That could not be truer. It is getting harder and harder to find cars in this shape to restore and they are sure a pleasure to restore when they are like this not too mention far less expensive.

No way to know how many were made but likely in about the same area as convertibles.

I thought all LS6 cars came with A.I.R. systems. The manifolds on it do not appear to have been tapped. No holes or plugs.

I see that it has the AIR and chrome valve covers in the BJ pictures. When they restored it, they must have re-installed the good stuff.

HELP,
Does the TCS relay/switch get mounted on the firewall on an Automatic LS6 and on the wire gutter on a 4SPD LS6????? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Just wondering, as I compared pics of Danny T's (XXXBlackLs6M22) '70 LS6 Chevelle compared to this ElCamino's (before resto) pics.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Dicky good eye, you are correct.
Should be on the Wire Gutter.
I have never seen one attached on the firewall but anything was possible back in the day[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] i personally think it is incorrect also but an easy fix all the same. There was no difference in the Auto or 4 Speed in location by the way.The White LS6 in the link has the TCS switch on the wire gutter like my car does.

They did.
Based on the few pics posted,it looks like it's a mid '70 year assembly &amp; had some incorrect parts put on it,both then &amp; now,but all can be fixed.
1969 Master cylinder,then &amp; now.
1969 drivers side ex. manifold.,now.
1969 engine pull hook,now.
Cowl leaf grilles,now.
Nice to see it has the correct LS-6 w/a 4:10 upper radiator hose &amp; top radiator panel...many over look that.

All the wrong things the car has is easy to correct.
Over all a beautiful El Camino.
Should have the side post battery as well and the small circles on the dash should be black not silver, i bet it has the over the counter angled washer bottle as well as the bottle looks very bright [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

It's possible it came with an R-59 top post battery originally.
Very few did,but possible.
