71MonteCarloMD Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I have been searching for this last part to bring my 350 4bbl engine back to original with correct air cleaner. Yes, I have contacted Leo as he's still trying to locate it in his storage as local auto part stores does not catry it. I am checking to see if anyone know where I can get a hold of one as it does not have be NOS? Also What is the part number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71MonteCarloMD Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Found this item in eBay for Corvette, it seems to be same item for our Montes?181819604083 Â Is the metal or rubber tube original to 71? Â I also noticed another part for the tube near air cleaner, is it short rubber hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Â My original 71 350 4BBL has a bent metal tube attached at the air cleaner with a rubber hose then a clip to hold the crankcase filter inside the air cleaner. I added the left snorkel back in 72 since I didn't have A/C, there was lot's of room. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I just went out and took a few pictures. The last one shows the square hole, the crankcase filter goes into. (This last picture was taken of my spare air cleaner that's why it's bare steel.) Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71MonteCarloMD Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks Bruce for the pictures! Â Will this fit our Montes?http://m.ebay.com/itm/181819604083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71MonteCarloMD Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I received the part and it's a perfect fit to the valve cover! Â I am wondering what kind of black paint for this elbow tube and the air cleaner? Â Are they same color? Â Also the rubber "hose" from elbow tube to the breather, is there a specific part number for this? Â Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I used some left over heater hose, it worked. What color is the tube now? If I recall correctly, mine was a strange almost transparent black. It may have been some sort of plating, or "DIP" priming was popular then. I was fortunate to be at DuPont back then and sprayed what was called "Black Dip" primer on many of my under hood parts, It's no longer available. If over reduced, it will mostly run off and the film build is too thin or almost see-through. As to my air cleaner assembly, I went with super high gloss black IMRON. It's wrong, but so is the second air inlet I added. The black dip primer baked at 400 F so I couldn't use it on the base or the rubber in the vacuum diaphragms for the inlet doors would have melted. (They leak now anyway and are disconnected) Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71MonteCarloMD Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Here's pictures of the elbow tube as I'm not sure if it's original as I want to paint it to match original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 IMO, if you want it to be as delivered from the factory, don't paint it, just leave it as it is. It reminds me of what mine looked like prior to me painting it low gloss black. It's not rusty so it must have a coating on it. BTW, That valve cover looks great!

71MonteCarloMD Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks Bruce as I will leave it as it is. BtW the valve covers were from Cory that I cleaned, sanded down to metal and painted. Planned to put them in during winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71MonteCarloMD Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Sam, so you are suggesting I clear coat on what I have now to keep it original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
