Default Re: 1970 L78 Nova 5 blade fan sold on e-bay WOW!!

Rick, I was most certainly wrong about Cumby having a L-78 Chevelle. What I meant to say, was that Cumby's Survivor LS-6 w/o cowl induction and having the Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner was a very good source of reference for 70 L-78 Camaro restorers.

What configuration of left smog tubes are the top restored LS-6 Chevelles using with and w/o cowl induction....

I am also looking for a survivor 1st design left hand smog
hose 39471?8

Just teasin ya about Cumby's car.I know through conversing with you in the past,you are fully aware of what he has.

"What configuration of left smog tubes are the top restored LS-6 Chevelles using with and w/o cowl induction"....

Most are putting on the over the valve cover tube even if it's not accurate for their early build,but either design will fit fine when Cowl Ind. equipped or not.
I believe it is due to owners not knowing there was a design difference & revision date for this tube,(as noted in the 1970 Chevelle Ass. manual),as well as most reproduction houses only carry the later issued over the valve cover design tube anyway.

My neighbor came by to look at the Nova yesterday and he was reminiscing about his rally green 69 L-78 Nova that he bought brand new in 1969 for $3400.00. He insists that it came with a clutch fan and power steering. His name is Bill Sherman and his brother is Joe Sherman. He said that he got the car to go 12.9 at Lions with open headers and a hurst shifter. The car that he owns now is a early Falcon with a twin turbo Ford small block with nitrous that dynoed over 1200 horsepower at the flywheel. This guy knows his way around cars and he insists that his car old car had a fan clucth. After seeing the last post I wonder if he had a 1968 Nova.
