Turns out, I've got a real dandy 1969 big block air cleaner. Unfortunately, my car is a '68 and so has valve cover breather on driver's side. Willing to trade plus cash, or buy outright if not a crazy price. I'd even go for just the base. Worst comes to worst, I'll convert to 1969 valve cover breather and grommet.

 

As referenced in your other post, that OS air cleaner is a '69.

 

'69 Vista?

 

It doesn't matter. All 4 bbl 400 Vista & 442 used the same breather, different label > #624835 & 6424958 for W30, 1968.

I have a 6424834 or air cleaner in the garage. I dont know if it'll work for you. I have no use for it. Let me know and I'll get some more pics later this evening.

 

OE is a small block.

 

 

The snout opening is smaller

 

Slowbird sent me pics and is similar to the 1968 big block base except the snorkel doesn't taper. Might even be a bit longer as well.

 

I'm not sure what you mean. An OG air cleaner snout tapers, just not as much

Slowbird's air cleaner was for a small block. It looks much the same as a big block base, except the snorkel is not tapered.

This is what it says on the side of the air cleaner base.

Thanks Dan. I am interested. I sent you a pm with my phone number for text of pics.

 

The small block snorkel has a welded piece at the opening of the snorkel and is smaller. The big block snorkel is wider at the opening and no extra metal.
