I have a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda and it has a 273 2-barrel with the clean air package. I am restoring the air cleaner which had two stickers on it originally. A white clean air package decal placed next to a "mopar do not wash or oil" decal. I didn't document which "Mopar do not wash or oil sticker" I originally had before I started to repaint the air cleaner.

Will this decal from year one work?

1966-74 A B E-Body Air Cleaner Service Instruction Decal... (yearone.com)

It states specifically, "1967 273/318 2-bbl without Cleaner Air Package".

I am just assuming that I use this decal and then place my Clean Air Package decal onto the air cleaner right beside this "Mopar do not wash or oil" decal available from year one.

Any info or advice helps.

Red/yellow sticker is same as our 67 barracuda 273 Commando.
DMT or someone else besides the Year None crooks should have it.
 
I have been on the hunt for the same stickers for a while now. The thing about the red and yellow I keep finding is that the pn for the air filter does not match the pn listed in the parts book.
 
My 67 Barracuda never had that white and green decal. Neither did either of the two 67 Valiants that I had, All three CAP cars.

I cannot comment on what the correct decal for your would be as my car had an unsilenced air cleaner.

That label on the right inner fender is not factory (unless it is an AC thing).
Is this a factory CAP car or a retrofit?

A factory CAP car would have the E-1 code on the data plate.

I read up on your posts from a search on this forum before making my post and it was quite helpful. So basically the only "Do not wash or oil" available to buy for our applications do not have the correct air filter part number on them for our 1967 273 2 barrel CAP optioned cars?

Performance car graphics is temporarily closed and they have a decal listed for our application and it appears to be the same decal available from year one except that it states "Made in Canada" on it. Performance car graphics does not say (except 1967 clean air package) and I would have to call year one to confirm the size of their "do not wash or oil" decal.

My original "do not wash or oil" decal was 2.75 inches wide and this matches up with the decal listed for sale on the Performance Car Graphics website

So I happened to stumble upon some photographs of my air cleaner prior to painting it. It is pictured here with a 1970 air cleaner lid as my original 1967 lid has a hole drilled into it. Here you can see where the decals were originally positioned. I did take measurement photos of where the decals were originally positioned prior to stripping the paint off of this air cleaner.

From my brief memory I want to say that my "do not was or oil" decal looked the decal I uploaded here and it is unknown to me whether it stated made in Canada or not as I could only see the top part of the decal from my eyesight.

Some other decals have a part number listed to the right of the Mopar "M" logo on the top of the decal and mine did not have that as best that I can recall.

The white label next to the A/C lines on the inner fender is a sticker from the after market ignition coil.

I misplaced my fender tag but when I do locate it I will confirm if it says E1 which I think it says that on there.

My 67 dart is E-1, has the CAP carb tag, and CAP dist., There is evidence on the air cleaner of 2 decals at one time.

Interesting note on PCG website about the wrap around on the element

After, I cleaned out the inside of my snorkel with a wire brush to paint my air cleaner I wouldn't doubt that a filter wrap would be effective if not necessary. I know K&N has a filter wrap for the 14 x 3 inch aftermarket air cleaners.
 
Here are some photographs of my air cleaner after it was stripped to metal and primered. I used Mopar engine paint gloss black. For the best results you can set a chair on a table upside down and stick the chair leg in the snorkle from the inside hole of the air cleaner and you can paint the entire exterior of the base of this air cleaner without having to flip it upside down then let the paint dry and flip it up again to paint it.

I will post more progress pictures as I go. From now it looks like I will just order the do not wash or oil decal from year one. I will wait a couple days.
