Thanks for reading -

I am taken by the above-mentioned item...are there any after-market suppliers? Any particular used-parts sellers?

What all years and models offered a dual-snorkel air cleaner for 455 with HEI on 73-77 Cutlass ?

Thanks -

The 75 Hurst Olds and I would assume all other Cutlasses with the 455 did not have dual snorkel air cleaners.

74 hurst w30 had a dual snorkel .

Redoldsman - I only learned of these through this Hemmings story

Gmcdually - That appears to be exactly what I'm talking about...does that have clearance on the back for HEI (can't be sure because of glare) ?

Is that part for sale ?

redoldsman

It should have clearance for HEi since the 75's came with HEI.

Notched for clearance

Dad bought a 455 Cutlass back around 1983. He took the air cleaner off and covered the engine with plastic, to work on it. He passed three years ago, and last year I found the air cleaner. It was off the 74, which is mine. It has two snorkels, one offset and short, but there is NO PART # ANYWHERE. It does however have the two bumps to clear parts of the engine. Apparently only 74 high performance had the dual snorkel. Before I found the one Dad put away, I tried finding one of these. The short snorkel does not look like it is vacuum operated. Anyway, I took one of the valve covers loose, and the engine had a double spring on four of the valves; a spring in a spring. But no part #. Hope this helps.

Correction, I just looked at the pix of the engine (it is in my storage building) and I think ALL OF THE eight valves have spring in a spring. Pix not very clear, though.
