You guys have been a great wealth of knowledge. I appreciate it. I was on a VW forum for many years and it turned into a lot of grab, slap and tickle which is ok to a point....anyways.....

So I'm going to start cleaning up the neglected engine bay. Not a huge fan of the chrome and foam Chinese air filter. Anyone have a spare stock one they would like to ditch?

I have no idea the value of some of this stuff so if this is like a one year only $500 unit then chrome and foam it is for now...

Its a 383 with 2 barrel holley. From the research I did it looks like this:

oh, well looking on ebay is discouraging....is there another cheaper option like a year no one wants that will fit and look sort of the same?
 
If you,r looking for original look for a single snorkel air cleaner , that was on your car......
And cheaper then the dual snorkels for the 4bbl
 
There,s also a difference in the baseplate....... smaller (2bbl) and bigger hole(4bbl) for the carb . For the look if you like the dual snorkel you can use it.
 
I've got a CAP and non CAP single snorkel like above, 66 on both ,75 plus the ride each, I'm in MN
 
Thanks everyone. With some help we figured it it had a 4 barrel base but it's a 2 barrel Holley. It needs the crankcase vent tube (for 68)
Got one on the way.

Next question....does it get a fancy sticker like this or is it plain?

Still need some window cranks and seat knobs though.....

Plain, that sticker is for a different air cleaner. That's made for an air cleaner with a larger center indent.
