Default Air cleaner base ID
Can anyone tell me what this air cleaner base is from. Vent tube starts at 1" and tapers down to 3/4". Tube exits about the 10-11 o'clock position. I was going to eliminate the tube to make it work on something but if that's a bad idea I can try and find another base. Thanks

I believe this is off a 1969 Corvette 427 / 390 car.

I needed a base and both needed modified to work. I think the other base I have is from a repop cowl induction air cleaner. I guess I won't use this one. I'm not sure what lid what have been used with it.

That base is the last open element air filter Chevy used. It fits a one year only 1973 Z28. The odd tube angle is for clearance of the EGR valve.

The fact that it tapers down to a 3/4 inch tube makes a big difference. Most all others have a full one inch tube.

Would a 1973 open element Chevrolet base have a flat bottom? After 1970 most I saw had a ridge going around the outside.
