Mine uses a clamp on to the carb baseplate with the air cleaner stub attached to the baseplate, because it is a 65. In 66 and up the put the air cleaner stud onto the carb itself with a wire bail so all the air cleaner assembly pulled down tight to the carb.

Ya, go ahead and give me a big red X. I haven't seen one of these before this thread and I said it could happen!
Prior to this one, neither had I. I posted the question on a Facebook page a few weeks ago and got similar responses. We all learn something new everyday. Up until I got this one, all I had ever seen was the snorkel type and the 4 bbl Commando.

This has always intrigued me because at first it was the normal one, but the first time a guru saw my car (1985) and said that ain't original got me going.
I have never doubted its originality but could never explain why my car had it.

Most experts / gurus are not. You are good, my 66 has a 65 washer bottle. Never say never with Ma Mopar. I have seen all kinds of things that never existed.

I have already exchanged multiple emails with him on this.
The cover, 1962-66 361, 383 and 413 4-Barrel but has 4-bbl base.
Chrome, 4-bbl, 1965-67 273 4-Barrel
No reference to the unsilenced 2-bbl base for this cover, it was new to him, no idea what applications may have had it.
