help! correct redline tach for 69 396/325 4speed

[Charley Lillard]

In 69 all big block Camaros had smog in the US. It didn't matter if it was solid lifter or not.

[Mr70]

I thought it was all 1969 Big Block Hydraulic lifter engined Camaros with MANUAL trans.were built with A.I.R.
And ALL the Solid lifter 1969 Camaros with Auto & Man. Trans,got A.I.R. also.
Meaning the MANUAL trans. was the deciding factor for the Non solid lifter engines,because the drivers feathered the clutch,& had a Higher possibilty of Pollutants.

Well here's a '69 Chevelle--396/350--never heard about auto or 4sp.being immune from the Federal Clean Air Act ----

[Mr70]

That looks like a Manual Trans Chevelle engine picture to me & that should & does have A.I.R.(No TH Vacuum line next to the Distributor)
I have similar 69 Chevelle factory Hydraulic engine pix & they too Have A.I.R. w/Man. trans.,yet the same engined Chevelle w/Auto. Trans. does NOT have A.I.R.
For 1969,I thought the BB Camaros were the same Scenario as the BB Chevelles.

For 1970,ALL the Solid Lifter Engines received A.I.R.
But starting this year,the BB Hydraulic engines did NOT receive A.I.R. anymore,regardless of Trans. type.
Starting in 1970,all Engines & trans type received the new TCS-Transmission Control Spark System.

HMMmmmmmm------
That is a 4sp. photo .....was trying to sneak it by -----I really never gave it much thought--gotta check----freakin Rick

[Bill Pritchard]

Joe,

That also doesn't look like a Qjet carb under the air cleaner base and it definitely isn't a Qjet fuel line going to the carb Don't believe everything you read in photo captions!

[JoeG]

What's this world coming to when you can't believe magazine editors Got me-- ---Looks like a Holley on a aluminum hi-rise with the open element base----I'm gonna have to complain to the editor---1969--

OK...One more time.. All US big block 69 Camaros had smog. I am no expert on Canadian cars but the US ones got smog. Even the low hp auto trans 396 cars. Ever see those goofy two piece smog tubes for the pass side of a 396 325 hp auto ac car ? Chevelles with auto in 69 with the closed element air cleaner , slanted down snorkel had no smog...

[Kurt S]

Charlie's right. All 396 Camaros got smog in 69. My L35 auto came with it's original pump and tubes.....

SB manuals got smog, but not SB autos.

[Alss]

I also beleive it was manual trans 350 hp cars that got smog for 69.
