My 70 is serial number 10498 produced in May of 70.What is the correct air filter assembly for the car. Open assembly or the dual snorkel.

Re: ? on correct air cleaner (Makonut)

My source says "the majority of the 1970 vettes use open element, 70's assembled after mid June 1970 except LT1s use the 1971-1972 closed element." You therefore should have the open one.

Hope it helps :seeya

PS: this type question usually gets answered faster in the restoration forum.

NCRS reports that "after about serial number 12,000" a closed element was used except on the LT1 and LS6. So yours should be open.

Mine has an open element. I don`t know if it is original or not but it does have the AC Delco stamp under the lid so I assume it is original.
