As Sam said,in 1969 the BB Chevelles had that same small metal bracket to hold the PCV Rubber hose in place,but no Fuel line bkt.was used.

Rick,

I assume you're referring to Holley carb equipped 375hp Chevelles, because my Qjet equipped 325 hp 69 Chevelle has no such bracket

Thanks to everyone involved in photographing and posting the pics of these low mileage motors . I have had people questioning why the motor in my car looks so crappy (i.e., rusty and lack of paint) since the car has only 21K miles on it. These pics make it easy to see why. Everyone's memory wants to believe that the factory did show worthy paint jobs on these motors, but obviously that's not the case.

The Holley cars were the only ones. Sam

Can the experts chime in on their opinion of those carb studs ?

The Deuces got the same super tall studs, not sure why they are so long, but....

I used to think that the LT1's for the Z28 and the Deuces were identical, but I'm learning that there were some differences. At first I thought the temp sending unit was the only diff, but now maybe the dist shield and the fuel line bracket too? I didn't even know the shield and bracket existed.
