Re: [Chevelle-list] Smokeys Plenum Intake
I have a picture of a 66 Dana Chevelle with the cowl Plenum air filter and also saw one on a 66 Motion Chevelle. It was available as a service part counter item. There were a bunch of different units made to fit Chevelle Camaro and Impala - Original Message - From: "Rick Schaefer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2005 3:09 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Smokeys Plenum Intake >What year chevelle had the plenum intake?

Re: RE: [Chevelle-list] Smokeys Plenum Intake
Check out Chuck Hanson Nov/Dec 2003 "Chevelle World" He has a complete write up on the installation of one of these "REPO's" on his 1969 Chevelle. I think they are being reproduced by ACES member Nelson Rudisill out of Rutherford College NC.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Smokeys Plenum Intake
Can't verify this one is "original" http://www.chevellestuff.com/66velle/engines/cowl_plenum_air_cleaner.jpg but they were indeed offered on 66, and 67 I believe and I've seen numerous ones on sale at eBay before the current popular reproduction unit was engineered for sale. If memory serves, collector Bill Macy had one of the 612 reported built 1967 L78s at the ACES Chevell~abration show in 1999 or 2000 with the plenum air setup. Can't find a RPO number for it but best guess is that it would have arrived in the trunk of the car and would be up to the dealer to install it. Don't know if it was offered on later years or not from the factory.
