Since it has the metal bulb on the end of the snorkel I think that's on the early end of 1974-80. I've also seen the bulb in plastic. John

The return of the dreaded free mystery air cleaner!!


How are the steel surface gradiation readings on the inside of the snorkel Jamesbo?
I need detailed engineering drawings in several different perspective angles and shipping price quotes by no less than three shippers to The Galapagos Islands via Outer Gdansk to determine if I want to accept it.
With tracking and insurance.


Did somebody get it or did you finally run that thing over with your truck a few times to put it out of it's misery Jamesbo??

I need an air cleaner for a 72 cutlass 350, that has an HEI distributor. And this isn't that, we don't think. Haha.

Jaunty,

Ole buddy,

I give up. I am totally defeated.

I would say, What is it used for? or What is it's purpose?

But my southern drawl and misplacement of modifiers and leaving dangling participles off times [often] leads me to phrases like kinda, woulda, shoulda, oughta, fer

That's a pasture down here...

Don't worry Jamesbo- I understand you!

Come to think of it I can understand almost any English dialect, except Scots- which is unusual being as the family is of Highland Scot descent.

I love the differences...

Yankees think "fixin'" means repairing

Good ole boys know "fixin'" means preparing for...

We fixin' to get educated on the original application for the above air cleaner.

Actually Jamesbo talks perfect Anglish. Here in the Appalachians it aint the language you worry about but the distant sound of banjo music....padel faster

I think we have you covered on that since the banjo music came from just up the road from me here in N. Georgia
