68 Gs Firewall To Aircleaner Adapter

I am looking for the molded adapter that goes from the firewall on the 68 GS to the aircleaner, making this a ram air type induction system.

 

I have seen 1 for sale in the last 15 years:eek2: and a board member outbid me to win it so it is still around...

Good luck

 

i believe a Buick member is in the process of reproing them.

 

Here's pic of an original I saved.

 

That's the first I've ever heard of this item.

Hey, that is my pic and parts and carpet..... Yes it is a for real item. Even carries a GM part number on the box and my 1972 parts manual lists it. It was offered to turn your 68 GS hood into a ram air setup. It has the GM instructions and template with it. Best I can figure for that metal ring is its to stop the boot from collapsing. It doesn't fit anywhere else.

I was told Buickfrank was repopping them but he is not. I have spoken with him about it.

Sorry Mike ! it was me that out bid you...... And sorry its not for sale. Marcel.

 

I know someone else in Michigan that has a NOS kit......very cool and VERY effective.....


Peace WildBill

 

Where ya been? :laugh:

You need start hanging with us lowly 68\69 guys a bit more. :beer

 

So Bill ole buddy, how about passing some good words on to your MI friend for me.

:TU:

 

I havent bought a hemmings in a long time but there was a guy in california that had a bunch of them for sale. like 5 or 6 NOS in boxes 100 bux each...cant remeber how long ago, but defnately rember them, i talked to him on the phone and he emailed me a pic plus the instructions...i asked him how he got them, and he said he ran them on the locator, and got them....ive never seen another one for sale either...so i dont know if he sold them or what...old guy was into buicks real heavy....sound like any one anyone know???...maybe the bay area? seems like, i remeber him saying it was raining so much they where having terrible mud slides...

 

isn't this more of a cowl induction than a ram air ?

Ohh ... and Mark, when did you get a '68 ?!?!?!?

 

If you consider that the cowl is positively pressurized at higher speeds, you have "ram air".

Mark, best I could offer you is a copy of the installation instructions form Buick Motor Divison. It was reprinted in the eary 80's in a KB news letter. At that time it still available from GM.

I have only seen one GM one installed and it is on a 70 car. thanks Bill.

 

Bill,

Yes, that is true! I don't know the status, though!
