1970 L-46 Steel Advance Tube

Many years ago I realized that the L-46 tube wasn't repop'd by anyone. Just about any other motor, just not the 70 L-46?? So I've been on a mission as some here know.

Many have been asking lately about my progress on this tube, and where to get it. I posted this on another forum. I had a lot of help and input from people here so I thought there might be some interest.
Needless to say I have no financial interest in this, just another hobbyist trying to help out.

Got an email from Tom at Classic Tube. They have the program to fabricate the tube His email:

DENNIS

YOUR FRIENDS CAN ORDER THE VACUUM LINE FROM US @ $20.00 IN STAINLESS OR $15.00 IN OE STEEL USE PART NUMBER CVO1004-SS FOR STAINLESS OR CVO1004-OE FOR STEEL

This repop'd tube was copied from a know original, after lots and lots of checking and measuring with other know originals, until I was confident it was correct. The bends and fit are exact.

As I said they are made in single flare because Classic does not have the double flare stock.(I'm working on that). Once installed you cannot see the difference.

Here's the original Dave J was kind enough to let me borrow

Here's on original on the car. Really cleans up the hose mess. As I said, once installed you can't tell if there is one or two flares. Photo (courtesy Stan F)

Dennis,

That's nice. The '71 LS-6 vacuum steel line is unique, only to its application, also. It's listed in some vendors catalogues, but is incorrect for this application.
