1970 Dual Snorkel AAir Cleaner

65 Dartman · Friday at 12:02 PM

An acquaintance has a well used dual snorkel air cleaner thatI’m interested in buying. It appears to be for a 70 383/440. No pics. He hasn’t a clue what to ask for it as he’s a Chevy guy. What would be a reasonable offer for it?

A 70 is one year only and should have triangular gussets on both snorkels when you look at it between the legs. Newer have one triangle and a funky shaped ones, even newer all funky.

Some 71's have the 70 style gussets with the difference being the breather tube. 71 on the drivers snorkel and 70 on the pass rear. 70's in good shape regularly sell for $250-300.

Use this guide to ID it.

Just any mid 70s dual is selling for $250.00 usd. A 1 year only 70 should be selling for easily double that. Kim

Crazy what these are selling for these days no matter what year or applications. I had probably scrapped or given away 50+/- of various year air cleaners over the years back when aftermarket chrome everything was cool.

The guy sent me some pictures I asked for

The inside of each snorkel. Looks like this is a 70 based on the info provided here and on Nick’s Garage website

Any obvious damage:

He said someone tried to fit it to a small block with a Sanden compressor and “relieved” the front of the bottom to fit. He used part of another air cleaner to begin the repair which is wheee he stopped. He’s asking me to make an offer

Fifty dollars because of his stupidity. Kim

Thanks Kim! That “repair” looks like it needs to be completed. I won’t say it would be a piece of cake, but compared to all the metal work done to convert my wagon to a sedan delivery, it doesn’t look that hateful. We’ll see what he says
