    Isn't that pretty! I just really like how that looks all together.

    I was really hoping for the stock 14", but if I can't find it in a week or two, I'll certainly be back to buy yours.

    Thank you for the offer!

    PS: Is that a PCV valve in the 2nd pic?

    Truthfully I don’t know if that’s a PVC fitting or not I bought an NOS 14” unit and gifted it to Ryan Craig for his “3’s the charm car” & also bought this one it’s so cool too.
    I am just getting rid of stuff,paid $100 plus shipping so just finding it a good home before I wave the white hoarding flag.

    My 455 really needs the 14" version air cleaner for performance, but I would still like to make the purchase for the 10" version so I can also get the "Tri-Shield" wing nut (I can't find one of those either)...

    You mentioned USPS money order or cash...Possibly PayPal, Zelle or anything that doesn't have me leaving the house?

    When you get one, don’t run the wing nut regularly, just use it for show. The emblem will fade and turn opaque from the heat.

    I'm currently running the 14" one I got from a board member last November.

    They're out there. Just be diligent.

    Oh, I'm still on the lookout for the 14" version!

    I have overturned every stone I have heard of from Summit, Jegs, GM Performance, YearOne, old Buick parts, ebay, every bay, even 14 pages deep on the inter-webs thing called Googles, etc. No luck - but my fingers are crossed.

    BTW, do you run a PCV valve with your motor above?

    I do.

    The hose runs from the back of the intake to the front of the carb, along the passenger side.

    Why do you use it (with a high performance engine)?

    Do you feel the PCV check valve helps reduce blow-by pressure enough to make a difference? Or do you run it strictly for local emissions control?

    Shouldn't a valve cover filter allow blow-by gasses to be expelled?

    I use it (basically) because it's there and I didn't feel like putting a hole in the base of the chrome unit.

    The breather is there because I needed something to replace the hose. As far as I'm concerned, it's fine.
