Up until 1970 Chevrolet never used the moniker "Cowl Induction." The Air Plenum first appeared on the 1963 Z11 Impala. Borrowed from Chevy's NASCAR and designed by Smokey Yunick.

All you're trying to do is retro-fit a moniker Chevy used in 1970 to an option on a 1967/1968 Camaro. Cowl induction describes what it does but it was called "Air Plenum." Don't move the goalposts.
