Default Re: Looking for HR article '69Nova Grocery-Getter

Sam, your picture is definitely diamond mesh.. I can tell by looking at it... I just looked at the July 69 Hot Rod article on the Nova Grocery Getter and the 375 horsepower Nova motor does have the diamond mesh air cleaner on it!! I would post a picture but I am having problems currently w/downloading pictures to my computer.. But I am 100% certain it is diamond mesh in the picture..

It's hard to tell when and why they stopped using the square vs. diamond mesh.. Why use one instead of the other in the fist place?? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] Must have just been a supplier thing and when they switched suppliers it went to a diamond mesh...
They probably used both through 69 into 70 but who really knows....

Rich
