69 correct air cleaner setup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tommys72 · 01-29-2016, 05:23 PM

Anyone have a pic I could use for a reference.

Hutch · 01-29-2016, 05:44 PM

Which engine?

tommys72 · 01-29-2016, 10:05 PM

Forgot to mention it was a 350. I was leaving school and forgot to say that

**michael bustamante** · 01-29-2016, 11:31 PM

In 68 our trucks didn't come with a 350. I have a 283 two barrell air cleaner if you like a pic.

I was in a super big hurry in traffic, trying not to post and drive. It's a 69, not a 68.

Can a mod change the title for me please?

Don't look at anything but the air cleaner. This is the day I got it from a PO who didn't know what they were doing. It is a 68 with a 1974 350 in it.

Visible problems in this pic:

Terrible and unsafe household wiring job.
Positive colored cable grounded to block.
Rubber fuel line

If I recall correctly, in 1969 the emissions present depended upon the GVWR (1/2 ton vs. 3/4 ton). If so, the air cleaner may have varied based on emissions. Here's a picture of the original on my 69 C20 made at Fremont and sold to me new in California. The only emissions present are a PCV and breather routed to the collar the air cleaner is mounted on.

Done

tommys72 · 01-30-2016, 09:25 AM

Thank you first owner!

Anymore out there

GTSideSwipe · 01-31-2016, 08:22 PM

I have a 69 Custom/20 from Fremont as well with the same breather.

Yours looks like mine except the snorkel appears shorter with a larger, more oval "mouth". I have always thought mine was too restrictive with the opening being no bigger than the exhaust. Maybe they wised up during the year. Possibly a supplier difference or camera angle also.

tommys72 · 01-31-2016, 10:32 PM

Thank you for the title change, and thanks guys for the pictures. Just need to find one now

So what exactly do you have? Is it a C10, C20, Chevy, or G.M.C?

tommys72 · 01-31-2016, 10:38 PM

69 C10, decent old truck. Pretty original

tommys72 · 01-31-2016, 10:44 PM

Few pics

GTSideSwipe · 01-31-2016, 10:54 PM

Could you post the vin? I can't exactly read it. If it came from Fremont then I will post a picture of the one u need.

GTSideSwipe · 01-31-2016, 11:08 PM

It looks like your engine is completely stock except for the fact that the nose of your breather is missing. Just would need to find one.

tommys72 · 02-01-2016, 12:11 AM

Its from Janesville. Does the nose just slip on? I assumed someone had cut it off

No. The entire snorkel is welded onto the air cleaner base.

GTSideSwipe · 02-01-2016, 12:52 AM

If you have identical exhaust manifolds that don't show a portion where a hose can connect to then you most likely have the same one as ours. I also am looking really close at the image of the engine. It appears that yours was cut short by the previous owner.

Hutch · 02-01-2016, 01:25 AM

Not sure but may originally may have had the Heat Stove that surround's the driver side Manifold installed

**Blue/72** · 02-01-2016, 01:31 AM

My 350 I put back to almost all original. The intake, carb, fuel line and a few other little things have been changed

tommys72 · 02-01-2016, 10:29 AM

My 72 has the heat stove and pipe. The 69 does not. So I'm guessing someone cut it for better airflow. Thanks for all the help guys. Just gonna have to hunt for a "new" 69 air cleaner

BLT gmc · 02-01-2016, 12:06 PM

I have a 69 GMC K10 from Fremont and it has the same air cleaner as FirstOwner69's picture. No heat riser no dashpot.

I can only assume that this one is the same also. No heat stove or tube is probably factory correct on this truck also.
