Went and looked at a 70 L78 Chevelle this afternoon and this is part of the stash the owner had in the back of his storage area

The spacer was used on ZL1 and other high horse (L88) applications in order to clear the temperature sending unit with the curved neck.

Not on any factory-built ZL-1 Camaro. They used the standard t-stat housing with no spacer just like an L72 or L78.

The spacer was used on 396 65 vettes as Chuck said and then on 67-69 L-88 vettes.

So ZL-1's had a 660 housing?

All '69 bb Camaros located the temp sending unit in the LH cylinder head and used the '660 housing. There are vintage engine bay photos of the #3 & #5 ZL1 Camaros that show this.

Corvettes may be different.

Any chance you could post those period photos of the two
ZL-1's you mentioned?

I could scan them and send to someone for posting. Everytime I have tried it here the pix are too big.
