Re: Wanted 61 Pontiac Tri Power Air Cleaner
Hi Jim:
If that is the only difference that is a easy modification to perform. We do it all the time on the 68 impala 427 air cleaners which have a slighly different angle between auto and standard. Any good body man should be able to assist since it seems the 64/65 are available.Thanks for getting back to me.Kind Regards Joe

Re: Wanted 61 Pontiac Tri Power Air Cleaner
Here is a 68 impala 427 one that a good friend has modified to change the angle 12 degrees as required.Once finished off and repainted it will be as original as one never touched.Just a option for you if the snorkel angle is the only difference.

Re: Wanted 61 Pontiac Tri Power Air Cleaner
Its the clocking of the snouts that are different,thats not and easy change. Yes I have changed many an angle of degree for Cowl and other air claners. Nice 427 4 spd air cleaner I still have the original on mine.

Re: Wanted 61 Pontiac Tri Power Air Cleaner
Hi Jim:
Yes the clocking would be a different story. I will ask my friend who is into these Pontiacs if he can assist with a 61. I just knew he had a 64/65 for sale.If you have your original on your 68 it is rare for sure especially if the car is a 4spd. Our two 68 427 auto's have original air cleaners but not the stick.It is a hens teeth air cleaner to find as you know but I guess if one does the numbers roughly just over 5000 big chevs with 427 4spd. Take out the 560 or so l-72, then how many were tossed in the first year since they are a big ugly thing.I have not seen a original 4spd one for sale in over 5 years.Take care Joe
