[Found!] 273 2 barrel air cleaner base

Base like the bottom left in the borrowed picture. Base or lid (bottom right) and base. Thanks

I have a complete 273 two barrel air cleaner but can't get to it now because of the weather, maybe next week.

Thanks!

Found the air cleaner, but it's not what you're looking for.

Thanks for your time!

Still looking

The lid is the same as used with a 1bbl baseplate on some '61-'69 Slant-6s, with or without the crankcase breather nipple, so at least there's that. But yeah, the 2bbl baseplate is the prize find, used only in Barracudas to provide an unsilenced air cleaner assembly. Non-Barracuda 273-2bbls '64-'69 got the kind shown by Magnum Valiant, with horizontal (old-fashioned clamp band) fastening in '64-'65 and vertical (wingnut and bail) fastening from '66 on.

Thanks, makes me mad. I passed a few up at Carlisle this year.

you can just cut a regular 72 or what ever 318 2 brl base and use it with the 273 2 and 4 brl lid

I’ll look in my stuff, pretty sure I have a base and top (black) I’m not using.

Anyone know the hole diameter for the carb on the 2bbl base? Thanks

Found the top, I’ll have to dig through the garage to see if I can come across the bottom. If I find it I’ll let you know and I’ll measure the opening.

Any luck yet?

Sorry, I’ll check tomorrow. I’m off work and will look for it when I straighten out the garage after I drop my son off at school.

Found it! Base opening measures 2 5/8” and 7 1/2” the the filter element ridge.

Here’s the top and base. Slight pitting on the base outer edge, everything else looks like surface rust. @66fs
