Re: 1970 LS-6 Closed Element Air Cleaner
The snorkels themselves are just like the ones used on 68/69 325 hp SS396 air cleaners. The chrome lid is also the same as the ones used on many other GM products, including some GTOs I believe. To answer the question that seems implied but not asked, yes, there have been fakes of this air cleaner made, but with the way the body of the air cleaner is "flanged" around the hole where the snorkels insert, its usually pretty easy to see where the cutting ans splicing took place... just for safety's sake, and peace of mind, it's usually better to buy stuff like this in its original condition and restore it yourself, so you know nothing is hiding under fresh black paint. I wasn't any "expert" on these either when I bought mine, but it still had all the original paint on it, and was obviously never messed with, which was enough to prove to me I was getting the real deal.
