Does anybody know if anybody reproduces the air cleaner for the 69 hurst olds? I heard there is one person that does this, but i dont know if it's true or not.

If you mean the "top can" the answer is Yes.

Call Bob Anderson in Tampa Florida 813-932-4611

The bottom of the air cleaner is just a 442 base with 5 holes drilled in it.

Here's the skinny

..So..?? I just need to get a 69 Cutlass air cleaner base and drill some holes huh..??

Close you need a 69 442 air cleaner base.

The top can simpily slides down into the base. You will also need a lid for the air filter that is smaller than the base. The bad news is "correct ones" are tuff to find, the good news is many smaller aftermarket lids will work [although they won't be correct] so Don't take apart your air cleaner at shows.

But I recently learned here [Thanks to Wmachine] that all 69 air cleaner bases are not created equal.

Check this out to discover the gradations betwix a 69 442 and a regular air cleaner base.

Hey thanks man, off hand do you know what he's charging?

Jamesbo

Last I heard it was $1,600.

Wow.

In 1981 I bought my whole 69 H/O for $2,000 (from a seller in beautiful downtown Burbank). It was missing the original intake, carb, air cleaner, and outside mirrors. Later in the mid-1980s, I found and bought a set of exactly those parts (correct intake, carb, air cleaner top, and outside mirrors) for $600 (also from a seller in SoCal). I always wondered if those were the original parts from my car.

i have an air cleaner top and flapper door that i made out of fiberglass a long time ago that may be available. when it's installed you can't tell it's not metal

I thought W-Tony was making the top parts. Then stopped?

I have one air cleaner base for such a project, the OS code 442 unit.

The intake is easy, I have 3 of them in the basement, almost made.

Hey Chris, the base for the H/O air cleaner is NOT the same as the 442.

Due to the PCV in the intake, the base had outlets for each valve cover and the originals did not have holes drilled in the bottom like the 70 and up bases did.

I have one of the fiberglass reproduction tops I used for one season that I will sell. PM me of you are interested

Ah, I see

I was going by post #2 info, which may be inaccurate:
