Default 77" L82 OEM Air filter

Hi there folks, can anybody tell me what kind of original factory Air cleaner set up I should have on a 77" L82 with 4spd manual and AC. Should it be a single snorkel or twin snorkel. As I want to throw the chrome aftermarket piece and restore to original. Thanks, Griffo

I believe that the dual snorkel air cleaner debuted on the L-82 only in 1978. The big advantage of the 78 L-82 advantage was the cold air feed from the nose, not just the dual snorkels....
