Default Re: Interesting colors on a 1972 Nova SS

No...the small block SS cars all had a closed element air cleaner..even the older 68-70 cars. The only Novas that ever had the open element were the 68-70 big block cars..even the Deuce had the large dual snorkel closed unit.

Many folks take artistic license during the resto process and install the open air cleaner..probably because they are easier to find than the originals with all the heat tube sheet metal and tubing.

Good question...wilma [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
