Wanted: A.I.R. Tube inline 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for the metal air tupe that runs from the check valve to the exhaust manifold.

Anybody have one or know where I could find one?

Those are available at the dealer or at local parts stores. I just got some for both sides of mine (mine's a 305 V8), they had been cut off and crimped closed, had to replace them and the rest of the A.I.R. system for inspection here. I first called a dealer that had them for about $30 each. Also found them at Autozone, and O'Reilly's as well for about $25 each. Nobody had both sides in stock, ended up ordering from Autozone, took about a week. Don't remember who the manufacturer was, but mine are painted black.

I ordered mine from JC whitney for $35 + $9.95 shipping. Dealer wants $150. GM PartsDirect wants $95 + shipping.

I sure hope JC Whitney has the correct part. I can't understand how a little tube could be so expensive.
