1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details

[XXXGoldL34M20]

The hood is back on and all lined up.
Triple checked everything and re-torqued some bolts.
Main gas line was Rubbing against the new Harmonic balancer Damper (this could of been a disaster while driving) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] managed to bend the pipe with nice clearance wedging a thin piece of wood and using a long flat head screwdriver to give it the clearance.
It is so important to go over everything 2 to 3 times after a re-build as you may over look something.

Installed the rear Walker tail pipes/Inline Tube hangers and GM tips and the front has the down pipes from Pypes which are not a bad fit but i added Gasket donut flanges, hammered out a flat spot for a bit of clearance were it goes by the crossmember and cut the drivers side pipe to even out the length as that side comes about one foot to long. The mufflers will be the 1969 Chambered exhaust in the center. My brother in law is dropping off the car trailer and off to the muffler shop the car goes this week.
After the car returns from the muffler shop i will take off the Holley Carb and off to Eric it will go. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Looking at the undercarriage keep in mind that this car has never had a frame off resto [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

No,
It is actually an original 1970 Chevelle Hose Retainer that has been modified to fit the bolt on the bell housing to act as a clip.
I put it there for more support for the speedo cable.
Good eye DL (the part does look like it belongs there though)
The other support clip on the floor is the Original.

Here is what an original speedo clip would look like.

Thanks Rick, one of our Buick restorers had some made, but could not tell if they were different design then the Chevrolet design. Or if the Chevrolet ones were re poped ? I'll post a pic of one later off the car. The originals had a T on them.
