Does any one have one of these laying around? I am looking for an original. Lots on Ebay, but seems like it's either rotten, Chevy, too old, or really expensive. I believe this one to be a wide snorkel. Thanks!
Have two, Buick style regular cleaners, believe they're off '77-'79 type Buick 350's. Snorkel (regular type, not for an inlet hose) goes to Drivers' or LF side.
That Blue setup is really close. Without the extension, and painted black, that could do the trick. I think the lid is right on.
That looks like an original '76 a/c to me. I've owned at least three different 75/76 455 Electras and this looks the same from memory to me. Do you have a pic of the a/c you're after?
Yup, no problem. I posted a pic on your reply right after the Blue air cleaner post. You are correct. Original AC car, 75 and 76.
Yeah, that pic you posted looks like an earlier model a/c, like maybe 72/73 or so. Is that what's on your car now? Every 75/76 a/c i've ever seen has the air duct hose attached to it.
The one pictured is the air cleaner my first 76 Electra had on it, minus the flexible air duct. I pulled pictures from Google of the 76 Electra variety. It's the same one that was on my second when I got it in 2005, but of course at the time, I threw it way. Stupid kid stuff. Wish I didn't. Neither one had the flex unless it was removed by someone else. The shape is exactly the same though. It did not have the skinny snorkel like posted in the pic attached. I was under the impression early 455s had the skinny snorkel. https://www.volocars.com/vehicles/15087/1976-buick-electra-limited
I see now you are looking for a slightly different housing. I posted without reading all the comments.
This is '70 Le Sabre, car had AC. Yes know it is not what you are after, but shows the "skinny" snorkel. Snorkel goes to the LF or Driver's side. Choke stove elbow is intact.
I had the other half send a message to the owner of the blue setup. Unfortunately it was a dead end. After clicking on the name, it said, "page not found," and no user profile. So I'm not sure about that one.
I believe the air cleaner itself is the same, however I think they have the small snorkel instead of the wider setup. The 350 version might look the same as the picture TexMexGuy posted with the smaller snorkel.
That looks like the guy I'm looking for. Wide snout 14 inch cleaner. All check. Is the top pitted up too bad? What do you get for that? Shipping would be 54023. Thanks!
No the top is just flash rust but I do have another top if need be. Let me check on shipping. Might be after Christmas if that's ok.
