Cowl plenum breather

[firez]

Has anyone seen the new cowl plenum breathers from NKR products. bought a 68 Z with the cutout for a cowl plenum breather but the original plenum is long gone. Any help would be great

Did you get the blue car? I remember somebody sells one out of the S.F. bay area or northern California. Maybe by the name of T/A performance or a name close to that. I think he advertises in Hemmings.

Is it fiberglass??steel?? I would not fill the hole. Just make a cowl plenum "delete" plate until you have the funds to buy an air cleaner. That setup is just too coollll!!!

It is a blue car but a Canadian car . The plenum breathers are suppose to be steel and not fibreglass like Taperfesto

I have used a few of the TA performance air cleaners and other than touching it they look like metal.

Google NKR Products and you can see the plenums I am speaking of. Anyone know of them/

Paul, Did you get the Canadian documentation for the car yet? If so did it show the cowl plenum being ordered with the car? Go for broke, get a crossram and a factory cowl plenum air cleaner set up. Am I reading this right that the whole air cleaner is made out of plastic? I had a 1967 Z/28 and I remember that the duct that attaches to the firewall was plastic with a rubber tube that fed into a steel air cleaner. This was over 20 years ago, was I looking at a reproduction?

From what I have heard the cowl plenums from NKR are very close... the lid is the only minor difference... I have read that unless you have the lids side by side you can't tell them apart.

This is a quote from the NKR website...
"Nelson,
Your work on the 68 Z/28 cowl plenum is excellent."

If Jerry gives his blessings (and I wasn't prepared to spend the $$$ to buy a NOS one) then it would be good enough for me.

Yes I see they are steel and if Jerry gives his thumbs up it must be a great piece. As far as the paperwork I have not sent to GM Canada as of yet. I do not know if the car wsa ordered with the breather in the trunk or bought from a GM parts shop later. I will keep you posted Mark. Hows the new toy?

Just sitting in the garage. I ran into some paperwork issues.
