That paint is absolutely stunning, unreal

Exactly!

----What a Nova! Just the best color that year and then L79 makes this car an absolute home run.....Bill S

That car is Sick!

Magnificent specimen.

What a fantastic find … Was the 3607 carb used in place of the 3245 when smog was installed ? Where is the amplifier for the transistor ignition , also does it have its own harness aswell ?

This is the location of the T.I. amplifier on the early GTO’s.

They get warm so this location helps the cooling of the amplifier.

Thanks, We feel pretty lucky to have been able to purchase it and help preserve it.

Yes, the 3607 is the correct for the K19 A.I.R option in 66. I've attached some pictures. All the emission hose's have part numbers which you could barely see before I cleaned them all.

The TI Box is mounted below the wiper reservoir and above the horns, it does have it own harness as well. I've attached some pictures

Compared to total 66 L79 Chevy II production, I can't imagine there were too many produced with smog. The tooling amortization costs for all those extra formed hoses, brackets, tubing, etc. has got to be pretty high. Thanks for doing such an amazing job of preservation and documentation on this incredible car :worship:

Hi Jay,

Excellent photos of more engine bay components!
Love the part numbers inked on the hoses.

When you have time could we see both decals on the valve covers.

Since I’ll never be able to view this car in person, I’ve made a folder of all your pics to scrutinize at my leisure.

Thank you, Chris.
