Air Cleaners

[David Kosin]

Any recommendations who makes best reproduction air cleaners for first gens?

I haven’t seen any repops for the HP engines. Or any really.

I've got a single snorkel for sale, tho the 383 came with a dual, or that little round one depending on the factory

I don't believe they had a dual snorkel on a 66.

I have a 67 440. Trying to get stock dual snorkel. Trying to determine if snorkels were oval or round.

Round

Round

I'd call that oval. My original 67 383 is a round dual snorkel.

Nick's garage list them. I believe the one above this post is 67 440

My 383 looks like this, so I believe the oval above is correct for 67 440

I believe that 67 383`s were round. The 67 440`S were oval.

looks like (probably) oval. I have AC. Wondering if I need the lower profile due to scraping under hood. Gonna have to use a hunk of clay to figure my clearance. Note below.

I also think the Chargers did not get the cleaner with matte crinkle finish. Just semi-gloss black painted smooth.

I have never seen an original 66-67 dual snorkel in anything but smooth black.

 

[David Kosin]

Think that is what I need. Dual snorkel, smooth black.

My original was crinkle finish, like the posted above.

Not oval, air filter element is round and the air cleaner assembly flows right with it. It does have two flat spots but it doesn’t make it oval.

I purchased a car the last year with the original air cleaner that was never redone and it has a texture to it. The one in the picture was redone and probably has a bit more texture than the original one. But, definitely not a smooth finish.

Pictures?

The 383 dual snorkel had snorkels that were round, the 440 snorkels were oval. As for finish, I have only seen original as smooth. Think texture was a later thing unless...... there was a factory making a textured one. ???? Personally I like the texture. Here is a 440 in a 67 300.

Of? Post 6.

Maybe I’m not understanding the round vs oval. Air cleaner portion is round, snorkels are oval.

 

[David Kosin]

Oval vs. round snorkel

I only have oval snorkels like in post 6. Here’s the other one. Original finish but I have it greased up to look a bit newer.
