Oh, I see--semantics.

But that's alright because I play the same game, and I'd rather frame it properly according to the experts.....thank you!

Gluing split hairs back together, even though I know the official name is Special Ducted Hood, I'm going to continue to call it a cowl hood, whether factory installed or dealer/owner installed.

The only problem with the term cowl induction hood is that it didn't exist in 68. If a 68 had any form of intake air it didn't come thru the hood at all but through an air cleaner dust cut thru the firewall into the cowl vent in front of the wind shield.

That was the point I was trying to make. Thanks.

A pencil is still a pencil, even if it is used as a tent stake. Similarly, a cowl hood (AKA Special Ducted Hood) is still a cowl hood, whether installed on a 69 Camaro from the factory, or installed on any first gen by anyone else.

I thought all plenum intake systems were over the counter. Am I incorrect?
