air cleaner repair

well i got a 70 dual snorkel air cleaner for free off a scrap pile with a 70 road runner headed to scrap ....( i know i know ...the car was too far gone and not mine anyway)

so even though it was a free air cleaner it was damaged ......it was run over on one snorkel ....so i was looking around and i noticed that the snorkel is almost exactly the same as slanty or 2 BBl. air cleaner.

so i cut off the snorkel from a slanty air cleaner and i am proceeding to transplant it.

with the bad snorkel cut off i have it in the sand blast cabinet now.


stay tuned as we go through this air cleaner resto idea ....maybe it wont work but i have to try .......this is a 70 only cleaner with the straight line on the snorkel and the slanty air cleaner donor snorkel is also a 70 ....same snorkel.

to make life hard it had to be the passenger side snorkel which has a base that is unique to dual snorkel air cleaners so i will be doing hammer and dolly work on the bottom section of the snorkel

the snorkels are pretty easy to remove as they have four spot welds to break.
