Cowl Air Cleaner

[iluv69s]

I know the early flat bottom 69 Camaro units are worth $$$$$$$ as I still need one for my car....anyone got one reasonable to go to a worthy cause???

Are you talking Cowl Plenum or Cowl Induction?
Early 69 Camaros equipped with Cowl Ind. had a flat bottom.As production increased,that bottom now received a channeled valley,for both ZL-2 equipped Camaros & 70-72 Chevelles.
There are a few ways to determine a repop.
The most obvious being to look at the seam running alongside the snorkle.

Good info. Thanks for the heads up. What does the original seam look like in comparision to a repro? A friend is pulling one out for me to sell. I want to represent and price it right.


Thanks,

On the originals,in the center of the seam it will jog downwards and form a square notch in the center,then continue back on line to the opposite end.
The later repops have one continous unbroken seam.

isn't the seal ring different between the chevelle and the camaro?

[farone]

The seal rings are different.....

[John Brown]

Camaro = round? Chevelle = Cut off?

[blackls6]

I was told a while back that the seal ring with the cut out was for air condition cars. What is the correct one for my LS-6 Chevelle?
