Connecting Rod
Connecting rod for the bottom end of the engine, linking piston to crankshaft, cataloged 1969-1970.
70-8834 is a connecting rod, the part that links the piston to the crankshaft and turns the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotating motion that drives the engine. It shows up in the crankshaft and connecting rods section of the parts book, so it lives down in the bottom end of the motor, not up top with the barrels or head.

The catalog record for this one is short. It carries the alternate part number E8834, which is just the older factory-style prefix for the same physical rod, and it turns up in catalog listings spanning 1969 to 1970. Beyond that we don't have more detail on this one, so if you're matching this against a specific engine, bring us the numbers off your crankcase or your old rod and we'll confirm before you order.
Connecting rods aren't something to guess on. If you're rebuilding a bottom end, check the rod against your crank and piston set before assuming it's a straight swap.
