My air cleaner lid is 14 or 15” I believe...some minor patina but looks great for a vintage original part...I cherish it and looks great on my old school ride.
Who has these Pentastars?

if I don't get any more comments in the next couple days I may keep trying to bump the thread just a little bit to see if I can get any more responses on it. You know how it is sometimes you look at certain places in the form and sometimes you don't look at certain places for a long time. But it does seem the consensus says they're pretty damn rare! I consider stuff like this unsellable...

I got those air filters with the stars from a member and was very lucky to be the first one on them when they popped up on the for sale. It was one of those right place at the right time no doubt about it! I traded a four-speed Overdrive, a Hurst shifter, and a few other things to get my direct connection valve covers and they were brand new in the box. (I didn't stop offering him stuff till he finally said okay you can have them) I still haven't used the original grommets that are still sealed in a little baggie Inside the Box. White Punk Nitro sold me a direct connection distributor hold down clamp, but the only evidence of that is the package- nothing written on it. Also I have a direct connection Chrome oil filter which LOL is a little old and I don't plan to use even though it's new. I do have a set of those Mopar spark plugs, but again something else I won't use. also I have a really cool direct connection tachometer but it's only got two wires coming out of it and I believe it's for maybe being run off of a Magneto? I'd sure like to have it either connected up properly? Or the guts of it changed to something that I can use and still reveal the direct connection front? I had better take a quick picture of that one. of course I had a thread about it like everything a long time ago, but I couldn't even tell you what the title to that thread was?

This resides in the bookcase next to our couch. and as you can see down to the left there's a business card of some old codger that's always at all the swap meets. He's got the Stars and Stripes Don Garlits tack that I'd like to have also but he's like somewhere around 475 to $550 for it. He told me there was a guy here in town that was hard to get a hold of and always backed up extremely far and I think he also does clocks and such. But he recommended him to try and repurpose the tack and make it usable.

I used to have all the chrome DC stuff for the B-RB engines, timing cover, dist hold down, valve covers...think I sold most of that. I still have a chrome coil cover and these cool valve cover hold downs...a full NOS set!

I have never seen one of these...small but heavy metal plaque/emblem with a sticky back and a brushed face....NOS...odd and cool!

I love it! I'm blowing the pictures up on my phone so I can see every last little detail! Those are really cool... now the question would be do you have 12 for a big block or 10 for a small block of the valve cover hold Downs? Just out of curiositity...

I've had these sitting around for years. Can't say for sure if they are DC, or not.

You spent two days……asking the entire interwebs……for pictures of fratzogs nuts. Lol.
And now I’m laughing again. Lol

Holy smokes! All this joking and I almost missed your post! I wouldn't let those sit around for a second they'd be holding down my direct connection valve covers if I could get my hands on them! Thank you for sharing!

Well, they don't go with the engine compartment on the Dart in my avatar, since it's mostly stock, and they don't go with my fury, since the engine color is red. And the 440 would need 2 more. I've never seen these anywhere else. Not sure what I want to do with them. I don't know their value either.....

Awesome thread... got me thinking, it wouldn't be too hard to reproduce something like that would it? Just CNC now vs cast before? some kind of epoxy creation on top?
