M21RSZ28, I also would like your opinion on........when the 1970 Nova L-78 stopped using the 239 Open Element and switched over to the Dual Snorkel 257. Did Jan 1st, 1970 and any new EPA rules have anything to do with my thinking.
Also was there a similar situation with Non Cowl Induction Chevelles switching from Open to Dual Snorkel???

Thanks for your insight...........

Chuck, my 3rd week jan/70 L78 Nova still had the original air cleaner base when I got it...so the change came after that...tw

Tom, Very interesting to hear about your O1C Nova L-78. I'm just interested to learn when the Nova changed over to the Dual Snorkel and Chevelle for that matter.
I have NO Doubt that all 70 Camaro L-78's came with the Dual snorkel. The Dual Snorkel is the only L-78 A/C shown is 70 assy manual. My O1C Norwood Camaro has the Dual Snorkel.....

Many thanks Tom for your Nova 78 knowledge.........

I've heard the dual snorkel change over came along late Feb.with the fuel return line and the exhaust resonators.Does this sound correct?
