Ignition shield on a AIR 68 small block

[Jeff P.]

Is it possible that a 68 L79 SB has no right front (3934218) ignition shield due to the air compressor and hardware? The car I'm restoring didn't have one. Going back in the threads I saw this question asked but no one chimed in. Thanks, Jeff.

Most likely was tuned up the first time at the Chevrolet dealer and they did not put it back on. When I worked at a Boston dealer in the late sixties they never put any of the shields back on.
