Yea, they're in every fastback Riviera since. The newest '69 kit I have has it and I also have a builtup '68 with it on the engine. They seem to be missing the two small pieces that attach to the sides though. I destroyed the ones on this one and was going to use the ones,,, *PIC*

'67 Riviera finished , , [PICS]
Well done. Nice and clean. *NM*
Super nice. Are the emblems photoetch or did you foil kit? *NM*
Photoetch. The '67 has the scripts on the hood and trunk as well as the fenders so I needed 2 of the '66 sheets for all four scripts. *NM*
Beauty, eh? Lovin’ the Star Wars air cleaner! *NM*
Yea, me too. '67 was the only year to use them. *NM*
Just curious.... Even though it was only used on the 67, was it included in the later kits?

In the instruction page you posted, it shows the engine having an option of "Hilborn" fuel injection. Is that in the latest '69 kit, too? *NM*
Yes, with stacks and some funky air cleaners attached to them. *NM*
Thanks... That explains it! *NM*
That's wild that they supply the manifold, but nothing else? (stacks, timing cover, fuel pump...) *NM*
No stacks so it fits under the hood. Notice the "fuel injection pump" that replaces the power steering pump *NM*
Oh yeah, I see it now. Thanks. I believe that's pure fantasy on the part of the kit designers. *NM*
I think the '69 kit has some sort of stack/air filter arrangement, not sure if it still has the fuel pump *NM*
Yes, it does. I know because I keep throwing them away. LOL. It does show stacks on the side of the '67 box but my example was pre-built so I don't know for sure if they were in there or not. *NM*
Pretty sure they'd fit Mark. The stock air cleaner and carb sit pretty high to start with. I cut the mounting tab from the bottom of my air cleaner so it would sit lower and look better. *NM*
Looking great Steve! *NM*
NIce build! What color did you use? *NM*
Well, I wanted a dark teal color so I has some very dark blue and added a bit of very dark forest green and that's what I ended up with. *NM*
Looks like an OEM color for this car. Very nice build! *NM*
BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
I'm with David.... No other word fits better than, BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
WOW!! *NM*
Very nice build, Steve. The color is perfect for that car. *NM*
Very nicely done, I'm in Riviera mode now, working on a custom '63, so it's great to see such a nice build, I'm using some of that kit's stuff. Cheers! *NM*
Yes, I've been following your build on the other board. Very cool. *NM*
Very clean build as usual. I particularly like the tinted windshield. However it needs an NB plate *NM*
That looks perfect, Steve. The redlines pop the finish, and the Buick rallys look great *NM*
Very sleek looking Heavy Hot-Rod. Nice job. *NM*
Nicely done and great detailing on the chrome esp the emblems. *NM*
Beautiful resto Steve. The color, details, just super nice. *NM*
Beautiful! *NM*
