WTB: AIR CLEANER FOR 1970 L78 CAMARO

[JHS]

Missed out on 2 assemblies earlier in the year but still need the correct air cleaner assembly if anyone knows where one is.

[70-SS/RS-L78]

Hey Joe,
Did you try Joe Grey?
I know a while back he had more then one and he was looking to sell at least one of them.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, I know the breather tube is different and is a little more towards the front of the engine from the one on my Z/28, so I am guessing that is for a BB, not really sure.

I asked the seller some questions to authenticate his auction. Said the PCV dimple was there but the tips were Round vs. Oval. My personal opinion is the air cleaner is homemade, possibly a 1970 LT1 with long snorkels added or Cowl Induction base with an added snorkel. The snorkels look to narrow at the base and the snorkels look too far apart at the base. Example: If the air cleaner in question was laid flat with one snorkel at 12 oclock, the other looks to be at 20 after where as a true 70 LS6/L78 would be at 15 after almost a true 90 degree angle. His looks like a 110-120 degree angle. Ebay contacted me to see if he was trying to sell it to me off ebay. He did not try to sell it to me as I would not be interested in it anyways. I was hoping my questions would be published on the auction page to throw up a red flag but they were not. With prices for these Rare air cleaners hitting the stratosphere there are some dishonest folks trying to pass immitations off as real ones to unsuspecting buyers. My advice DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!! For some reason the auction was pulled.

It is now relisted but seller still claims to be original part. I compared the auction pictures to mine (see attachment) and I see what you mean about the 15 vs 20 after. Someone may be upset after this purchase.

Its too bad these same bidders cannot see this forum. The guy selling this air cleaner has a great feedback record and maybe he don't realize what he is selling is bogus. he claimed in this latest auction that a hacker disrupted his last auction and erased all his bids. Ebay should have not allowed him to relist this item. I told Ebay the item was very questionable. Sad!!!
