Re: air cleaner I.D.
If it is for a big block I believe 1966 and 1967 Chevelle is the only years that used it.

Re: air cleaner I.D.
I saw one on e bay about 4 months ago and they said it was for a 66 67 chevelle SS cowl plenum.That was the first I had ever heard of anything like it.

Re: air cleaner I.D.
Does the indentation line up with the hole in the valve cover for the PCV valve? Looks like there is no hole on the pass side base bottom for the PCV intake pipe and screen then they would have to use a breather on the driver side valve cover. There was a breather can that used a vent tube and no PCV valve so that indentation may be there for clearance. I believe Chevy had a cowl intake system available starting in 1963 to make it legal for NASCAR. They ran both Chevelles and Passenger cars in NASCAR in the mid 60s so the cowl system was probably designed to fit both. I have an original picture of an 66 Motion Chevelle with the factory service cowl system but couldn't find it.

Re: air cleaner I.D.
This was ordered by a parts man at a Chevy dealership for his own 68 Z28. He got this along with the correct duct for the Z but it didn't fit. The duct is still in the box but he threw away the box this came in.

Re: air cleaner I.D.

Based on what I can see in your picures,it looks like a 1965 Impala. That dent shows up on the 1970 Dual snorkel also,and is intended for the PCV.But the duals dent does not come that close to PCV to hinder it. I think it was provisional? There is a company called NKR Products c/o Nelson Rudsill,PO box 495,Rutherford College, N.C. 28671.Phone#828-874-2335. They are reproducing these Cowl Plenum air cleaners for the early Chevrolet Cars. In the April 2000 issue of the now defunct NCOA Chevelle Report,Mark Meekins wrote a GREAT 7 page 28 picture article about these.He shows all the details and differences between the Remanufactured,and the NOS ones. It is great reading with all your questions answered. Incidentally,I have seen these remanufactured ones sell on Ebay recently,but being advertised as NOS.. [Edited by mr70 (03-18-2002 at 02:17 PM).]
