Originality / Fuel Filter Canister Clamp - SB BB, same?

« on: July 28, 2011, 08:08:13 PM »

Made for both small block and big block engines?  Was it the same part#?

Heartbeat City says "Camaro fuel filter canister clamp.This clamp is used on all 350/255hp, 350/300hp, 396/325hp, 396/350hp engines with Quadrajet carburetor and vapor return line."

I thought they would be different.

Originality / Correct SB starter brace / Flywheel size?

« on: July 28, 2011, 07:31:50 PM »

Hi Guys, I've got a 350/300hp, with M-20 4 speed. What would the original (stock) size flywheel be for that? 

Bought a repro Starter Brace that's doesn't fit. About an inch too long. Starter Brace description says, "Small Block for cars with 12 3/4" Flywheel."

Any help with that?

Originality / '69 Quad Carb, correct linkage

« on: July 26, 2011, 10:22:29 PM »

Anybody know of any good pictorial sources for how the throttle linkage would be set up for a '69 Camaro, 350/300hp, Quad 4MV, 4 speed manual? (Cowl Induction)

I'm doing a engine restoration and have all the correct parts, but not sure exactly how it's configured. Correct restoration photos or original GM diagrams would be great. Specifics like:  should the throttle rod be straight (as delivered repro), or does it require a bend to miss brake booster line?  Also, the carb return spring proper location – tie to the coil mount somewhere, or in the eye-hole on the thermostat housing?

Thanks...
