Anyone have pictures of the hose fasteners location and routing for a 1970 air grabber . Thanks

Well... I found these 3 pictures online

My factory service manual shows a '69 air grabber , so that's no help. From what I "vaguely recall from somewhere" I think the 3rd picture with the red hood is correct. I'm sure other more knowledgeable people will chime in. I have a couple of the original clips in my hood, so maybe I can figure it out from there if you get stuck.

Here is mine, just took the pic.

Here's mine. Looks like I'm missing some clips based on 440+6's pics.

Thank you what does the solenoid do?

The solenoid is powered with the key so the air grabber automatically closes with the key off even if you leave the dash switch in the raised position.

The '69 was a simple cable, pull to open, push to close. Seems like they over complicated the '70.

The 70 was a totally different setup with the air grabber lid in the center of the hood lifting up with the shark teeth decal on the side. It was as much for a bad-*** look as it was for function. The slow rising and lowering of the lid by the vacuum actuator just adds to that IMHO.

Looks like I'm missing 3 clips. Anyone have any to sell? I can get a repop set of 6 on Fleabay for $20 but only need 3.
