Photos of a '70 LS-5 firewall

[Tom L.]

Does anyone have any detailed pictures of an original firewall area of a '70 LS-5 with power brakes and without air that they would be willing to post?

I'm putting the wire harness and vacuum lines under the hood in this full body off restoration. I bought the car from a guy who took it apart and then gave up on the project. The engine was out and the harnesses were hanging when I bought the car, so I'm not sure how the lines/wires should be routed. I know, generally, where everything goes, but I want to make it look right. Thank you.

Hi Tom,
This will get you to the top again and perhaps some new looks.
If you don't get any 70 BB replies I'd be happy to send you some 71 SB pictures bearing in mind there will be some differences.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan. A few years ago, you introduced me to Kevin Goodman at a meet. He was kind enough to allow me to take a ridiculous amount of pictures of his '71 Bowtie, which I've followed very closely in my restoration. In this area of the car however, there are some pretty substantial differences from '70 to '71.

The wiper vacuum relay on my car is near the brake booster, where yours is under the right fender. The three vacuum lines from the wiper position switch on a '70 enter the engine compartment through a different hole than in '71. The TCS relay mounts differently, etc.

Fortunately, someone has contacted me directly and graciously offered to let me see a large number of pictures of an unrestored BB '70. Thanks.
