All of my 455 cars have had this on the build sheet also. The assembly itself is just the dual snorkel. There may have been a unique filter element, but I seriously doubt it (too much complexity on the assembly line- the plant would have wanted a single filter element for a given air cleaner).

My Dad made a habit of ordering this option on his 60's & early 70's Pontiacs. He believed it was of use considering the dirt & gravel roads he occasionally drove on. Strange though I can't remember him buying new AC HD airfilters. Will have to ask him...
My experience dragging in parts, only the filter itself was HD... believe it had a black foam band around the outside, similiar to GM airfilters on the '78- mid 80's Olds 350 diesel engines.

That is correct. The HD air cleaner was the filter which has a foam surrounding the paper element. One was on ebay NOS the other day and it didn't get any bid at $9.99 - probably because the foam surround was rotted. I was going to buy it and try to restore the foam but I just don't have the time.

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.
