1970-72 Cowl Induction Cable Clips All The Same?
I have been doing some research on the Cowl Induction Cable Clips in the past few weeks and was interested to know <span style="font-weight: bold">if all the plants used the same 1/8 White plastic clips, also if there were any changes in 1971 or 1972 after the 1970 year.</span>As we all know the reproduction Hood pin kits come with the large incorrect Brown clips (Bottom Photo).
Below are some photos from my archives documenting these clips.
You can see the used Original set from my car (Thrid Photo) and NOS which are identical (First and second Photos). They have a very unique 1/8 marking compared to what you find today. I did manage to finally find a pretty good match from the aftermarket world that i put a special order in from a local company here in town (Fourth Photo).
The NOS ones carry a part number of 3975343 from group 8.036 from the master parts catalogues.
I will also bring up the Cables and screws later on in this thread.
The NOS clips have been selling on ebay from $40 to over $50 recently.
