1970 L78 Nova?

I wouldn't go off of the fuel line only. My father in law's 70 SS Nova was ordered with a 350/ 300 hp and a 4 speed, but came with a single 3/8 fuel line.

Rule of thumb is solid lifter cars had a single 3/8's fuel line and hyd.lifter cars had a return line,small and big blocks with hyd.lifters.

I took some photos of one of the clips and the bolt that holds it to the cradle. It does appear that it was blue but I post some pictures if I ever get my phone and internet back up at home. It's been out since at least Saturday morning. I see that there is a Blue '69 SS 350 on Ebay right now that appears to have a single 3/8 fuel line. It looks to be a fairly original car from the pictures, but again I'm not a Nova guru by any means. I'm not trying to create a story here, just curious as to what it may have been. I may try to search some previous owner history as was suggested and see what I can dig up. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

I see your Nova was built at the WillowRun plt.My two Novas also were built there,a 72 L48 and 70 L34 and both have a return line.

Are you from/ was the car purchased new in Waukesha? Do you have any other details on the vehicle? Color Rear gear... photos?

Weren't all Novas built in the Willow Run plant? All the ones I have done VIN search's on have been.
Also, my 71 has a single 3/8 fuel line, but it was a Rally V-8 auto from the factory. The fuel line might be one verifier, but not solely.

Novas were built at Willow Run for all years. 67 - 71's were Willow Run only. Earlier and later could be Willow Run or other plants.

Hey Greg,
Any thought on the fuel line issue??

Here is a picture of the fuel line clip and the tune-up label.

Almost makes me wonder if someone grabbed the wrong sticker. The clip looks about as original as they come.
