Default Vent Surge for 69 Chevelle L78

Does this look anything like the original, this is a repop from Ground Up?

Looks pretty decent. Other than being nice and white looks like a original

Thanks guys, it's actually not that white, I edited the pic to brighten it up. Any ideas on where I can get a restrictor for on the top?

I used a axle tube vent still available from GM. Fits right into the top of the surge vent. Allows venting and keeps dirt out.

Actually, The restrictor for the top is nothing more than a piece of foam...similar to lawn mower filter material. A friend found a NOS one years ago...thats all it was foam...about 3/8" x 1/2". I put a piece in mine, and have had NO problems in 2 years...no leak, no fumes, no fuel tank collapse...Just my experience

It is great to see this part reproduced. The subject of "what to do with the vent hoses?" comes up on Team Chevelle probably at least every month
