DESCRIPTION
OEM 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle/Nova/El Camino/Malibu SS 396 325HP (L35) 4 Speed Air Cleaner. This assembly has been refinished in the correct semi-gloss black finish to present a period correct image. The single snorkel with round end is in good condition and correct for the one year 4 speed cars. The base is excellent and features a GM licensed reproduction Air Cleaner Service Decal (CT=1969). Note that the snorkel is canted downward and is angled towards the corner of the passenger side fender (69 specific). There is a minor impression on the bottom of the snorkel - out of sight once installed, but mentioned for clarity. As a nice finishing touch, an original date stamp has been added for for further authenticity.
An original low profile dimpled lid enhances the classic musclecar appearance replete with seal to ensure correct sealing. To complete the package, a new heavy duty air filter, new breather filter, and period correct wing nut are included. There are minor anamolies on the lid - mostly not visible once the decals are installed. To add further distinction, GM licensed 396 Cross Flags and Turbo-Jet 325HP decals are included (loosely installed - permanent installation to be made by the buyer as required) and complement the overall assembly.
This assembly presents well and will enhance your restoration. Best of all, it is a rare and genuine GM part!

APPLICATIONS
This assembly is correct for the following:
1969 Chevrolet
396/325HP Chevelle SS/Camaro SS/Nova SS /El Camino 4 Speed
Note: automatic equipped cars featured the ThermAC valve on the top of the snorkel, along with the plastic pre-heater duct and hose connected to the exhaust manifold. 4 speed air cleaners were not required to feature this emissions requirement. This assembly differs from the 68 version: the snorkel was oriented perpendicular to the passenger side fender and featured the breather filter exit on the driver's side.
FITMENT
The assembly will fit factory 4 barrel Quadrajet carburetors with a 5 1/8" diameter flange, as well as Holley (non double-pumper), Carter, and Edelbrock variations without electric choke (some adjustment to the carburetor alignment tangs may be required). If you have modified your carburetor, intake manifold, or valve covers, please inquire first prior to bidding to ensure fitment is correct. Return requests for non-fitment will not be honored.
It will not correctly fit the 68 models due to the orientation of the snorkel and valve cover breather filter outlet location.
