I am looking for pics of the correct air cleaner for a 72 cutlass 4bbl,pics of top and bottom.I have 3 bottoms and 2 tops from olds, but they don't fit right,and each look different.One cover has hole in the center,one is offset.Need to know which is correct, if any.I may need to buy one if mine are not right.Thanks for the help!

 

the hole for the carb should be in the center. the offset one would be off a newer car with HEI. if you have added an HEI to your car you will have to use the offset one or cut the back of the other one.

 

Thanks,I have an original cover with hole in the center,so now I need to know if one of my 3 bottoms is for a 72.One hole is round,and another hole is round with a couple notches and larger indents as if to make room for something that would be in the way with the cleaner on the carb.

 

Here is an original I restored a while back:

 

Photographs of the parts in question would be helpful.

The one on the left is correct. The right one looks to be a later Toro style base with all the cutouts for clearance because of the lo-profile intake and distributor.
