Toronado dual snorkel air cleaner
I like the look of the 66-67 Toronado dual snorkel air cleaner. Will this fit on any SBO with applicable carb? Or did the Toronado have a different intake manifold compared to the Cutlass?

You may have to modify it a little bit but not much. I have a couple of them and I plan on using one on my 72 Cutlass. I stuck it on and it seemed to fit okay. You may have to punch a hole in the bottom for the pipe coming from the valve cover on the right side.

Even though the Toro piece is necessarily different due to the negative-rise Toronado intake, it will fit any QuadraJet equipped Olds and most aftermarket carbs. You'll notice the dimple for the thermostat housing is much more pronounced on Toronado aircleaners, and it won't work with an HEI distributor without "body work" at the back.
One other thing to consider is that even though it uses the standard 14x3 BOP air filter element, it necks down considerably between the filter element and carb airhorn. If airflow restriction is a consideration, keep that in mind.
