Ah well there you go. It is a 69 engine. What do you recommend? Find some 70 valve covers or just route the hoses as they are and let it be? The 70 routing really does seem to be better.
Ah cool. That's informative. I'll have to study it a bit better tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Just finished up my window channel and floor welding project.
Personal preference, really. I sourced a '70 air breather and valve covers for my '69 dated engine just to make it look right. If not I would use the '69 air breather and make it easy on yourself for hose routing.
I think I had a 70 single snorkel air breather on this prior, so the routing still sucked. haha. I'll eventually source out some 70 valve covers, I believe.
Depends on how "correct" you want things to be.
Yeah, that stinks. The biggest "issue" is routing the hose from the air cleaner to the oil housing tube. I think I'm going to have to route it under the throttle linkage. Otherwise, it look like it will sit on top of the linkage.
Or you can reinstall the covers correctly.
Well, then as Big John said, the guides for the plug wires will then be on the wrong sides.
Yes, that is what I plan on doing. I have too many other things I need to buy for the car at the moment tho, so weird routing of the vacuum hose it'll be for the time being. Seems like they go for $250 and up from what I've seen....
I'm kind of curious about your linkage setup. Could you post a pic of that?
I just duplicated what it was like on the carb when I got it. Seems to work well without issue.
