As mentioned previously. If you are running a 569 intake, with factory Holley, in any kind of heat. They are lifesaver, immediately stopped the fuel from cooking on my Nova. Put it on

Re: Carburetor Heat Shield
 

As Rick stated earlier, I would like to add the NA9 system also had special rubber coated clips mounted on the drivers side fenderwell that the hoses routed through on their way to the PCV on the drivers side valve cover and the vent bowl and base plate on the carb. My Nova used 2 of these clips, 1 lower for the hoses and the upper 1 replaced the all plastic clip for the forward headlight wiring harness. Also the charcoal canisters were different for various applications. My L78 car has a 4 nipple can like the pics of the Z28 that Chuck has provided and L34, L48 versions had a 3 nipple set up 2 next to each other and 1 in the center. I think the 6 and 4 cylinder variations had a 3 nipple setup also but the nipples were evenly spaced apart. The cans also had replacable filters on the very bottom. I had to restore this system on my car and was a lot of fun. The lines were fun as my longer line had pitting. In the assembly manual it also shows that Chevrolet started using a special PVC hose on all cars that did away with the use of the many clamps. I have never seen this hose on any car and wondered if anyone else has seen these before. If interested I will submit a pic.

Re: Carburetor Heat Shield
 

Here is 2 added pics of the different hoses used. The 2nd one has the 3 clamp setup and the 1st one shows the special molded hose that was used later in production. Has anyone ever seen the molded hose on any CA. sold vehicle???

Re: Carburetor Heat Shield
 

Here's the setup from my NA9 equipped 1970 Z28. On a Camaro equipped with NA9,there was a special Holley carb which had a vent line attached to the front of the carb from the charcoal canister, and a special carb heat shield that was exclusive to the LT1 Z28. Note that it is shaped quite differently than the heat shields that came on some Chevy big blocks.

Kim,

I have a 10D built L78 El Camino and have RPO NA9. I do not have the moulded hose set up you mentioned. Also, the tee, part 10, is metal. I believe the part number of my canister is 7028024 and has a two letter code and date stamped into the top. I think the routing to the PCV is a bit different too. I think I have a J type moulded hose that is connected from the tee to the PCV. It doesn't have the straight one or two inch piece of hose. It's more like 6 - 10 inches long and hooked like a J. All this is from memory, but I do still have all my original hoses. They're in boxes somewhere in my garage.
