mark
i never said it is an original engine car
I'm not saying i know more then you when it comes to camaros or any body here for that matter
but i do know common sense and i use it often
no body said the original owner change the line the next day the chance of that is 0 but some one could have a few years lather if they wanted a Holley and you do agree that if only one line from tank comes out then the tank came down right an if they went that way then why not take the line out right?

your say you know its not an L78 because it a L35 code so your saying it is a L35 car im confuse

all im saying is don't make a bold statement if your only guessing

mark, you asked Which of these two events do you think happens more often changing a fuel pickup and fuel lines or putting a big block in a small blcok car?
let me asked you,  Which of these two events do you think is alott more easier that should answer your question

this is the guys Q&A

Do any 1969 L35 (396, 325 hp) have a single fuel line? I believe I have a 1969 RS/SS and everything seems to check out except the lack of dual fuel lines. It does not have any evidence of dual lines at the sender or along the attachment points under the body.

Also this is great site with a lot of information. I greatly appreciate all the hard work that goes into develping and maintaining it.

I assume this is the date stamped on the right front. It reads T1130TG which would be Nov. 30 1968? The block date cast date code is K 1 8. I am not certain the heads are original as they have a date code of K 29 8. Would it be odd for the engine to be assembled the following day? I am very new to these codes and only know what I see on CRG. The transmission was replaced in 1980 when I purchased the car, my dad later discarded it. No one seemed to mind changing anything else from original so I would be suprised it someone went to the effort of restamping the VIN on the block. The rear axle ratio was 3.07:1 the guy I brought the car from gave me the original ring and pinion. It has 4.11:1 right now. I can't find the rear end codes written down anywhere, I will have to get it from the car later. I have never paid attention to the location of the brake line bracket, I will check that also. Thanks.
 

Is there a reason someone would change the fuel line and tank sending unit? The car was modified significantly in the 1970's with aftermarket aluminum intake, headers, holley carb., etc.. It seems like a lot of trouble to go to remove the lines and replace them with an original looking single line. Everything else appears valid including JG engine code and block casting # 3955272. Any other thoughts?

First to answer the remaining questions from the prior post. I checked a few things tonight. The rear axle BR 1130G1 it has an E below. BR so that is a 3.07 positive traction 12 bolt, all checks. 1130 November 30th which also seems to check to the date of my car. G=Detroit, 1=first shift and E=Eaton positive traction unit. The front brake line brackets are on top of the frame.

I also looked at the heater core and verified the hose exit location for a big block.

Yes, it is a 12A Norwood car. I will need to remove the back seat and check for x codes, I don't recall anything like that from previous times the seat was out.
 
 

you got it all wrong
dud you really need to read  before you give your advice       1 point taken back!
all im saying if you cant say it is a big block then dont say it not
jay
ps if your going to remove the tank to change the sending unit to a single   i know i would take the line out like i said it just takes a few min

mark you say that It's much more likely that the engine is not original than to find an L35 with a single fuel line.
it only takes 20 minutes to take the return line out maybe some one didn't like to cap the line,
maybe  they wanted a good job, i find your answer a little hard to believe you cant make that statement when you didnt even take the fact that it had mods done to it
you guys must remember back when these cars was new they didn't buy them because they was classics or because they was going to be worth allot of money, not even in the 80s did  any one think this
they didn't, think No! i better not change any thing to the car its not going to be worth $50-80-K in 40  years from now,  or that some guy on CRG is going to say its not original
in fact if you was to tell them back in the day that your car is going to be worth 50k they would tell you  that your  stupid to say the least

they got these cars to be driving and yes race,yha allot of cars got engine swoops but they also got carburetors changed, engines blew up and at the time of repairs they might of don eall kinds of mods and yes some people was going to put a holley  on none holley cars and same people was going to put a Quadra jet on none Quadra jet cars  to save on gas remember gas in the 70s was a short
so to tell this guy that, is not right when the fact is people done many deferent things to their cars for 

i fund the original owner of my car and he showd me a few pics of the car when he first got it, it was and happy to say it is a  real z he ghanged the carb to a quad becouse it was a better on gas and it was better on race day
all i'm saying is dont juge a car base just  on factory, but on what may have  been done by owners also
after all is siad and done must cars from the sixty are not all original
owners of these cars  was mod crazy

i have a car that sould have a single fuel line, but it have two
 my car was modified significantly  with aftermarket aluminum intake, headers heads, by the original owner a few years  after he  got the car new  maybe he owned both our camaros and switch the fuel lines
