Don't know if they made a 250 hp Air Box car, only the 283 hp Air Box and darn few of those with the dog dish hub caps and all.

When Walter called me at 2:03PM today he said he had a passenger car. Anyhow that's what I thought he said. Phone rang none stop today.

Qt: Do you think the passenger car hose and a typical hose for say a 58 to 62 FI air cleaner hose would be the same diameter??? I told Walt I thought so. But I am not sure. JD

He is talking about the air intake from the Rad. to heater

How do you know that, Roy? And, I've never understood that an FI equipped car used a different fresh air heater hose than a car not so equipped with FI. However, if this fellow is talking about a pass car, I might comment that he is on the wrong TDB. Best, Dennis

Well I a summed he's on a Corvette forum and asking about the large AIR fresh hose to the Corvette heater.Do you know what he's asking about? My thought was just that, did I make a big mistake .? For over 35 years I had a 57 FI, P/W,P/T Corvette.
I don't understand why you criticize what I think he was asking about?

Ken Kayser documents a 250 hp air box car in his book - cool stuff.

Loren;

Thanks. I'll look for it. His latest venture into the prototype F.I. unit in "Vette Vues" is also interesting. I'd like to talk to him about the 66+ prototype that never was some day (believe Doug Marion still has all the parts in his collection out in Cal.).

Roy;

Maybe you need to "soft ball" preface your remarks with a "I think this" or "I believe that", Ha! You know, we gots to be politically correct these days.

Re: 57 F.I. air intake hose

Sorry for the confusion. It is a 57 chev conv. 250HP It has a large hose 4 in diameter that goes from the air cleaner to the bottom of the radiator. I thought that the corvette version was the same.

i ahve an original 250 hp 210 post pass car FI and when i restored it, i used the 4" air duct hose used on the 55-62 c-1's to supply fresh air to the heater. neither AACA, VCCA not the classic chevy guys had an issue with the hose. mike
