All,



Got this today from Chuck Engles, wonder why he didn't post it to the list?

Dear Mike,



Your recollections are correct.  My late '74 #7171( originally bone stock)

did have the air cleaner pointed to the passenger seat and a snorkle type

device snaked down to a plastic air scoop mounted to the firewall  below

and behind the passenger seat.

Yes, I did a little research and learned that the snorkel-plumbing thing was

a feature of very late '73 and all '74 and later cars.



Apparently the Pantera air cleaner was not as common as I originally thought.

I'm to receive a comprehensive education on the topic from Larry Stock

sometime in the next few days (he's got about five of them), and will share

whatever I think is even remotely interesting...



Mike
