They look more like they're from a B body. Note the offset on the mounting. That's for the HEI clearance on the back. I'd suggest those are from 74/75 Delta/98?

Definitely from the mid-1970s, shortly after the introduction of HEI, as Allan noted. I can't say for sure they are from a full size, but 74-75 is about the right year.

Looks verrry close to my 75-77 A bodies...the pic is NOT of my car, but was clearer for comparison.

However, if you look at you pic, the hole in the air cleaner appears almost dead center - same with the lid. The one in the pic that rktolds posted is considerably eccentric.

No argument here Allan, I will take a pic from overhead tomorrow evening if I can, and post that for more accuracy. Felice Natividad!

Here are pics of my 77 442 350/350...forgot to take a tape out during pics, but AC is 16.5">< diameter. If you need more info to nail those down let me know. Brett
