I found an air cleaner here on fabo and it's a one year only 1974 odd/even snorkel with an OSAC valve on it.

probably my most favorite part I have ever bought on FABO ....I have even slept while hugging it because I have yet to ever see another one like it.

this is the ad pic ...since then I have added the missing vacuum pod and cleaned it up so it I can have it in my bedroom.

Now I found the correct 1974 TQ carb it goes to and I found a date coded 1974 intake, so I want to put them together and keep them on a shelf as a matched set ....which is why I need the correct bolts :D

Rani I am not sure that is the best way to have a wedding of your own.

I like it. And without taking this to the blue room, I've done a lot of kinky things. Car parts in bed well. No. Then again I remember something about a grease gun filled with strawberry jam. Time for me to go.
 
Just finished pretrip inspection on my borrowed trailer. Guy had the brakes wired all dicked up. Didnt work, shoes in wrong position on one side.. Fixed that, checked and added grease to all the hub bearings.. torgued all the lug nuts, adjusted tire pressures. Now to load up the ice chest, pack road munchies, inject ****** and be ready to roll. This is gonna be a long trip...
 
Do you want to know why it has different length snorkels and at that particular angle?

It's so that the longer heat riser side (driver's side) could capture the heat off the exhaust manifold for warm-up induction and yet extend past the front of the exhaust manifold to pull cooler air once the warm-up flap was open. The passenger side was shorter because it only needed to extend past the front of the exhaust manifold on that side.

Those air cleaners had specific geometry for the engine and engine compartment in which they were fitted. It's also why the later ones had a wider angle between the snorkels.

since there is so little info on this unit ...I assumed it was a cop car thing ??? maybe and I figured the shorter snorkel was shorter to avoid the AC compressor and/or distributor.

I know it was on 400 or 440 only.

I presume maybe a dodge Monaco cop car ??? maybe an HP B-body with A/c

I also have one with wider snorkels from a 77 cop car but why the one with the snorkels closer was one year only ????

the wider snorkel unit is much more common

Have fun! And if you get sleepy, roll the windows DOWN and turn the stereo UP! :D

Evening guys!

Have a safe trip. Drive careful, and if you get sleepy pull over and take a 20 min. snooze.
