i know this is the right place to ask .... been off for awhile started a new business and was very busy ( good thing )
lost password just got a new one this morning : )

anyway ...... here is what i need to know

is anyone reproducing the jack cover .. for along time nobody was and nice ones were fetching 100 buxs .... are they still bringing this amount or more ?with tab intact?
also what numbers would be on a 396 intake manifold if it was from 70 71 or 72 ..they didnt do a 396 in 73 did they ? also what would an item like that be worth?
and last .... dual snorkle air cleaner ..... this one has long tubes iinstead of short ,stubby ones ... guy claims from a 70 thru 73 but i have never seen one with long tubes.

any help appreciated

still reproed by the guy that said initially that they were NOS ... the price came way down

no big blocks after 72 for the Camaro

there were two versions of the dual snorkel air cleaner, the "normal" one as used on the 70-72 Z28 (and the L72 engines on the big car - Impala, Biscayne, etc) that was for the Holley carb and the shorter snouts as used on the 74 Z28 and the early 70's Corvettes that was for the Q-jet carb:

Plus there was the one for the LS6 Chevelle and L78 Camaro, it has been discussed on this board before and pictures were posted:

here is the pic from that thread:

that air cleaner is worth over a grand if it is nice ... and ORIGINAL GM and not a made up version
