Wow...that one made all 3 of our local establishments ? Smog setup isn't terribly expensive but it reall caps off the engine compartment...even though it was probably the first thing torn off the car.

Although the white smog fans are now non-existent thanks to a certain bargain hunter

I got so carried away writing about the "missing" smog I forgot to mention that one year only RARE air cleaner.....Not very often you even see one of those let alone a nice color pic in MCR....From what I've learned the 70 L-78 Camaros, Non-Cowl Induction 70 Chevelles and 70 L-78 Nova's.....however Chuck Hansen suggested that the Dual Snorkel was installed after Jan 1, 1970 due to some new EPA noise laws whereas the open element previously used alledgedly caused the engine to be too loud....can anybody concure with this thinking......Anyway most of the 70 Camaro L-78's Ive seen are missing this RARE item and the owner has some "excuse" story why his car has the open element......Later, Chuck

The Dual was a later production air cleaner.Open element was very noisy under WOT.So they muffled it.
One of those Dual Snorkels was for sale at the Witchita swapmeet last February.The seller,selling oil cans, wanted $100.00,but ended up taking $50.00.A very good day indeed!
