All cars had buildsheets, just so happens not many from Norwood left with the cars. They are out there though.

Dual snorkel air cleaners were used on the some later L78 Novas. The latest car I have that I can document the open element on is feb/70. I have a 1st week of july car but it did not come with an air cleaner. The buy it now price of $2600 is more than I paid for my first L78 car in 1974. Wow! How things have changed!!

Well, the seller wrote to me today and said while he was packing it up he noticed one snorkel was attached differently. I still bought it, curious to see what its like when it gets here. Maybe there will be a HOMEMADE stamp after all. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Build sheets are “Extremely Rare” in Norwood built Camaro’s but a few cars
slipped through with them, from what I understand they were very strict
about leaving them in the cars at Norwood….

Rare original 1970 Chevelle unit for an LS6 or L78, twin snorkel type. Has a little pitting in the inside of the housing at the bottom. All together a really nice piece, not brand new, but very showable for most cars. The chrome is excellent on the lid. You won't find too many chances at an item this rare. Also fits a 1970 Camaro with the L78 Thanks for looking and bidding!

Jason with a description like that they had to notice it was put together differently on one side .....

Jason, did you buy the one pictured in your previous post? I see the ebay item is barely past 1000 with less than 3 days remaining. Is there some doubt to this part being authentic?

OOps...I thought he was talking about the one on E-Bay https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

It says "no rust"??? Wonder what the brown stuff is on the inside around the element? Sure looks like "Rust" to me?

Hope it doesn't turn out to be true or if that is some that it is just light surface rust.

By just looking at that picture you posted,to me it looks like the snorkles are out of sink & one was added.
