What I am curious about, as I am trying to gather the parts for a correct looking '68 engine bay, is the direction the snout on the air cleaner points. The 2 barrel unit on my truck now points to the right side of the truck, and the 4-barrel cleaner I am planning to buy off a board member also points of to the right (and I think is off a '72), but a lot of the air cleaner, both 2 and 4 barrel I've seen on this board point to the left.

So, to recap:
Manual tranny 1/2 ton trucks had AIR system and no Thermac valve on the snout; and

Auto tranny 1/2 tons had the Thermac valve on the snout and a heat stove on the exhaust; and

both tranny types had PCV. Right???

I'm confused!!!
