewhat related topic,somebody asked me what the purpose of that small hole was,on the 1970 BB engine lift hook.
I explained it to them,but they still didn't quite understand.
So I relayed the 1970 Orange Book explanation to them,and thought I would repeat it here.

New for 1970 was this Fuel Filter support rod,#3967498.
It was supposed to be used on the 1970 454 Chevrolet Passenger & Camaro 402 & Nova 402 vehicles w/Vapor Bypass..It saw only one year of useage,before being discontinued the following model year.I have only witnessed it on 1970 Passenger vehicles myself.
