Early HEI era, when suddenly ALL Oldsmobiles got OAI, they just didn't tout it. Around 73-77 or so.
I always wanted to make a dual snout air cleaner with those OAI tube adapters, but it goes the wrong way on the RH side, and you can't flip it over or it sticks up, so the really need a mirror image of it or just do w/o the both of them and then you are back to the '68-9 type OAI snouts.

Thanks for the quick response. One more question: Is it for intermediate size car or big-body, etc?

75 and up. No HEI in 73/74 and that air cleaner does have the metal stamping for HEI at the back. This style was common to A, B,and C bodies when it came out. Lots of sellers represent it as early 70's but we know different.
