This was offered from what I understand on non cowl induction LS5 Chevelles and a very expensive rare piece. LS6 non cowl also had a dual using the 402 style Air cleaner snorkeIs. (Plan on building one of those) I used 2 454 standard Air cleaners and made this one also deleted the round things on the spouts.. I made sure to butcher the later Air cleaners for HEI not the early Monte correct ones. Turned out nice. I think the 1980s 305 Air cleaners have the same spout too.

What's missing? Here is a press release photo of the NEW 1970 Monte Carlo from GM and ran in the Evening paper on Aug.25, 1969. Whats missing? The hood spear! Did GM finalize their decision late in the game to add the spear to the assembly line? Or did they think no watchful eyes would scour these photos some 50 years later and see they perhaps used an older pre-production photo? I'm hoping someone here can share their knowledge or has other 1970 press photos showing the hood (spear, or no spear?) I also see the lack of chrome trim under the headlights; were they installed on all 70 Montes, or simply an option? "SPEAR-MONT" wasn't that a flavor of chewing gum?☝️🙄 Jeff 1970 Monte SS454

Mine don't have one, never has since I bought it.

Found another pic...no spear.

I like it! I added one to my 71 350 NO A/C stock engine back in 1972.

That is a pre-production 1970 Monte Carlo.

This was a supervisors car, and it had very little law enforcement equipment on it. There are no extra toggle switches or buttons on the dashboard and everything works as it should, which is sometimes in issue with these cars when they’re decommissioned. I was so happy with how clean this car was, I actually had a buddy who owns a body shop fix the four holes in the roof where the light bar was mounted as well as the one hole in the decklid where the antenna was. And since it was a supervisors car it originally came with the SAP (Street Appearance Package): Chrome grill, chrome trim on the tail light housings and across the back panel, which was also painted white. It looked a little too “grandpa” for my tastes, so I treated it to the honeycomb grill, new tail light housings and black rear panel.
