What are you looking for exactly -correct originality or just something that works? Original air cleaner housings are common on Ebay. Any 68-up Olds 4bbl air cleaner housing will work. Other GM 4bbl housings will work but are not "correct".

yeah i really want an original, but there so expensive. i am trying to keep the car somewhat original as far as the engine and interior. but HELL, those air cleaners are sooooooooo high ! what i was asking though, was would other ones for a different car look the same so i can powdercoat it and put the 350 sticker on it! - thanks again JOE !!! -Lee

You should be able to find an original air cleaner housing at the local scrap yard. Powdercoating is an excellent option for under hood items like brackets, valve covers, and accessories. I had the valve covers powder coated on my 64 about 5 years ago and they still look great. Make sure you get a powder coating that is chemical resistant.
