Air cleaner wanted - 1965 300 4bbl (355)

[9er3delta]

Looking for an air cleaner for our Fremont-built 1965 Skylark, the 355 version to go on top of a 400 CFM four barrel Carter AFB Carburetor.  I need both the bottom and top pieces.

Condition-wise, it could be from decent usable condition (driver), restorable condition (not banged up or rusted out) to fully restored (ready for Pebble Beach).

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The only difference between a CA version and a 49 state version is the hole for the closed crank case tube, so you should be able to modify one.

Also the upper is the same for a 2v or 4v just the tin label is different, also 64 has a different style snorkel not sure, but 66 and 67 might be different as well. 

As for base, Chevrolet used the same style only the upper may be slightly different 64-67 I believe.

If I can find the one from my CA 210 air cleaner I will post a few pictures for reference

Good luck with the search

Regards,
Jim

Hi Loren!  I just found one that looks like it will work.  Thanks for the offer!  But I do have a question.  Was the AC filter data on the side of the top originally stamped onto the black painted top or was there another method it was applied?  I only ask because I noticed all of mine are smeared ever so slightly.  Thanks!  John

John,

  The AC filter data was printed , most likely silk screened, to the side. See attached picture.

Thanks Loren!  Now I just need to figure out how to reproduce it!

John,

  I seem to recall that there is a sticker made.  I suppose a rubber stamp or a silk screen could be made. When I worked on aircraft interiors , the company I worked for had equipment to make silk screens. I don't know of a source though to do that.
 I did a search for rubber stamp, custom.  Here is a link : https://www.thestampmaker.com/?msclkid=2ccd283fb5bc19759c1e48eb1a7d9973&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Rubber%20Stamps%20(Imported)&utm_term=custom%20rubber%20stamps&utm_content=Custom%20Rubber%20Stamps

I knew these were reproduced, just couldn't recall earlier.

 Here is a link to a correct decal from Classic Buicks .com.
