The temp sender is on the other head in the front.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Bingo! Different wire harness' necessitated the temp unit to be installed in the other head where there were no wire holders, and no clippie!

Chuck and I were discussing this difference at SCR7.

If I had a Deuce..I would know that.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Actually, if the deuce had the Yenko installed Dixco gauge option, the gauge sending unit would be in the passenger side head. This was either to leave the TCS system intact, or because it was easier to run the gauge probe over to the passenger side - I'd vote the later, as I don't believe that the guys installing the gauges knew that the factory gm temp probe also incorporated the TCS system.

Say the word, we'll find you a deuce!

mrrec, Can you send me your private Email or, I will try to contact you. I am very pleased(and curious about) your company can make spring clips.
Jack Seymour owns TWO 70 Z's both having the TCS clip.
I will ask him about (and link this thread to him) "loaning"
OR taking HIGH resolution close up pics of TCS clip.
Borrowing or getting good pics of the L-78 Air Cleaner clip might be more difficult.....
I'll have to re-read a thread at www.nastyz28.com and see if TCS clip part # was found.....

Good eye on the alt bracket......Of the ?? unknown number of 1970 Camaro L-78's still around, there is only one I know that is concours restored. Joey Gray from North Carolina will have his Hugger Orange version at Carlisle for LEGENDS judging and all of us to oogle over......
Eric's above car was a race car, that he did a body on resto. He acquired the needed removed parts from several sources. I better let him give any more detail, as I do not have the FACTS.....
Almost every other L-78 that I know of (maybe 12-15) is either in need of restoration, been painted wrong color, missing original powertrain, air cleaner, wheels, etc etc.
There is the LOW milage Citrus Green 70 L-78 Camaro that Don Stowers reassembled, quite a while back.....I've lost track of it, but it had quite the story....
