    Anybody know if one of those nifty 455 aircleaners will fit a 430? I'm assuming they fit under the hood of a '68 Riviera no problem, unless the GS frame held the motor a little lower w/ the 455s that had the star wars cleaners? Know where I could find one, or alternatively, a wrap-around air cleaner?

    Those air cleaners originally came on 1967 GS400s and 1967 Riviera GSs (430 motor).

    They never came on a 455.

    Thanks, Marco...I thought the Riv GSs had 455s...guess not. I thought I heard somebody was making reproductions of those aircleaners...happen to know who?

    Yeah tell me about it....I almost paid $400 for a nice complete unit on ebay and I only really need the knob. I would have taken the whole thing and then sold the one I have.
    I suppose I could raise my bid again, but then again I only need the knob.
