[SCG] FW: [FC] Air cleaner "snorkels" or lack thereof...

[Kent Sullivan]

Maybe someone on the Stock Corvair Group list has some info...

Please Reply All to include Andrew and Geoffrey, who also has run across a
similar situation.

Thanks,

P.S. Andrew, I made a smaller link for your photo so that line wrap doesn't
kill it.

I have a early 61 Rampside (3819 serial number, Engine date 1012.) On the
air cleaner crossover tube there is no snorkel or typical D shaped baffle. 
I've never seen one like this before.  It looks like a car crossover but
without the snorkel.  The inside of the hole is just like a car with the
little air splitter.  I can't find any places where spot welds would have
been broken loose to remove it.  

You can see a picture here:

Q:  Is this a very early production piece or a modified car piece?

Q: If so, when were those phased out for the later style with the D
shaped baffle?

Thanks!

p.s. The black truck in this photo album is the parts vehicle.  The blue one
is the keeper.
