i like the look of your stock one the best but which ever one you choose make sure your throttle linkage clears without binding i had to put a spacer on mine
Now you're really confusing me :banghead:
That stock air cleaner was originally black on the bottom and orange on top. That's why its still like that.
Never seen a 2-tone cleaner before....
What I meant was that the base has original black paint on it and the top has orange. They were never painted since new.
I guess it's a "mix and match" set up that was put together at some time before I owned it. I got the car off the original owner so I'll track him down and ask were they came from. Got me wondering now ???

Here's another vote for stock. As long as you've got enough snorkel cross-sectional area to equal or exceed the total cross-sectional area of the carburetor's venturis, you'll have no restriction. The snorkel type air cleaner is a much better deal for driveability and performance; you get warm air til the carb's warmed up, then you get cool air. Those open-element air cleaners suck up barbecue-hot engine air all the time. They sound meaner, but that's their only advantage.
