Thanks guys. I have a set of both so was wonder which was correct.

I have seen several versions of the center caps over the years. Some with the Bow Tie in the middle and some without. Does anyone know what the correct cap would be for our first gen MCs?

Does anyone have pictures or assembly diagrams they can share showing how the vacuum lines are routed on their 454. I swapped the one on the car with an original and some of the ports dont line up exactly. The PCV one is easy but want to make sure i correctly route the air cleaner and the vacuum advance.

1970MCSS - what is the number stamped on the linkage? Cannot make it out in the picture. Also, is yours a 4 speed? DragCat - yes please post pictures and if you can find the part number on the baseplate it would be appreciated.

Does any know what the correct air cleaner is for a 70 SS 454 AC car? The one I have has the opening for the heat pipe but there is no heat pipe on the car nor does it appear there was one originally. One of the assembly manuals I have shows a dual snorkel on an LS5 but I have never seen one in person like that. Pictures would be appreciate.

I sat there and looked long and hard at a baseplate swap however I just had it restored/rebuilt and didn't want to mess with it. I will look for a correct baseplate another time so I trimmed it a bit to clear the bolt. There are additional holes in the linkage to properly mount the throttle cable so I installed a new ball stud for the throttle linkage. One of the holes is actually in a better relative position to the throttle bracket than then carb that is coming out. Once the air cleaner goes on no one will know the difference in the meantime. I appreciate all the responses. I have been working on old cars all my life and every once in a while I get stumped. Didn't think to look at the carb before I restored it to check the baseplate. Right part number, wrong baseplate. Another lesson learned.

I think it is the wrong baseplate. Number on the carb is 7040200 which from everything I researched is the correct carb.

70 SS 454 factory AC car. I found the numbers correct carb for the car but the throttle linkage is different than on the carb (incorrect carb for a 73 truck). When I installed the new carb the throttle linkage hits the rear mounting bolt for the AC bracket. Is the issue the bracket (I believe it is the correct BB bracket) or the linkage on the carb? Wondering if anyone has a picture of a 70 454 AC car they can share. If I need to swap out the linkage where do I find the correct one? Also, what is the name of the ball on the linkage where the throttle cable attaches? picture attached Pictures attached.

Does anyone have a vacuum diagram for a 70SS? I finally got a numbers correct carb but the old one has a port that is blocked with the classic "just put a bolt in it" repair job. I cannot tell where this line is supposed to go as I don't see anything missing. I'll take an engine bay picture of both sides of the carb if someone has that handy.

Two pics attached. One is a single wire connector against the firewall right next to the wiper motor. The other is behind the drivers headlight there are two wires there. They were electrical taped together for some reason. They both have 12 volts with key off. They both appear to come from the bulk head connector through the harness that runs parallel to the engine. Any ideas? It is a 70SS.

Thanks Paul. I definitely have the 3rd design as there is a pigtail connector that appears to plug into the wiper motor between the motor itself and current wiring. I think it gets grounded at the buzzer or horn relay based on the connector. I would be great if someone on the forum had a picture of the set up.

Anyone have the wiring schematic (and pictures) of the fiber optic set up? My car has the option but was removed at some point and i am attempting to get it hooked up. I believe it is grounded to the horn relay or the key buzzer circuit behind the driver side headlight and perhaps the connector ends plug into the washer motor??? Thanks

Looking for the fiber optic and the indicator assembly that mounts to the dash. I was able to get the bottle and float from Leo but need the rest. Any leads would be appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. Love learning the history of the car. My dad bought it from a guy 20years ago and restored it I bought it from him and now going through and making it as correct as possible. Does anyone have a picture of the washer jar monitor system including the correct jar? I want to know what I need to find.

Anyone know where I can find the washer jar monitor pieces?

It does. Bad picture of the engine bay. Everything is there in the rear end too just don’t have the lines.

Thanks. Does anyone know the option code for the radio? Also, any idea on the “mirror lamp” option? Is that the rearview mirror lamp?

I have a 70 SS with the CD2 washer jar monitor. I have read that it is a rare option overall but what about on a SS. How many 70SS came with that option? Also, where can I get parts and the schematic for the system. I have attached the build sheet for you to see and need help with the radio and mirror lamp codes would be. Any idea on what the radio type might be? attached photo of car too. 😀

Does anyone know the correct paint color for the compressor? Where there difference between 70 and 71? The one i have isnt the gold color i see in the pictures rather it is more like ralley wheel silver.
