What does the air cleaner look like on a 1971 Charger 383?

[SteveSS]

We're getting down to the small stuff on the 1971 Charger 500. What did the air cleaner and the decal look like on the high-performance 383? There are a ton of pictures out there but what's correct?

This, except with a 383 pie tin. Note the breather tube is on the drivers snorkel.

Yep, one year only unit.

Are there reproductions made?

 

[T2R9]

No

Depends on how bad you want one... This one needs a full restore.

My old '71 Charger 500 WP23U1A******, did not have the long breather tube, but had the inlet breather on the passenger side valve cover with the fuel tank and carb vapor inlet ....first year for 50 states emission control for fuel vapor storage.

That's not a 1971 383/440 air cleaner.

That's a 1970 or possibly other years. And it's missing (broken off) the vacuum motor on one of the snorkels.

Correct, it's a one year only 1970. Both snorkel gussets are triangles.
