Applications for the 6423907 low-restriction air cleaner are 1968 302 & 396; all 1969 396 [exc ZL2] and Z/28s produced through the end of October 1968. At that time the AIM and P & A manual shows the super-to std Z/28 air cleaner as 6423272. The '69 Body Broadcast Copy lists the production air cleaner in box # 86 as a 2-digit code. I have BBCs from Z/28s built Nov '68 and May '69 at Norwood and March '69 at Van Nuys; all show the air cleaner as '07'. '68s are '07' also.

It is possible the change to 6423272 never took place in production.
Learning more and more about less and less...

That's interesting. My 68 z28 (02E)has a bottom like dannystarr's car & & my 69 396(08E 69) has an air cleaner that the fresh air tube is 90 degrees off the side of the carb. I know it's correct but don't know about the z28. Thanks, Joe
