Cowl Induction Air Cleaner.

I picked up a nice 1975 Corvette Air Cleaner to use on my '78 El Camino. I have the Goodmark Steel Hood and the air cleaner from the Vette poped right down in place and then I put the top band on with a new rubber seal and it fit like it was made for the Elky!

This is a dual snorkle air cleaner with the same size base as the OEM base. The only thing I did do was to move the rear AC hose just a little to clear the front of the left snorkle.

I can take a picture if anyone would like one. JIM

This looks like a very good setup, and exactly what I've been looking to do. Thanks for the info!

I just picked up my second Air Cleaner from a '75 Vette for my Malibu on E-bay. This one was about the same price as the first.It was $88.50 delivered already painted black (this time) and in great shape!

I'll let you guys bid on the next one. Jim
