Originality / 1968 heat pipe
« on: October 11, 2006, 10:43:35 PM »
I recently bought a heat pipe (connects the manifold stove to the air cleaner on small blocks with automatics) that the seller claimed was from a 4bbl '68 El Camino and would also work on the '68 Camaro.

Can any of you confirm this for me from the images posted below? If it is correct for the '68 Camaro 4bbl, I will store it away until I source the air cleaner (this is a low-priority project); if not, please let me know what application it does fit so I can resell it.

Thanks in advance.

Originality / air cleaner without breather
« on: September 05, 2006, 10:03:45 PM »
Several years ago, I purchased an air cleaner from an eBay seller who claimed it was from a 1968 Camaro with 4-barrel carburetor. He had posted an image showing a ThermAC, but the cleaner I received had no provisions for the damper door mounted on the snorkel. The seller subsequently told me the image he used was from another auction, but he reiterated that the cleaner I received was from a 4-barrel 68 Camaro.

What I wanted was a ThermAC for a ’68 L30 powerglide (I want to change my 2-barrel to a 4-barrel and still be 100% 50 state street legal--and that requires the ’68 4-barrel ThermAC, correct?).

At best I was going to have to pay to ship the item back to him in order to recoup any of my money, so I put the cleaner on a shelf and forgot about it.

Now I’m cleaning up my shop and want to sell this cleaner, but I need to know its specific application in order to properly list it.

I’ve taken a look at the CRG Research Report 1967-69 Camaro Emission Systems and some posts on CRG’s forums and Team Camaro’s forums, but I still need an expert opinion.

Presuming it is from a 1st generation Camaro (assuming the eBay seller was being truthful with me), it can not be for a ’69 because the snorkel faces left, not right--correct?  It also can not be for a ’68 automatic because it lacks the ThermAC.

It also has NO provision for a breather. The lack of a breather suggests it could not be for a ’68 manual since all ’68 Camaros used a breather attached to the air cleaner--correct?

Therefore, assuming it is for a first generation Camaro, it must be for a 1967 Camaro L30 (but not California since it lacks the breather--correct?) equipped with either automatic or manual transmission. Does this sound correct?

I appreciate all the help with this!

Thanks in advance.



















P.S., I can take additional photos from different angles if needed; just let me know.
