Learn what? When it comes to car specs I strongly doubt there is anyone that can give you a run for the money.

So would you suggest if it's not correct to call a pre-1970 car with an air induction system "Cowl Induction," would you also say it's not correct to call that green '67 I posted a Z/28?
You want to be factual or do you want to allow "urban lore?" That green 1967 RS Camaro (with the wrong tires and NA rear spoiler) is a Z/28 even though no emblems say it is. The stripes say it is. And if equipped, it has the Air Plenum option.

If I showed you a photo of a 1969 Camaro Pace Car, I would say it had the Ducted Hood/Super Scoop. And a photo of a 1970 Chevelle SS with stripes, hood pins and the rotating hood "door" would be equipped with the Cowl Induction option - it says so right on the hood bulge, sales brochure and marketing ads.

If people want to say the 1967/1968/1969 Z/28 had Cowl Induction, are they describing the operation or are they attaching an incorrect moniker? Just like when they say a car is "radio delete." The correct moniker is: "no radio ordered."

Maybe it's best if MPrice answered it. I'm interested in his opinion.
