Early GTO oil filler caps

[60sStuff]

Follow-up on post #9 with the ‘66 Tri-Power with A.I.R.
Engine code WV (1550) produced.

This is a spare unit showing some up close views of this “one year only” complicated system.

The “Special air cleaner” for the air injection pump is unique.

The large plastic cap on the back unscrews to access the filter inside the snorkeled air cleaner.
This filter has a flat piece of perforated metal sandwiched between oiled foam.

Looking inside the air cleaner shows the accumulated dirt on the intake side of where the foam filter would be.

I have another separate air cleaner with the metal plate that has different wording on the cap.

NOS A224C oiled filter in plastic bag.

I purchased this ‘66 3x2’s smog unit about 40 years ago from an older gentleman at a swap meet. He said it had been sitting on the garage shelf for years.
