1971 BB Dual Snorkel & Valve Cover Questions - 12/23/15 11:38 PM
It is my understanding that the 1971 dual snorkel air cleaner was unique because the breather tube was attached to the driver side snorkel, not attached to the body of the air cleaner on the passenger side.
Assuming that is correct, was the breather also moved to the driver's side, or did the breather remain on the passenger side, and the breather hose run behind the carb to the air cleaner?
Most of the photos I've found online seem to show this configuration, and show the oil filler at the front on the driver's side, the breather at the rear on the driver's side, and the PCV on the rear of the driver's side. Is this correct?
And finally, should the air cleaner be gloss black or wrinkle black in this application? I'm cloning a '71 Satellite 383 police car and would like to get this right.
Thanks for your help.
