You did but our car does not have gauges so this is not the right one per Solb44's photo, correct? Also, the original engine block was found with this angled fitting still in it albeit angled wrong.

We are not sure of the changeover or plant variance either but I have had a few people send me photos of their survivor cars showing the hoses and special clamp without the vent exactly like our car is so there was obviously two different designs at one time. I will be restoring the car exactly how it was found at 19,000 miles.

I did not send them directly to you - If I recall I forwarded them to you via Woj. If I recall Woj's words exactly: "I will be the clearing house for all technical information on this Nelson project?" ...or something to that effect! ;>))

ah ha. Got them but seems to me they were a slightly different photo. Thanks for sending them regardless. Everyone who has been helping me with this project is much appreciated. I think I am wearing out my welcome with Phil though. ;) He has been great and am about ready to make the 10 hour drive to go over his car. I tried doing it at MCACN but that was a wasted effort as I was only able to ever see 5 cars in two days.

did your car have the Yenko installed SW gauges - oil amp watertemp?
there would be holes for the gauge panel and holes in the firewall to run the lines.

I don't think Yenko used the oil pres sending unit when the SW gauges were installed

Chad's Yenko was equipped with the aftermarket gauges so he had the plastic line (as seen in the upper left corner of the photo). Unfortunately my photo from that time is lousy and does not show the fitting at the block. Our car had no extra gauges other than the pedestal tach. The only holes in out gauge panel were for the tach. It is odd how our fitting was turned down though the engine had been worked on so who knows.

Rick, the body and paint are excellent so far. Your suspension and chassis work is very high level also. That is going to be an outstanding car!

My 4A Baltimore built 69 Chevelle SS survivor has the exact same vent set up as Rick’s car does. I’ll post a picture if I can resize it. Rick also has the photo if he wants to post it.

I have a January built Baltimore 69 SS Chevelle that only has the tubes as well. It was restored 30 years ago. Has the same bracket as Rick’s.

Here they are. Note that both Phil's and our hoses are too long to even get a vent on. These are the original ribbed hoses and not replacement. The bracket will also not fit the vent at least when I tried with my bracket and a repop vent. I also posted a picture of Grady Birch's car WITH the vent.
