Re: Air Cleaner Lid

Is this the same lid? It measures a little bit over 16.5 inches.

The cowl plenum air cleaner lid is 16 13/16" in diameter. That lid you show is similar but not correct. I believe it is the one used on 327 4bbls. It has rubber inside the groove around the edge whereas the real cowl plenum piece does not have any rubber there. To my understanding, Nelson Rudisill uses the style of air cleaner lid as shown in your picture because it is relatively close in appearance and then makes his own base to fit that slightly smaller lid. That way he only has to manufacture the bottom, not the whole thing.
