Which air cleaner is correct ?
I need to know which is the correct air cleaner for a
1970 350 / 350hp (L46) motor: is it the dual snorkel type or is it the round one with the chrome lid?
I think the LT-1 had the round one, but am not sure about the L46 or L48.
Thanks

Depends on the engine, but the L46 350/350 (L48 was the base engine 350/300) had the open element air cleaner with a chrome top very similar to the LT-1. The bases were different between the L46 and LT-1 due to the use of the Q-Jet vs. Holley.

I have a 350/300 and mine is an open air cleaner. When I bought my car the dealer said that it should have been a duel snorkel. I am not so sure. It is a late 70. If someone changed it they got all original parts. The air cleaner lid has the original screen printing on it. Also, just the way it looks it you know it is as old as the car. I am not sure if I have ever seen a duel snorkel on a 70.
