Default 1970 Corvtte LT1 oil pan

Can someone tell me if this pan is the correct oil pan for a 1970 Corvette LT1 with power steering build date June 1970.

I think the 70 LT1 PS oil pan was the same the L46 oil pan and later LT1 oil pans. That looks
like the correct oil pan. It should have 3 ribs on the LH side, correct.

Thanks for replying. Yes it does have 3 ribs on the left side of the pan.

It looks correct to me as well, I have a L46 Pan and it does look the same. The easy way to recognize the performance pan is the drain plug is on the rear of the pan. Good luck the pans seem to be prone to leaking between the dipstick area and the last rear bolt. I am trying to replace my pan and cannot find one.

yes that is correct, you can see the spot welds on the outside of the pan for the internal baffle.

Thanks for the replies. I have another pan just like it but someone modified the baffle inside the pan.
Thanks again.
