Cowl Plenum Information
I've been curious about the differences in cowl plenum air cleaners and how they may change between body platforms.
For instance, on Doug's 67 Yenko, is there a difference from a small block to a big block? A bodies to fullsize. Etc.... I've been looking around on the web, and cannot say I found a good source of info. Sorry if this is kind of a remedial question. I'd just like to know more. In advance, thanks! Tim |

A cowl plenum air cleaner for a small block will have four "windows" in the area that would lead toward the duct. A big block cowl plenum air cleaner will have five of these "windows", and the metal extension with the rubber seal on it will be a little wider and longer. Also, the big block version has a small notched area on the driver's side that provided clearance for a breather cap on the LH valve cover. A notch at the front of the cowl plenum air cleaner is for clearance for the '68 smog pump. The '67 air cleaner does not have a notch up front because the smog pump and hoses have enough room without it.

I know i am still searching for a "Boot" that connects the 2 pieces...Cant even find a reproduction part. If we could determine a good material out there where one could be made would even be helpful.
This is for a 1968 Z28 ANYTHING out there? RA |

My friend is making the cowl plenum boots. They are right on with the originals. He is even using the correct burlap material to connect the seam. Please send me a message for his contact information.
