Default Cold air kit for a 70 Vette?

I really think my car could bennefit from some cold air under the hood or to the carb. Anyone ever seen a decent cold air kit for these cars?

Yes on the L-88 and 73-75 Vettes. Otherwise you are on you own.

You are more correct than you know about cold air induction being beneficial.

As far as methods, cowl induction setups such as those mentioned by Solid LT1 would seem to be more "correct" for C3's from 68-75. After that, the factory began ducting cold air to the breather from the nose just above the radiator. If you don't want to change hoods, you might look into adapting one of those systems, if there's room. Myself, I like the L88 setup.
