Default Re: LS6 and L78 caccelerator brackets

Waren
thanks for your information,Interesting!
I found 6 original l78 brackets on 70 chevelles with build dates from sept to Nov 69 all had L78 brackets.
I also found about 11 brackets on ls6 Cars to be the same
ones.I never found one L78 bracket on a car built after
Dec 1 1969. I also found that the LS6 bracket on 70 Nova
built april 1970. Which would be consistant.
It does sugest that the L78 Bracket could of been the first design and was later modified because I beleive they were having trouble with the die that stamped them out and went to a simpler die design. One of those brackets shows signs of many die repairs. However there maybe cars built after
Dec 1/69 that were fitted with the L78 brackets???
Everytime I see a 70 LS6 car or a L78 car I ask the owner to check the bracket. YOurs is the first one I have run across so far with the L78 Bracket.
