Super nice Rick! X2 on the rearend but it certainly applies to E-V-E-R-Y thing. Agreed with the cost and I'm on the same path with my '69 L78 134 car. It bleeds the wallet but the green is replaced with a constant smile.
I did notice your brake distribution block was brass, that appears to be a mid '69 changover from the cast version. Your thread has filled a couple voids of info. on my own resto so thanx for that! |

This particular Chevelle came with the brass unit and this is the very unit that was with the car after I restored it.

they sell it has fitting 1968 to 1970 but some say it is 69 only? I know they used to be hard to find so people would replace them with a home made unit. it used to be hard to find but they repop it now https://www.opgi.com/chevelle/CH28013/ |

Thanks for the input Joe. A ton of research has been done on this fuel surge plastic piece since I originally tore the car down. You are right that many of the 69 Chevelles used this piece but not all. This was determined by not only looking at some unrestored survivors but also really looking hard at our car as it was disassembled.
For starters, there are two different bracket designs. One for the 2 fuel vent line mounting and one for the plastic vent mounting (see photos). My bracket that is on my car will NOT fit over the plastic vent. If you mount my bracket on a car with the vent, the vent will simply try and flop over. Also, the ones with the vent had a foam material in the vent opening while mine had the same material within the hose itself. I have confirmed this with a couple of survivor COPO owners so I have no doubt this to be correct. I am a firm believer in "never say never" and believe that mine is the correct way for our car.

I have to admit, I have never seen one like that before. More research needed I guess. I can only imagine how hard one of these will be to find. I cannot seem to get it to post here either due to it being an .png file.
