build dates of hood tach vent cars
all
while walking around at the GTOAA meet here in WI I looked at just about every 70/71 car that was in attendance. I was looking for cars with this hood tach hose. I saw ONE...Uncle Judge had a 71 car there with an original set up. that was it. very few 70 cars there that were built after January of 70.
My 1970 car was built 06A and still has the original nipple on the heater box with an NOS filter. the very tip of the nipple is broken but can still be used. however I have reached out to Dean to see if he still has any repops left so I can have a replacement if needed.
It appears that the original nipples had a yellowish tint to them. Likelyyellowed after several thousand heat cycles.
Here is my question for the group...did the hood tach use thin wall 7/32" line or the standard thick vacuum hose? any colored stripes or ribs on that hose?
