mounts
I worked in a Chevy dealer thru this recall & many more from mid 1970 to early 1975. The saftey strap kit was install on r&l side of the engine on all big cars , trucks,novas, camaros & chevelle . BIg & small block for sure. Can't remember any 6 cyls. or corvettes.
I install 100's of these for .2 or .3 of an hr. flat rate. I think Gm warranty labor rate was 8.00 an hr. & customer pay was 9.00 ???
What was as bad or worse than the throttle sticking was when engine raised up the trans linkage would pull out of the frame mount !!! Throttle stuck wide open with no way to get trans out of gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better be a quick thinker!! Seems to me the fullsize cars were the worst for doing this.
PRETTY SURE I'M RIGHT ON ALL THIS ???
BTW i worked at YENKO CHEV in canonsburg pa. !

I have 2 Chevelles both with original 307's that don't have these. 1969 & 1972 Both cars were virgin when I bought them.
Of course, there is a chance that they never made it for the recall but I'm thinking *maybe* the 307 cars may not have received this? Not sure...
I'd also like to mention that in all my years of junkyarding, I have yet to see ANY car with these in any of my local haunts. While it's possible that some could have been removed, alot of the cars had to be untouched originals. I do remember someone I met years ago that had a 1969 Impala with 327 and it had these. (the only others I've seen in person) Seems 327 cars were sure to get 'em.
