I think the '69 and '70 are slightly different. One of them has a larger angle between the snorkles to accomodate the cruise control unit. Maybe OPH or someone can chime in ...

The inlet is located under the air pan? Where can I get an inlet? Mine has melted. Does enough vacuum accumulate in there to open and close the flaps on the snorkels? Does anyone know how long the hoses should be? thanx

The switch is in the bottom of the air cleaner pan. Perf Years sells them and I'll bet they are available at a parts store near you. Do they work? I don't know if mine do or not and really don't care too much. My car always starts and runs smoothly when cold as it is, so I'm not one to mess with a good thing
 The hoses couldn't be over a foot long each.

I am restoring one for my '69 Custom S right now. It's not original to the car and it has this part number on the "Keep your car all GM" sticker on the side" RA 6486135. Can anyone steer me to an air cleaner part number reference list? I'm curious as to what model car this air cleaner came off of. It has a production date of 8/15/69.
Thanks, Mike |

The GTO Restoration guide lists the part #'s for GTO air cleaners. I can't tell you if those #'s match the Custom S #'s or not. If the number you list is actually on the "Keep Your Car All GM" sticker, I'd bet is the stickers parts #. I think the air cleaners # is on the bottom of the air cleaner assembly. The production date says it was for a 70 model.

Thank you David.
As is so common, the snorkels on my air cleaner have numerous small dents in them. I noticed that the single snorkel air cleaner on a '72 Lemans [on ebay] pictured here:  looks to use the identicle snorkel as used on my dual snorkel unit. They maybe a good source for "donor" snorkels. |

Where are the dents? Mine also had some dents in them and I was able to push all but one out using long Phillips screwdrivers. Similar to the way these dent removal guys do it to a car. The ends of my snorkles were fairly ratty also and I restored them by rounding them out again using the radius of my trusty Phillips screwdriver, a small hammer and a pair of smooth jawed pliers.

One snorkel has numerous creases in it. I got most of them out with a small hammer and dolly. Maybe I'll try a thin coat of plastic filler and careful sanding to get it perfect. I too straightened out the radius of the ends of the snorkels. Have you ever noticed that when you see an air cleaner like this on ebay, the seller almost never takes a close up picture of the snorkels? If I had a perfect one, I'd really show how nice it is with good close pictures. |

I've looked at many. Never a good shot of them. Good point. The ends of these things are incredibly delicate. I spent some considerable time straightening mine and then promptly dropped it accidently and got to start over again.

Ive got another qustion please. I want to connect the heat riser tube to my dual snorkel air cleaner. I'm looking for a heat riser tin sheild that goes over the left exhaust manifold to connect the heat riser tube to. In the catalogs I see that they only list one for the Ram Air III and all round port head exhaust manifolds. Does anyone make a reproduction heat riser sheild for standard exhaust manifolds?
Any idea why these stamped sheilds are close to $100? |

Percy's Pontiac usually has standard shrouds. There is one on Ebay right now that goes off in 21 hours.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
