How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?

[mssl72]

Yes, there are a few differences. That's why the price on the real ones get steep.

First, take a look or feel the bottom. It should be flat/smooth. Take a look at these 2 pictures.

wrong- note the ridge in the bottom; even while it's on a car you can reach under and feel this ridge/groove



correct- note the flat bottom; no ridge/groove; take note on the part number #6421970 and the correct location of service decal, pass. side



Now for the more obvious wrong thing without having to touch it.

wrong-the way the snorkels are mounted is different; these have a mounting flange that's on the outside of the air cleaner body
See the way the snorkel meets the body on this one?



here's how it should mount and look



It shouldn't have a service decal in between the snorkels that says "Front" on it. The top was not chrome. It was painted black just like the rest of the air cleaner.

In Musclecars they called the quick 4-door Biscayne "Bisquick".

ZL1.FUN - You're better off going to Classic industries to buy the dual snorkle air cleaner they have for $189.00. It's the closest thing you'll find at a reasonable price. Original full size '66 L72 air cleaners are going for well over $1,000.00. There was an NOS one that sold recently for $4,550.00. Guys with original cars needing an air cleaner will fight for it. Save yourself some bucks.

Anders - Thanks! That's the 4 door I was thinking about.

John Brown - Thanks for the info on the L72 Bel Air wagon. I wonder where it is now. That would be a cool piece. Some people didn't realize that if you didn't spend the extra bucks and order a 4 speed behind an L72, you got a 3 speed on the tree. That would be interesting running down the strip and shifting like that!
