			Chuck, I thought a non-cowl induction LS-6 could either come with a dual snorkle or an open (907) style air cleaner especially if it came out of the Arlington Texas plant. This was documented by the 2 digit code on the build sheet from Arlington cars I have seen. I don't remember the actual codes. Comments? Bill |

			Any of these were possible on an LS-6,from almost all their assembly plants,as well as any 1970 Super Sport Chevelle/Elcamino,shown in box #55 on their build sheet. Code DG (Working Cowl Induction~part#6485235) Code SS (Open Element~part#6485239) Code CO (Dual Snorkle~part#6485257)~Lmtd.time on solid lifter only. |

			Here are the 3 variations from unrestored LS6 cars. They sure did have an open element air cleaner system.

|  Re: WTB LS6 open element base 
			
			Can you post a picture of one? I have a base that came directley from AC stamping, Center Road plant, Flint Michigan. A friend of mine worked there in the 70's. He brought this to me,right from work. He told me it was for an LS6 car, but I don't know. There are no stamped numbers in it. It's never been painted, so it has some spots of surface rust from being handled.

			This is the base I'm needing.  The tube extends about 1 1/4" and is directed more to the firewall than to the valve cover.  |

			Well crap. The picture sure looks identical to the one that I have, except there isn't a tube in mine. It was never installed!

			Tony, unfortunately without the tube it's just another base, do you want to sell the base?  I have the tube in mine, but someone modified the base so I can't use it without a lot of repair. |
