Anyone know where to get and or part #'s for the hose, grommet, and connector for an L-48.
It is the hose that goes from the crankcase air filter in the air cleaner assembly to the passenger side valve cover near the rear.
It is on page 101, 6 C8 in the factory assembly manual.....parts # 10, 16, and 17. I have not seen the correct parts offered in catalogs.
Thanks

Paul,
I looked in the catalog. All they show is an elbow and a hose. All of the other catalogs list the same stuff. Nobody has the connector that goes into the valve cover that the hose hooks to.

Dal777 -
They are there. Do a
"valve cover grommet" search and you will find them. ;)
Paul
Still cant find the piece ("connector") that goes between the hose and grommet.
AL :)

The "connector" (as per the AIM) I believe you are looking for can be found be doing a
"air cleaner elbow" search. :)
Paul
If you look at the picture, it is not an elbow. (You can buy an elbow)
It is a straight piece.
Dal.. the connector to the valve cover IS a 90 degree elbow that fits into the grommet on the pass rear valve cover. Be careful of what hose you order. There is a hose there for the cowl inducted air cleaner that has less of a curve to it.
You can find these parts at Ricks as well.
good luck
Dal,
You are correct, it is a small straight connector as it is shown on page 101 of the '69 AIM.
Here is a shot of mine, you can't see the connector but it is like the one in the AIM. I could not find anywhere to buy it repop and after about 9 months of searching I found an orig. one at Calisle for $1.00. I know someone who found a hose at the auto parts store that matched pretty well and just cut the bottom off the 90 degree tube to make the connection.

You got it Billy!
That is the part I need.
Anybody have one?
Thanks
I found the connector at a local chevy dealer. $5.31 !!!!!!!!!
Hose and grommet discontinued in 1988. Not available.
Dal... oops
I have the L48 as well and assumed they were all the same. Open element vents differently!
nice to see you found what you needed. 8)
Yea, it is just a straight
piece of pipe. I could not
believe my local chevy dealer had
them. I bought three! The hose
is not available so I got a radiator by pass
hose that works great.
