Repopped 340 air cleaner

[ESP47]

Anyone know if these repopped air cleaners are of decent quality? Should be getting my 340 back from the shop here soon and am going to be in need of one. They're priced about $100 cheaper than what I see on ebay so I figured I'd give it a shot if they aren't made out of a soda can.

Mancini has them for $60 less than Classic Industries. Not 100% sure on the quality but the ones I've seen look good. http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/mablwrfiwibr.html

That assembly can be found for 70-100 if you look around. I sold a few of them. It's not the 70-71 air cleaner which usually gets 250+

Right on, you guys just saved me a lot of money. Thanks!

Hi! I just received one from Mancini along with the pie pan ID (in red) and it looks fine to me.
Take care.

Hey AdamR, remember when we would take them off (When the cars were practically new) and put a cheap *** chrome one on and throw the factory one away ? If we only knew.........

No I dont. They stopped using them from the factory 9 years before I was born. I do remember buying one for my 69 Road Runner in 1996 when I was 18 and paying around $30 for it though. I also remember looking to buy one in 2008 for my Scamp and nearly choking at the price.

dang i must be a pup ....i have never seen them that low ....i just accepted the fact that are expensive and i have to have a factory cleaner or nothing.

 

[ESP47]

I'm 28 so I don't remember when they were that cheap. Well they probably were back when I first got my Duster 10 years ago but I was only able to afford slant six stuff so I never bothered to even pay attention.

Right on AlV, it looks good and sounds like the quality isn't sub par. I'll probably be picking one up here real soon.

isn't that the truth. i bought one back then. they doubled in price in what seemed like overnight.

I also remember just in 2002 when I bought my Diesel truck, diesel was 1.00 gallon. Things chanced.

 

[d5667]

I remember 5 cent cokes and ten cent hamburgers.and I also remember seeing mills

 

[AdamR]

I remember $1.80 for a pack of smokes and $1.00 for a gallon of gas. All about the same time as the $30 air cleaner. Yes **** goes up, doesnt mean I have to like it. LOL

 

[Darter6]

OK, cut it out ! I'm feeling really old now. When I worked at a gas station way back when gas was .23 cents and the buying public complained. and that was for preimum ! In 1974 I bought a 340 4 speed Duster off a dealers lot for $800 bucks !
Opps! getting off subject........

 

[AdamR]

I remember when Mc Donalds dollar menu had items on it for $1 and everything in the dollar store actually cost.... yup you guessed it $1

 

[caferacerx]

I remember using a dollar to buy something, and getting change back
now when I buy something for a dollar, it cost's $1.06?

 

[AdamR]

Funny, I buy lunch at work, Give the guys $40 and dont get any change back.

 

[johnnycuda]

Hmm, my dollar store has stuff for a buck?
Will that there set up fit under a stock hood with an air gap intake?
Also will it fit over a proform, holley or an edelbrock carb ?

No!

 

[odie601]

In the mid 80's I paid $2,500 for a running 1970 'cuda 440-6 Barrel 4-speed Vitamin C with no rust. She was sitting by a stack of hay bails. lol Little rubbing compound is all she needed. Second biggest mistake I did was sell her. The first was selling my 1970 AAR 'cuda. :banghead:
