1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Today I checked out my inventory of air cleaners. I had two painted lids. Both came from 1965 273 Darts. One with and one without the outlet. There are some differences between the two of them but the one with the outlet is the same height as the chromed one.

But to get back to the one that I borrowed. I found an old book that I bought in the mid eighties. In that book is a picture of a 273 HP with air cleaner. When I check it out it seems like the air cleaner is not the same as the one I borrowed. It has the same center dome as my convertible. Can it possibly be a pre production unit?

Keith and Dan! Thanks guys for all the input in this matter. Things is driving me nuts and when I'm so far away from the market I really appriciate your help. Thanks.

I would like more input from Commando/Charger owners with the chromed air cleaner. I need to know for my own project as well as the reference manual I'm writing.
