Looking for a reasonably priced 1970 442 air cleaner base with or without the weep holes in the bottom. Trying to find something for under $200.00 with shipping included. Does not have to be OEM.

they are pretty easy to copy..ive done a few..just find a standard base look for some pics, and go at it...semi ruff ones are bringing 400ish...so..doing it yourself could save some money

i do have a 70 base off a 70 vista that was a 455 car(i have the whole drive train still)..it looks right to me..actually has a date code stamp in it still..ill see if i can put my hands on it, and get some pics, some holes popped here and there and it would be close enough to pass...

Mark.
I have one from what appears to be a big body car that fits nicely but it has the long snorkel. Trying to find one with a shorter / wider snorkel. I'm not sure if anything other than the 442's had them. I know I my chances of finding the correct one at that price range is slim but I thought I'd throw it out there. I've ponied up for most everything I've purchased for this car so hopefully I'll get a little break.

marxjunk

what is the length of the snorkel..the one you have?

i found the one i have, and another..that i didnt know i had...i have nothing to compare to..

whats the length of a real one? ive never had a real one, i just converted what i had..it didnt matter to me..

I'm not sure what the dimensions are.
There's a 70 W31 at my buddies body shop. I'll try to stop in there tomorrow and take some measurements.

I can't help you with the 442 base, but I am looking for a non 442 base for my '71 455. Dated 153 71 or earlier would be slick. If either of you have one and want to sell it, please let me know.

i parted a 71 455 4bbl car and have that air cleaner..i will look at it.i cant remember if the date is still on it or not..after Rick figures out what he needs, i will get with ya

Thanks! I should have said it was for a 455 Cutlass, but from my parts book, A & B bodies used the same one. Do you have the intake & starter from that 71?

I have an air cleaner off a 71 442. It says 442 on the lid and is not the OAI style. Let me know if that is what you are looking for. I put the ram air hood on it along with that style air cleaner set up and have had this on the shelf for a few years.

I have purchased the base that I needed.

I actually just bought a total repro model from partsplace thinking I had lost it during the restoration or it got tossed when we moved and of course the day the new one came, I found the old one. Anyway, I do have it with the holes and all, its a GM original. The problem is the shipping cost. It's so oversize as far as the USPS is concerned, the last time I shipped one of these to Chicago area, it cost me 115 bucks. That doesn't leave hardly anything for the part. If you know a better/cheaper way to ship it from 89048 to you, I'm listening..

I have already purchased a base but thanks for the offer.
