My 70 SS L-48/4spd Camaro also has Transmission Controlled Spark, as does the L-34.

-----Darren,,,Engine looks great! Im certainly no authority but wouldnt the PCV hose go around the front of the motor, not the back. I never like its proximity to the throttle linkage when it goes around the back, but thats me........Bill S

Bill-

It hangs on two clips mounted on the rear of the dual snorkel air cleaner.. Thanks to all for the compliments.

That's been a topic of discussion on my car too Bill. My car didn't have the clip on the back of the dual snorkle and the PCV hose has always been routed to the front.

It's been pointed out to me by many 'experts' in the field. I know how it was delivered and I know how it's gonna stay.

Lookin' Great D! And if you want the fuel line bracket give me a call. I have a spare.

Does Gavin get the first ride?
