68 on up 88 98 with 455 question

Guys on these land yachts with a q-jet and a 455 what is the diameter of the Air cleaner base? I may need to source one for my build.

I just checked my '68 Ninety Eight (with A/C) and the outside diameter of the base is approximately 16 3/4" and the carb. opening is approximately 5 1/16" for the Q-Jet. Same as as some 442s in '68... the marking on it is "OG". There is one that looks correct on this site for sale "68 442 & BB air cleaner" and you can find them on Ebay at times - never cheap. Hope this helps, Dave
