    Up for sale is a nicely refurbished Turbo Regal air cleaner assembly. Although this red version is correct for '78-'80 model years, it will fit any carb'd Turbo Regal (I've also seen one mounted on a Buick 350, and think it would be KILLER on a rat rod or hot rod). I recently stripped, epoxy primered, and repainted (in Rust-Oleum Regal Red) the entire assembly. It's not perfect, but certainly is excellent + driver quality. The few small pieces shown in the last pic are included, but you might need a few brackets and/or bits of hardware to install. I'm asking $75/shipped.

    PS- The Quadrajet shown is NOT included.

    Interested, could you measure the distance form the center of the carb hat to the beginning of the air cleaner, I am wanting to use this on a 65GS. I know I need an adaptor for the AFB, but wondering if the air cleaner hose will reach the pass front fender well for mounting, GS has the battery on the driver side, thanks Bill.

    With a tape measure laying flat, the carb hat center to the back side of the air cleaner/filter box is around 22". The length from carb hat center to air cleaner opening is about 30".

    Another option for something like you're describing would be using a flexible intake hose/pipe instead of the molded plastic (I think it'd be 3" diameter hose, but I'd have to verify that).

    Thanks for measuring the assembly. I need more length and what I need to look for is just the hat not the complete set up. I am going to pass, It is to nice a piece to not use as is. I will look for just the had, thanks Bill.
