1970 454 air cleaner elbow

[D S.]

I have a dual snorkel air cleaner that is missing its metal elbow from the bottom of the base. Does anyone reproduce these? Are they the same for the dual snorkel base as the open air element type base?

Thanks,

Repro has more wrinkles than the original, and most repro's are bright, not the dark plate. They are out there.

No, what he has are the 90 degree metal ones that goes from the rubber hose from the air cleaner tube to the driver's side valve cover. What I need is the one that the flame arrester attaches to and is welded to the bottom of both types of bases. I think only the angle is the difference between the small block and big block applications. I think. If anyone can share more information I would apreciate it.

If we are talking the same tube as the 427 and 350 I have some, PM sent.

The air cleaner is 6485887 in the AIM. I understand the flame arrestor tube size is the same size on both big and small blocks. Thanks!
