Default Re: 1970 Nova L78 Intake '569' - perfomance!!

I think it might have the throttle cable - it was built 10B of 69 so i could almost get away with a 69 intake, no? Detailed pics would be extremely helpful.
Thanks
Mike

October 69 car will have a mechanical throttle...change over took place in late December/early January....as for the intake...all 1970 model year L78 cars had the low-profile intake manifold. The L-34 used a low profile cast iron intake...I'll get you some photos...

Something worth mentioning is that on the factory intakes, milling down the plenum divider & a little port matching will help the combo quite a bit, especially those engines with headers. That's the setup we're running on Red Alert...

And here's a good read about carb & intake work from our very own Eric Jackson: click
