Any info on this tag that points to a Z?

They all were optional packages, not models. But they all changed the identity of the Camaro so, like the Judge package for the GTO, we kinda see them as models. I think the Z/28 fits that role well.

But my question was pertaining to retroactively applying a name to a similar car. If he's not keen on calling a '67-68 with a cowl plenum "cowl induction" (I guess with a little c and I), would a Camaro with the Z28 package be approached in the same manner?

Up until 1970 Chevrolet never used the moniker "Cowl Induction." The Air Plenum first appeared on the 1963 Z11 Impala. Borrowed from Chevy's NASCAR and designed by Smokey Yunick.

All you're trying to do is retro-fit a moniker Chevy used in 1970 to an option on a 1967/1968 Camaro. Cowl induction describes what it does but it was called "Air Plenum." Don't move the goalposts.
