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.

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]

Maybe this is what you're lookin' for?? This one is basically untouched original!!

How about detail?? This is Bob's L79........ Anything in particular you are needing pics of ???

Here's another......... not, the only basic difference is I have a lower mounted alternator..(not stock!)

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.

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]

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!!

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]

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 !!)

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.

[Chip Beck]

Thanks for all the good pictures; helps alot. Chip

[novacars]

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]

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]

red x,s for me too!

[69NovaSS]

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]

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 .
