Default 3969809 Fuel line bracket

Is the 3969809 fuel line support bracket used only in `69, and was it used all year across all models equipped with L78 and L72?

Never seen this on a 1969 but have on all 1970 L78's and LS6's. Chris White reproduces an exact duplicate of this bracket. An original on the left and his reproduction on the right.

Thanks Rick
For some reason I thought it was a `69 piece.
Maybe it is on the `69's and the `70??? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

69 L-78's and maybe L-72's have a fuel line support bracket that is staked to the brass fuel tee and attaches to the manifold right beside the carb. There are repro's available, or at least there were 15 or so years ago when I restored a 69 L78 El Camino.

That's a 70 only specific piece used on 70 L78 Camaro, Nova and Chevelle as well as 70 LS6 Chevelle.
Thanks Rick N for posting up the pic of my reproduction.
