My 70 LS-6 project - Page 8

I thought this "907" air cleaner was wrong for an LS-6 car due to it's position of the crank case breather tube not being 45 degrees?

You are right Bill, a 907 does not have the correct base for a 70. Looks like a real nice project you have there Ian. Like most projects, a few incorrect parts get collected and you learn along the way what's right and what's wrong. My favorite color for a 70 is Fathom Blue. Looks like it's going to be awesome. I look forward to more pics.

I dont think hes using the 907 for this car. if you look at the pics theres a 70 base in there.

Yes you caught me [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img],The 907 was for a customers 68 that i got scorched on.
I do however have the original base and lid for this car.
As i was taking pics i was placing things on the table from two different shelves (also note the incorrect engine lift brackets)

(have 3 -70's)

Thanks Chris, You probably dont remember but the NOS side view mirror i got from you about 8 years ago at Carlilse. You had a spot and were with Larry (mostly chevelle) and were very helpful. Thanks again! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Great thread with detailed pictures. Thanks for sharing.

One question.....I'm looking at the oil dipstick. The loop/handle is round not flat. It seems that everyone wants the flat one. Is there a difference is years or manufacturers? Can you tell us what, if any, part number is stamped on it?

Here are a some pictures of a coupld of dipsticks that I have. Neither of them have a part number on them.

Kurt,
Both flat handle and round handle sticks were used in 70. The trick is in the specification wording, 69-70 sticks should read USE GM 6041-M-QUALITY MS OIL. I don't think the SE rating came out till later. But original 70's have popped up with round handles and the 6041 spec.

Man My Chevelle was built and spent most of it's life in california and it wasn't that clean. Nice Car. Can't wait to see it done.

Kurt, Good call it has the SE rating, now its only good for whipping the dude that sold it to me. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Also I do appreciate all the helpful replys and positive comments so that when it comes time to go back together it will be correct.
