Thats pretty cool JR about the vins, as you know 1970 were low production volume cars.

Mike, the Blonde is my Mrs, and she is an awsome find, Palma, she is also a 1970, very nice curves and good motor too.

Here's the picture posted in the other thread, only a cell phone pic. so sorry for the weird tall format

This is #12239 built in June with Snorkles and box sheild.
But this thread rasies another question that I wondered about is the HP call out sticker on the air cleaner lid, I have a different placement than jr9170, which is correct??

Before RamJet, my 1970 LS5 had Box shield and snorkel air cleaner. (414463)

open element air cleaner stock for a 70 BB, full shield not partial was what my 70 BB had, never seen what you have on a 70, but could be??

jr9170

Eljay,the sticker placement on mine is correct.Like Alan said weird placement they could of went with the one stricken like the 71 LS5.

jr9170

LT-1,the setups like mine are out there I have seen them on other all original LS5's in the 14000and 15000 vin ranges.That is the point of this survey to see how early they started using the one piece shields. BTW what was the vin of your LS5 ?

Eljay

That's good to know, it was like when I bought the car. I bought another sticker set at Carlisle in case I wanted to put on an open element filter but maybe I will fix the HP sticker to be correct. My lid is a reproduction and not in that great of shape, but compared to yours looks to be a pretty good match.
BTW I see your in NJ, where about? I'm in the Clinton area.

Don,

Were you at the NCRS regional in Frisco, TX this past weekend?

Eljay,

That's pretty typical of the label placement on a 1970 with the closed element air filter assembly.

The air filter assembly was changed around the 12000 serial number... Hopefully, this thread may allow a more detailed determination on when this change occurred.

The distributor shielding was changed much later in 1970... Tied in with that was the use of the RFI shield under the distributor cap. There is limited information on this change, but it should have happened around the time the exterior shielding was changed.

Regards,

Stan Falenski

Stan,glad to see you respond on this thread.The NCRs manual says one piece shields were mid1600 vin range but my 70 454is a one owner in the mid 14000 vin with a one pice shield.I have seen others in the 14-15000 with them also.What is your take on this ? and I agree hopefully this survey will bring about a broad range of vin numbers and Info.

Don was there Saturday, and I was there for flight judging. (Donnybrooke Green 70 LS5)

Thanks for your help, Stan.

Any pics of your LS5 or others from the event ?

Rowdy Rat

I remember it... Really nice car... Didn't know it was yours! Thanks for bringing it out for the rest of us to see! And congratulations on your award and success with it in judging too!

I had wanted to hear about Don's car, but kept being called away by the judging teams. I felt bad about us getting interrupted while he was trying to tell me about his car... Sounds like he has a really nice one too!

Regards,

Stan
