This air cleaner came with my SS454 El Camino when I bought it back in '82. I always assumed it was the original unit. The Car is a '71 SS 454 Non Cowl/ Non A/C car. Can anyone confirm it is correct or if it is not, what it is? I also have info that it might be a '71-'72 LS3 Camaro cleaner. Anyone know? (I know the sticker is repro)

I want to be sure and put this car back together with the right one.

TIA

Jon

That looks like the correct air cleaner to me for a non-cowl, non-a/c LS5. Pretty hard to come by, you're lucky to have it. The A/C air cleaner, non-cowl is the same except only one snorkel to the passenger side to make room for the compressor.

Answered my own question. :)

Jon,
Correct on both accounts above. It shows in the '71 SS396 Camaro picture of the engine compartment in the sales brochure. On the '71 El Camino, if you have a build sheet, box 53 will show a code "CL" for the dual snorkel air cleaner! I don't know about Camaro except that I recall seeing the image that I mentioned above in the Camaro sales literature.
