Re: 1970 Chevelle LS6/L78 Throttle Bracket Original GM
Hey Tony
That is a rare as hens teeth orig <span style="font-weight: bold">WOW I AM impressed that you have one </span> I searched 3 years for an orig one. finally found one on a 1970 ori 396 375 hp Nova. Talked the orig owner to sell it to me for big money, he capitulated as I was determined. IT was an orig bracket for a 396 375 hp car and not one for an LS6 as they are both the same number but a little different. Say hi to Rick for me Good luck PJ

Re: 1970 Chevelle LS6/L78 Throttle Bracket Original GM
From what I remember the cars built at Norwood and Willow Run in 70 (Camaros and Novas)the brackets were slighty different then the Chevelle version.
Same part different supplier.

Re: 1970 Chevelle LS6/L78 Throttle Bracket Original GM
While restoring my Canadian 1970 L78 documented chevelle,I noticed there was a difference
in the accelerator bracket. So I did some research into the difference. I found 10 0rig ls6 documented cars all had the same brackets. I also discovered that the L78 brackets were slightly different and all the L78 brackets were the same. Even I received pics of an Elcamino L78 bracket and that bracket was the same as all the rest of the L78 brackets. All were the same number. Being a tool and die maker the small difference was obvious to me. I am away on vacation so I cant post the 2 different brackets however this topic I posted pics a few years ago and must still be in the postings. PJ

Peter, either you have a car with this bracket in place or you need this bracket for a concourse restoration. If your not going to the next level then a reproduction is an alternative.

The notch & overhang near the bent tang is the difference.
