Looking for 1970 engine pics with chrome ignition shielding installed.
I'm looking for pictures to show the ignition shielding on a 1970. We go a box with all the parts (I think) and not sure how it all goes together.
BTW - a descripition of install would be really helpful.

Here is my 75 - I think it is very close.

The '70 has a two piece center section - with a top that hold down with 3 screws.

The 70 has sides that go with it. Plus the legs that go down the side of the block.
Here is my upper portion only.

If you are concerned with being factory correct.
Midway thru 1970 GM changed the sheilding to the '71 and up sheilding.
Mine was built in June and has the '71 style.

The transition was around serial number 12,000 for the ignition shielding in 1970. You might also check out the 1970 Registry website. Many of the members have webpages of their own with lots of photos of their babies. :) ~Juliet

The shielding that went over/around the distributor started out as a two piece unit with a lid, it then went to a one piece unit with a lid, and the final version was just an extended lid.
While all cars had the (non-chromed) heat shields between the sparkplug and exhaust manifolds, the early cars have chrome shields that cover the spark plugs in pairs (cyl 1-3, 5-7, 2-4, 6-8), later cars only had the chrome shielding over cyl. 5-7 & 6-8.

Ignition shielding pictures
There is plenty of drawings avail.but no real pictures of the side shielding below the exhaust manifolds,everybody took them off because it was a major pain to change the plugs.Theres plenty of pics of the dist.coil and wire shields.
