I am restoring my L78 70 ss and have run into a mystery reqarding the accelerator bracket for the holley carb.I have dicovered that there aparently were 2 brackets installed with the part number 3972619.I have a pick of both brackets. One of the brackets is different only at the locking tab the rest is identical.I have pics of both brackets that were installed at the Atlanta plant, one in a car built in April 70 and the other built in Aug 70.I also have pics of a bracket from a car built at the Kansas City plant in Nov/69. What bracket was installed in what plant? your help would be apreciated with picks and a build date if possible. I will send you a pics of brakcets if required, Please help?
thanks

I have also seen two different 619 throttle brackets for L78 /LS6. Can anyone post pictures of their bracket including what plant the car was built engine and production date if the bracket is original to the car.

Thanks KAA,
I sent you the 2 brackets pics and hope you get them. It will be verry intersting to see which of the 2 brackets were installed on early cars especially fron the Kansas City plant because my car was built at the same plant Nov/2nd week/69.
I suspect that there was an early bracket for L78 cars 3972619, and a later bracket installed on LS6 . I sent you a pic of both brackets as I do not know how to post picks on this Post reply page.

Are you sure about that August 70 date? Most plants were building 71s in August.
