Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[mockingbird812]

Hey Rick. Is there any cover or remnants of a cover or shield of some sort at the open ends of the vent hoses to prevent contaminants from entering the fuel tank?

This is what I found inside my hoses when I was cleaning them. It was in both hoses but I was not expecting it so when I blew out the small hose it instantly atomized it. lol

Ah yes you showed that before and it didn't register with me. But, it looks like the General considered contaminants getting into the tank. Will you put cotton or other barrier in there to take care of this (you know, for all of those puddles you and Annie will be taking your Chevelle through) ;>) ?

These tubes travel right up to where the structure metal goes horizontal and that would provide some protection from debris. I’d also say this isn’t in a high splash area either and there wouldn’t be much of a water/contamination issue. For that matter, the plastic vent only had foam in it too, at the junction port, and would have been just as susceptible to contaminants. JMHO.

Rick,
did you get any original tires with it?
what are you going to use for tires?
that is the most difficult part to find for a Yenko Chevelle

I will fill in that part of the story shortly.

I have theee I believe one was a 69 Chevelle but do not remember what trans it had

[tom406]

That 979xxx tag is from a Pontiac transmission, a '68 GTO spec M20 I think.

The other one was from a 69 Chevelle just do not remember if it was from m20 or m21
