I always liked the six pack/ six barrel air cleaners. Has anyone ever modified the base plate to fit a single four barrel carb ?
 
They made them factory. For 383 and 440. Heights differ obviously.
I believe they call it a fresh air filter assembly or air grabber (but not the more. commonly remembered one). I've looked a while, but they're spendy for what they are. Some repops on ebay last time I looked.

I didnt know that. Ive seen ones that has the six pack style base plate with a single 4bbl top. I was thinking of buying a used top & making a base plate.
 
1969 B-bodies 383 and 440 4 barrel with the oval filter and top. Yes they look cool.

In 1970-71 they changed it and made it a round top and filter, doesn’t look as good to me.

They all have that angled surround to seal to the hood
 
wow they are not cheap i think i can make one for that price

That's the same reason I have a painted cheap round cleaner assembly! LOL.

Occasionally I see cheaper fiberglass bases, but not often. I've also very rarely seen used ones for under $500.
 
Just google “Coyote Duster “ air cleaner.
 
I have a nice 69 Coyote duster Single 4 Barrel
Even the Decal is still pretty nice.
Original Paint!
Or I have another nice lid with 4 barrel factory spacing
But 440 Six Pack Decal on top if you would rather have that
top same money.
$495.00

Real Deal OEM not repo and sitting since the early 1970's in my
shop.

FWIW, Some of these may not be real friendly to an Abody with a 2 speed wiper motor. AC can even be an issue. Below is a "shaker " base plate on my 440 six pack. It only needed a small bend to fit under the motor and the rubber seal cutout....

My '72 air grabber 4bbl base plate might need to be notched or possibly do a 3 speed wiper motor swap to fit...

I think Tommycryco makes/has them. And whoever took over Ben Snowbar stuff.
