    72 LT1 air cleaner

    I have an OEM original air cleaner, however the base while original doesn't have the hanger paint void marks. I presume a previous owner repainted it. My question is it worthy stripping it and repainting to include the hanger marks for judging purposes ? If anyone has a photo of a air cleaner base with correct hanger marks please post.

    Not all the air cleaner bases had the hanger mark. If the finish looks original, leave it be.

    I just looked at the 1970-72 TIM&JG. The sentence dealing with the shadow of the hook says that shadow was "frequently" there. Frequently does not mean always, so relax. The TIM&JG is not intended to be a "How to do it" book. If one tries to use it as a rigid instruction manual it will lead one down a very expensive rabbit hole that has no end.

      Hi Terry, I believe the paint on the air cleaner base appears to be untouched. My original question came from the reference in the 1970-72 TIM&JG. As always your input is very helpful.

        Terry, photo of our air cleaner base. We believe the paint it original without any hanger marks, we plan on using it (cleaned up) as is.
