Hi Guys,
Here are some shots of the cowl plenum duct off my 68 427 Impala.




For some reason, the metal A/C base in your pictures looks different from mine. I will get it out later and compare it to your pictures.

Steve, does that plenum fit both the Holley and Q-jet carbs?

Hi Rob,
I laid the base over a Q-jet and it fit perfectly with no interference. The carb however was not on an engine. I would assume this one would work on a 385HP engine, becuase I recall Jon Krogh telling me a while back about a 68 385HP SS427 that had this air cleaner originally. After comparing mine to the one in Zedder's pictures, I see that mine is identical. I think the air cleaner bases are the same for all applications, and the duct is the difference.

Hi Bruce,
Can you post these pics of my cowl plenum air cleaner on the post under Tech/resto and cowl plenum breather identification? It is an NOS for a 66/67 Chevelle (maybe other years) that I have had for 4+ years. Maybe it will help so someone will get what they are looking for. I would post the pics but can't seem to find how on the site. I need lessons.

Later,
Dave

Sure Dave! Here you go!
