Any pics of 70 small block overflow hose strap and routing?

[Steve D.]

I need to see where the strap is located on the inner fender and what it even looks like. After hours of searching, I can`t find Terry`s picture.

Pat, that is not what I had in mind. My 1970 has a copper/brass radiator and the overflow hose -- the one from just below the radiator cap, fits into this plastic strap-like retainer. It is hard to get a photograph because it is down low on the inner fender where the sun don't shine.

Steve, I can get to it Friday or Sunday if no one else comes forward. I'll just take another picture.

Sorry, I didn't realize his routing was different. His base 70 4-speed must have AC to be similar to an LT1?

Good point, Pat. Maybe Steve will tell us and I can save myself a trip to the garage.

Yup, his does have AC according to his profile, I missed it the first time when I glanced at it. Sorry, looks like a garage trip is still in your future.

I know where this is going to go. After I post the picture -- the question will be: "Where can I get one?"

Terry,

Will you give me your 'plastic, strap like retainer' so I can sell it to Steve.

Your loyal friend,

Mark

My hunch is that removing it in one piece would be a challenge. How about you buy the whole car? Could you lower yourself to own a small block? You look like a big block kind of guy.

Lowering myself is easy. It's getting back up that's a struggle.

Re: Any pics of 70 small block overflow hose strap and routing?

No Terry,
Once I know what it looks like, I will trudge through junkyards and swap meets to look for one.i don`t mind looking as long as I know what the devil I am looking for
The only other question I have would be could I find this on another Chevy like a Camaro,Chevelle or Impala?
I have a feeling that this part is in the hen`s tooth category.

Steve

I think I have seen it, or at least something very similar on other Chevrolet models -- but I can not remember what. Sounds like we need the part number genius to work on it.

Thanks Terry. Exactly how does that thing attach to the inner fender.

Thanks Terry,
Yea, I know I would not be lucky enough to get an exact one. But it will do till when or if I get the correct one. Besides, a ballpark one is better than nothing at all.
