69 Smog hose retainer??
 

In the attached e-bay add there is a engine shot of a 69 L-89 convert for sale. The smog hose that crosses over to the drivers side is held in place by some kind of reatainer to the side of the T-stat housing. I have never seen this before. Correct/exception/owner modification?? Anyone ever seen one before?

PS if someone could put the picture up that would be great. Thanks

I've seen tons of big block cars and never one of these
clips before. Possibly a 1970's-ish thing???? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I think it goes with the 'I did it with a Sharpie' code on the diverter valve!

I believe it shows up in the assembly manual, but I've never found anyone who knew if was actually used in production.

Hey,

While we are nit-picking, what do you guys think about the
orange overspray on the heads? Time for the Camaro Police? http://webzoom.freewebs.com/nuch_ss3...icons/cops.gif

Nope. Talking about the one that looks like it is attached to the upper rad hose by the water neck.

Never seen one before. Not sure what it is suppose to. Maybe it came in the same box as that repop master cylinder. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

No. Look at the thermostat housing and the attached clip.
The drivers side SMOG tube routes right through the clip.
It's an oddity....

I have a clamp like this for my '67 SS L48 w/CA smog equipment. I have never seen this on a '69 Camaro; BB or SB.
