'68 Air Cleaner Part Number
I am sure this has been discussed before, but can someone please confirm the correct air cleaner P/N for a 1968 Olds 442, 400 engine and 4bbl carb, automatic w/o AC? Is it 6424834 and is it stenciled in white on the side of the air cleaner?
I have also seen air cleaner P/N 6424835 stenciled in white. What is the difference?

6424834 is for the police model 350ci or 40ci engine and carries a highway patrol sticker. 6424835 is for the '68 4-4-2 model, either automatic or manual transmission, and uses the "OLDSMOBILE 442" pie plate on top of the air cleaner cover. I'm not sure if the highway patrol air cleaner is red or black. The 4-4-2 air cleaner is definitely red. Both have stenciled (or silk-screened) labels but the part numbers between the 4-4-2 and highway patrol numbers for that stenciled label are different.

6424835 OG is the correct air cleaner for the 4bbl 442 (non W30)
