Default 1970 Corvette Air Cleaner

Can anyone tell me when the base 1970 350-300 HP engine started using the dual snorkel air cleaner? I've been seeing many used corvettes with this air cleaner rather than the open element air cleaner.. Thanks ...

There is a survey in "general", it refers to air cleaners and ignition shielding for 70s. I found it and brought it to the top.

The dual snorkel was used after approx. VIN 12000.
