Re: Chrome intake with K&N
Look again, virtually all SMOGed cars from the seventies on, have a
cold air induction. My old Bronco:

Re: Chrome intake with K&N
Is there a snorkel for the driver? It appears that the driver's head would
be several feet underwater with that setup.

I have all the old parts out in my shed. Just ran out to check. The air
filter goes in a rectangular plastic box which was connected to the
intake manifold by a clamped on plastic tube. From the front of the box
there is a flared snorkel that extends at an angle to slightly above the
height of the air filter box. Looks like a small black trumpet. It
terminated inside the engine compartment although very high up. It was
definitely not connected outside the engine compartment. The inside
diameter of the of the snorkel is less than an inch and a half. My
knuckle won't fit inside. The snorkel reminds me of the old metal
encased air cleaners of the '50s and '60s that had a "trumpet" extending
out from the round metal cover of the filter element. We'd pull that off
and put on a less restrictive air cleaner (and then a Holley Dual Feed,
cam, headers, $$$, etc..) ;-)

I saw one on a seventies or so Bronco, sticking straight up from a fender.
