Gluing split hairs back together, even though I know the official name is Special Ducted Hood, I'm going to continue to call it a cowl hood, whether factory installed or dealer/owner installed.

The only problem with the term cowl induction hood is that it didn't exist in 68. If a 68 had any form of intake air it didn't come thru the hood at all but through an air cleaner dust cut thru the firewall into the cowl vent in front of the wind shield.

A pencil is still a pencil, even if it is used as a tent stake. Similarly, a cowl hood (AKA Special Ducted Hood) is still a cowl hood, whether installed on a 69 Camaro from the factory, or installed on any first gen by anyone else.
I thought all plenum intake systems were over the counter. Am I incorrect? Last edited by Unreal; 02-19-2021 at 01:37 AM. |

Early '68 Z28s (and '67 Zs) up through mid-January '68 were available with the cowl plenum air cleaner and headers as options which showed up on the window sticker and as such could be financed with the cost of the car itself. Those options were cancelled abruptly and showed up in the factory '68 Z28 brochure only as service parts. The brochure did not come out until after the cancellation of those options.

Marketing called it a "Super Scoop" while Chevrolet called it "Special Ducted Hood."
It was never officially called "Cowl Induction." Another made up moniker like . . . Radio Delete. |

Not so. There is a 68 SS on this site with documented 15” tire option. So no way to tell 68 Z/28 without verified paper work or engine stamp.
