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

Rick,
1)Can you help me provide evidence that 70 Camaro L-78's should ONLY have the 2nd design, over the valve cover style of smog "tree" and hose ????? ..... as I have NEVER SEEN a as built picture of a 70 Camaro L-78 engine compartment.

2)I feel that the few restored 70 L-78 Camaros having smog are wrong, because either vendors like Hoedel and Greenhoe provided incorrect tree and hose or the L-78 owners copied 69 L-78's and installed wrong tree and hose.

3)Is it true that Crane Corvette supply offers the best repop left tree, however NOT correct as Original.

4)Any evidence that original trees were BLACK ZINC plated, even though well known vendors like Hoedel or Greenhoe may apply something else.

Below pics show 70 Camaro assy manual page. There is another LS-6 page (canceled/never built) that shows 1st design tree......and two examples of 70 L-78 Camaros with wrong left tree.....






Not my intent to hi-jack this thread. If that be the case I can search for a smog thread and start over...........
