This was mentioned in another thread, and if these are incorrect, then what are the correct cowl vent screens for a '72 Supreme with A/C?

 

It's a fine mesh metal screen with raised areas pressed into the mesh. I don't think I have a photo handy, but maybe someone else does.

 

Note that the OEM screen has a formed raised area above the wiper motor for crank arm clearance.

 

Is it held with black or silver screws?

 

Dave, I will send you the correct screws with the cowl screen.

 

Always liked the Chevy plastic inserts. They don't look like me and my buddy's cut some screen and screwed it in place. Not a heck of a lot of car show viewers know these are not the right parts.

 

I wouldn't be too worried about what the idiots at car shows have to say. My buddy used to show is 69 Z/28 all the time and you'd be amazed the number of idiots that said he ruined the cowl hood by sticking FORD 302 emblems on it, gave him crap for putting Corvette finned aluminum valve covers on it and could tell just by walking past that it was a 350, not a real DZ 302. And if you know anything, all Z's with a cowl hood had 302 emblems, all Z's had finned valve covers, and if they had bothered to look at the engine stamp, they clearly would've seen the DZ stamp.

 

I hear ya, but I would know...lol
