I'm looking for smog brackets for a 68 L78 motor. Anybody know who makes reproductions? Or possibly have originals for sale?

[70 Forest Green Zee]

Jim...did you check with Joe out at the Parts Place in Elburn? He usually has all that stuff.

[wheelhop]

NO, not yet. He's usually a last resort because he's on the expensive side and not very friendly.

There a set of 68 bb brackets on ebay for 400.00. Thanks guys for the pics people say the hi perf pumps had the persure releave valve on top?

Here is a survivor engine shot, I believe the car had about 12K miles at the time.

I think the pressure valve started on the 68s.I do not think 67 cars had them at least in the camaro lineup.
