6485891 Air Cleaner Applications
« on: March 25, 2015, 02:43:38 PM »
I have a cowl induction air cleaner assy that I purchased in the 70's part number 6485891. My part book is missing the page that lists it's applications. Would someone with a complete part book look it up please? I believe it is 69 Camaro and some years of Chevelle models.

6485891 is the generic service replacement air cleaner for '69 Camaro & '70-'71 Chevelle with ducted hood. For some time it was serviced with a chrome lid that was not used in production. Also requires a rubber seal and the metal flange it attaches to. Some applications used an extension to elevate the assembly to meet the hood.

For Camaro it is only correct for 302 and BB applications. It is not identical to the 6485235 unit used in production; that one has a flat bottom and a 90º vent tube. At some point the production unit was revised with a raised bead in the base and a different vent tube; probably September '69.
Learning more and more about less and less...
