Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
[ QUOTE ]
I believe Darren has a appropriately dated CKO coded engine. It is not the engine, born with his L-78 body. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for answering that for me Chuck.  I'm sure everyone is well aware that it is not the original motor. I am not hiding that fact nor do I care that it is not the "born with" motor.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
Ok, I was gonna say how in the heck did you find the original motor.
 So what is that TCS for exactly, I thought it was automatic only but maybe I'm thinking of the anti diesel solenoid. Isn't the L78 also supposed to have that fuel line support bracket that bolts up to that front carb mount stud? Looking good!
