air cleaner I.D.

[Rat_Pack]

bbdon, this is a 70-72 Chevelle cowl induction air cleaner for a big block. It is similar to the 69 Camaro 350 ZL2 and the angle of the snorkel is what I could not tell from the picture. There are two differences between them, the snorkel is at a sharper angle than the the 350 a/c, and the hot air choke is closer to the base of the snorkel on the Chevelle big block. The hot air choke would be further towards the opening (small end)on the 69 Camaro 350 one. I have one identical to the one you have and it is was removed from a 72 454 Chevelle that a friend parted out. I checked some magazines and I found a restored 72 Chevelle with the same air cleaner. I believe this was used on all 72 cars with cowl induction and not sure when it was used in 70-71 but it is in the assembly manuals for those years. I will email you offline with a picture for your reference.................RatPack................. ....

That looks like a 1971 & 1972 Chevelle Cowl induction Air Cleaner.It has the Thermac pot on the Snorkel as was standard on the Cowl inducted air cleaners begining in 1971 and up.The reason it hits the valve Cover is because you need the Carb spacer to lift it up.It is not for a 1970 system.
