Restoration / Re: Bowtie Sticker on Valve cover

« on: February 09, 2010, 07:43:12 AM »

The "Bowtie" or "Tonawanda" sticker's can be purchased at many aftermarket Camaro dealer's/catalog's.
Rick's Camaro Athen's Georgia has them, but so do many places.
My dilemma with that same decal is IF mine was to have had one at all. I do have the Tonawanda Engine on my 69 307/200.
Mine is the basic no option Camaro. This sticker was on the car when I bought it in the 1980's and along with the car being run down and dirty, the sticker was very faded, original in every appearance as to having been placed on the car when new.
The problem now is, when I'm looking to replace the decal, these place's all say in their catalog's the it was located on the Front of the Left/Driver's side & only on a Big Block.
Mine was located on the Front of the Right/Passenger side of my little Tonawanda 307.
Having trouble locating anywhere that can show decal placement location's on a first generation Camaro.

Thanks for the quick reply !....I do have that in the factory 1969 "Assembly Instructions" Manual M38-A3 (page 359). I think that's a larger engine. Series 12000.
Were looking at the same Manual but in a different format I suppose i.e. page number's differing, but same material.
The 1969 blue "Motor Manual" show's it going into a front port of the carburator just below the fuel line titled" spark advance & modulator vacuum port".
There is a second heat & vacuum port at the rear of the carburator as well, however, that is not shown.
Has anyone out there actually connected this Modulator Vacuum line to the Carburator with a "T" and hose's?..or, are you running the 2BBL vacuum out of the intake manifold..?
I had been informed the intake manifold 3/8" vacuum port was ONLY for the power brake option...and to provide the needed vacuum to the brakes, otherwise, it was plugged.
I don't have power brakes.
I realize this may be a harder question, as I'm one of the few out there, probably, that still has a factory Norwood application 2BBL on a little standard 307, with no options.  I wish to bring it back to factory specs. Most people, I'm informed, build their 69's up with 4 BBL's..totally different.

Where does the Transmission Modulator Vacuum Line connect to after it leave's the Modulator..?
Here's the stat's on the car:
69 Camaro 307....with a 2 BBL. Rochester 2GV Carburator....NO air...NO power brakes...the standard, no option basic Camaro.
Oh yes, the Modulator is on the "right" side of the 350 Turbo Hydromatic Transmission.
Thanks...Judy
