I wouldn't go off of the fuel line only. My father in law's 70 SS Nova was ordered with a 350/ 300 hp and a 4 speed, but came with a single 3/8 fuel line.

Rule of thumb is solid lifter cars had a single 3/8's fuel line and hyd.lifter cars had a return line,small and big blocks with hyd.lifters.

I took some photos of one of the clips and the bolt that holds it to the cradle. It does appear that it was blue but I post some pictures if I ever get my phone and internet back up at home. It's been out since at least Saturday morning. I see that there is a Blue '69 SS 350 on Ebay right now that appears to have a single 3/8 fuel line. It looks to be a fairly original car from the pictures, but again I'm not a Nova guru by any means. I'm not trying to create a story here, just curious as to what it may have been. I may try to search some previous owner history as was suggested and see what I can dig up. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

I see your Nova was built at the WillowRun plt.My two Novas also were built there,a 72 L48 and 70 L34 and both have a return line.

Are you from/ was the car purchased new in Waukesha? Do you have any other details on the vehicle? Color Rear gear... photos?

Re: 1970 L78 Nova?
 

Weren't all Novas built in the Willow Run plant? All the ones I have done VIN search's on have been.
Also, my 71 has a single 3/8 fuel line, but it was a Rally V-8 auto from the factory. The fuel line might be one verifier, but not solely.

Novas were built at Willow Run for all years. 67 - 71's were Willow Run only. Earlier and later could be Willow Run or other plants.

Hey Greg,
Any thought on the fuel line issue??

Re: 1970 L78 Nova?
 

Here is a picture of the fuel line clip and the tune-up label.

Re: 1970 L78 Nova?
 

Almost makes me wonder if someone grabbed the wrong sticker. The clip looks about as original as they come.
