I just posted an air cleaner for one of these cars on Ebay. I thought a few of you may be interested. Here is a link: 66 Air Cleaner

Good Luck,

Jason

What happened to the little ears that position the air cleaner body on the carb? It looks like the were cut off.

I really have no idea. Besides the blasting, this is how it came to me. I am fairly ignorant when it comes to the details of these air cleaners. I can grab some close ups if you like.

That would be cool. Do you know what area I'm referring to?

Here is a pic. It is a bit tough to see due to the etching primer.

Yep, that's it. They were cut off. Those might be pretty hard to replicate.

Is there any reason to replicate them? It would be much harder to replicate the rest of the air cleaner .

Well, sure it would be harder to replicate the whole air cleaner. The ears center the air cleaner on the top of the 3246 Holley and keep it from moving. If you want the air cleaner to be the way it should, the way it came from the factory, to be properly centered and not have it moving around, you'd fix it...wouldn't you? Why would you not repair it?
