Crossram, was there ever a single carb adapter plate?

[WaltZ]

Just curious,
is there or was there ever a single carb adapter for the winters crossram?

[bcmiller]

Not that I know of. There is for the Edelbrock version.

Yes, they were talking about one on the Yenko.net site a week or so ago. On a 69 Z owned by Warren Malkin ( may have is last name spelled wrong).

I found NO mention of it in the book Camaro Untold Secrets

Warren's car has the fiberglass cross-ram hood with single-carb adapter plate and special air cleaner. Production carb and manifold.

Those have to be ultra rare parts.

Was nice to see it in 2019

From my archives, a picture of Pete Estes 68Z Vert sporting the Crossram hood with a single carburetor but the oval crossram air cleaner filter. Not trying to outdo Warrens car, just for comparison.

I am lucky enough to now own Warren's car. Up till Warren's car I had never seen a snorkleless cowl induction air cleaner or the adapter plate that bolts to the crossram hood. Warren was a special guy.

So let me see if I have this right.

The intake manifold and carb are regular production items for a Z28. It's not a cross ram intake with a single 4 barrel adapter. Correct?

[Charley]

Correct.

I'm intrigued about Warrens car. Did he work for GM? When someone says "they never made one" or "it never got out of the proving grounds", I stay silent and smirk.

[Charley]

No. He bought the Z from the orig. owner that was the director of SCCA back then. Warren lived and breathed rare Camaro stuff and  was second to none with his knowledge.

[David K]

So what is the origin of the hood story? Instead of tossing 500 questions at you, I'll wait for your reply.
