Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
[ QUOTE ]
-----Darren,,,Engine looks great! Im certainly no authority but wouldnt the PCV hose go around the front of the motor, not the back. I never like its proximity to the throttle linkage when it goes around the back, but thats me........Bill S [/ QUOTE ] Bill- It hangs on two clips mounted on the rear of the dual snorkel air cleaner.. Thanks to all for the compliments.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
-----OK!
 Hope you didnt take that as a diss as it wasnt intended that way. I have been looking at alot of Holley equipped cars lately trying to figure this out, but apparently the factory would run it either way. Some engineer somewhere probably had a reason.......Bill S

They are a PITA and Dennis would have know if he had them the first time he tried to take the air cleaner off.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
My car is a late build so maybe they ran out of clips. But the hose still ran around the front.
 And for the record: Rick is NOT one of the 'experts' I referred to. I used that term tongue-in-cheek. Rick has ALWAYS been open minded about the anomalies on these cars.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
That's been a topic of discussion on my car too Bill. My car didn't have the clip on the back of the dual snorkle and the PCV hose has always been routed to the front.
It's been pointed out to me by many 'experts' in the field. I know how it was delivered and I know how it's gonna stay.  Lookin' Great D! And if you want the fuel line bracket give me a call. I have a spare. Does Gavin get the first ride?

I have looked at his PCV line closely and would have to agree with him after he pointed some things out. Darren, does this mean my first ride drive is null and void and I now get another.......?
