EE,
If i'm following what your saying then this Bonny has a mix of A&B ??

She has the chrome block letter body emblems with a gold block letter grille emblem and they all appear to be as built

Cool NO JUNK

IN THE TRUNK,
It needed a minor point up.
Prepped, cleaned, coated. Just the primer section with rust block and top coat with RO primer.
Due to minor surface rust under the mat.

All parts will be placed back into their rightful home

Yep, a mix.

In my opinion, if the tail panel letters are gold-faced, the gold fender emblems were either swapped out for chrome after new delivery or on the ass'y line due to a shortage.

Question AIR BREATHER

All are on 62's

The 1st& 2nd pics I think to be correct for 4BC, Yes?

The 3rd pic is a local 2BC car, just not sure if its correct.

The 4th pic was an online search, is that a Tri-Power breather?

Thanks

That third picture is a Chevy two barrel air cleaner on a Pontiac engine. Pontiac didn't use that style in 62 for two barrel carbs. All the two barrel air cleaners I have ever seen, look almost like the four barrel air cleaners.

The air cleaner in the third picture looks correct for a 1961 Pontiac, I can't say if they used them in 1962 or not.

The last one is a correct tripower air cleaner.

Stuart & the group: I believe that '61 & '62 are the same ITO 3x2 air cleaners. Pic 3 is also a design used on '62 2 bbl air cleaners. The first two with the constant-diameter snorkel has been kind of hard to find at swap meets (not sure why)...I took a look for pics of my '62 Bonne coupe for the air cleaner but came up dry. Point is I seem to remember seeing two different snorkels: one tapered to a smaller inlet and one the large, constant-diameter tube.

Question I have is: Of the constant-diameter type, is the snorkel different LENGTHS for different years?

Default 4bc AIR BREATHER

"I seem to remember seeing two different snorkels: one tapered to a smaller inlet and one the large, constant-diameter tube"

Breather here is indeed tapered so based on what you've indicated this would be correct?
Cool, because it looks/fits so good we didn't want to try and fine another.

What do you suppose the differences would be about?

Yep looks legit. Perhaps the constant-diameter snorkel is for 425A-4bbl cars in '62 (not sure, though)...

Question Choke/Heat tubes

In the process of putting all the correct parts back.

The intake checks out, but the Carb we're not sure of.
It was on the intake in the trunk and had a re-builders tag but no numbers to go on.

Trying to figure out the correct choke/heat tube routing,
looking at it now it appears it may be the wrong carb??

Anyone have a good clear close up of the 4BC choke tubes?
Thanks.


The Breather cleaned up real nice!

Although the tubing rounting is probably the same between the two years, bear in mind that the tach on the '62 is firewall mounted.

Noise attenuation/airflow.

Induction noise radiates "out" from the carburetor. The tapered snorkel mixes up those waves and changes the tone.

If you look under the hood at a modern Chevy pickup truck you see a bunch of tubes/bottles etc that are doing the same thing (albeit a bit more effectively).

Default Straight snorkel air cleaners

I have a couple air cleaners for Carter AFBs and the straight shot snorkel. If you need one, they are reasonable.

nothing other than the pic showed more than you asked for, and I didn't want the '62 to end up with an engine-mounted coil...
