Correct 1964-65 air cleaner??

[Anthony P.]

I think this is a 1964-65 250-300hp air cleaner but not sure, and I do not see any part numbers on it. How can I tell what year/application it is for?

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,

Tony

Tony,

Appears correct.....believe same style was used on the 1963 as well.

It appears to be a 300 hp air cleaner (without AC). The air conditioned cleaners had two tabs where it mates to the carb to keep it slightly aimed to the right. This helped with clearance for the upper radiator hose which also is close to the alternator bracket. Don H.

I believe the 250 HP base would have been different than 300 HP because of the smaller air horn on the WCFB relative to the AFB, but the lid is probably the same.

The '63 air cleaner bases didn't have the flame arrestor screen because the '63 PCV system flowed the other way - from the air cleaner to the crankcase, and then to the PCV valve at the base of the carb and into the inlet manifold.
