BOGIE 20th-February-2006, 10:44 AM Scott..... Bob (CdnL79) & I have always had a laugh about the "White throttle return spring????????? Your shot is Carl Riegger's car, right?? I heard he has since sold it?? Maybe gone thru a couple of hands so far?? Here's another one.
SparkysSS 21st-February-2006, 01:40 AM Seems like all the pics of guys showing thier L79's have the air cleaner in place. It would be nice to see a couple with the air cleaner off, to see the other various L79 details up top.
BOGIE 21st-February-2006, 10:34 AM Maybe this is what you're lookin' for?? This one is basically untouched original!!
Bogie
BOGIE 21st-February-2006, 10:38 AM How about detail?? This is Bob's L79........ Anything in particular you are needing pics of ???
Bogie
BOGIE 21st-February-2006, 10:52 AM Here's another......... not, the only basic difference is I have a lower mounted alternator..(not stock!)
1fasbu 22nd-February-2006, 01:16 AM bogus: did you find a correct carb or is there another holley alternative that is close that I could use? Do you have the right intake (snowflake)?
Any suggestions on a close alternative? I'm thinking about building a L-79 for my car complete with dress-ups. No, I will not spend $700 us for a carb, just something that is close would be great.:)
Thanks, Floyd.
SparkysSS 22nd-February-2006, 01:29 AM How about detail?? This is Bob's L79........ Anything in particular you are needing pics of ???
Bogie
Bogie, the picture you posted is great help. Could you show a good picture of the L79 Rear Oil Vent Tube and Right side upper Spark Plug wire support. It would be a great help, Thanks !!
BOGIE 22nd-February-2006, 11:17 AM Here's a pic that might help !!....... fasbu, I have a Holley 3367 carb which is identical to the 3345, and it is still available new from Holley!! Yes on the "490" L79 intake. Bob (CdnL79) has one for sale, I believe!!
Bogie
BOGIE 22nd-February-2006, 11:20 AM Or this pic!!
CDAN 66 22nd-February-2006, 11:36 AM Ric, While your at it do you mind a pic of the return spring set-up and how it's mounted to the bracket on the intake.I have seen a few different set-ups and would like to see how yours is. Thanks tom:chev:
BOGIE 22nd-February-2006, 12:20 PM The bracket is an L79 item and was fabbed by Frank (novacars) copied from his original. I think we saw one on e-bat go for hugh bucks!! Easy to make up!! Still don't know if the "White" spring is correct, I just do it to bug my buddy Bob... (who has a chrome one !!)
Bogie
BOGIE 22nd-February-2006, 12:23 PM And this one....... Bogie
CDAN 66 22nd-February-2006, 12:44 PM That's great service!I have seen the 2 bolt type which I think is corvette?and paragon has 4 diff per engine application carb v/s fuel injection etc. Thanks for the pix .Tom:chev: (I think they have red & Blue springs if you want to mess with him ,get out the old rattle cans and have some real fun. Tom
Chip Beck 22nd-February-2006, 01:56 PM Thanks for all the good pictures; helps alot. Chip
novacars 1st-March-2006, 07:44 PM Hey Rick ,that is the bracket I made and had cad plated , but you have it on backwards !! it should angle to the front of the engine . The picture of Bobs engine shows the vent hose , but where is the proper vaccum advance tube , bracket , and black hose with the white stripe Bob ?. I just had to comment !!! . Frank
Grag 8th-May-2006, 08:26 PM I can't get these pictures to come up. I would love to see them.
Thanks!
Me too, can't see nothing but the red x. What is my problem??
chevynuts88 9th-May-2006, 08:53 AM red x,s for me too!
69NovaSS 9th-May-2006, 09:03 AM I think this might have something to do with the latest site crash...lots of pics posted before the crash now show red "X's" instead of the pic....Not 100% sure this is the problem just an observation on my part;)
CDAN 66 9th-May-2006, 10:07 AM Look at all the posts,don't you see a pattern !!!!! all the mystery pix's that disappeared belong to BOGIE ??????.Actually I think the pix went south before the crash I was looking at them prior and only the pix that appears now was available and all others had the red X .
