Just curious. Are those old road test photos of 396/375 hp cars or 396/350 hp cars? Or Both? When I got my car from the original owner, it didn't have the hose bracket. It also didn't have the front engine lift bracket on the front of the intake manifold. Does it show any of the lift brackets in the photos?

Neither the L34 nor the L78 seemed to get the heater hose bracket, though I did see one exception. That one is the Motion phase three car from Cars Magazine in 69 . Not a good example, because of the many other changes that were made on that car. All of the cars that I have pictures of do have the lift brackets. If you still have the original alternator bracket , you can look in the hole and see if it looks like a bolt was screwed into it before. Mine did not seem to have any threads cut into the holes.

Mine must just be a weird one all together.

If you look close, you can see the battery cable bolted to the block.
