That snout is designed for a flexible hose to draw air from behind the grill. I had one similar on a 1973 Grandville with a 455. The one in your picture looks a little longer than the pictures I found. But maybe this will help narrow it down a little.

Yes, I thought the same thing about snout and a flex hose. I picked this up looking at Corvettes with the dual snouts. They are not flared at the tip of snout which is a give away. Though that alone isnt always the case.
Thx for the links. Will chk them out in a.m.

Looks like a mid to late 70's chevy 350 air cleaner (maybe others). I had one like that on a 76 Monte Carlo.

The Monte looks like a closer match for length and direction of the snout.
