We have our engine almost complete however we are in a quandry over the air cleaner. We searched for a long time, and sent 2 back to the suppliers, for what we thought was the CORRECT air cleaner. Thge one we have is large enough to have a notch at the back in order to clear the distributor however the top lid actually touches a spark plug wire. Someone from a local Camaro club has told us we have the wrong unit. He claims the original was smaller in diameter. Our problem is that we can not find any details on the proper size for the ORIGINAL air cleaner.
Does anyone have pictures of the SS-350 with an original air cleaner mounted on it or can someone direct me to a web site or alsewhere where we can get correct information. We are trying to restore this car to as much originality as possible so please no after market air cleaners. Our only info to date is that the original was a "closed element unit with a chrome lid".
