Was wondering because I have never seen them on a survivor '70 Chevelle.

All of the 65/66 engines we had seemed to have them fitted but as Keith said I never seen any after that and we had two 70 l-78's.I also parted a 69 and a 70 nova BBC and they didnot have them but they could have been removed or maybe it is one of those canadian things again where something was used in the US but not canada.
