1967 Dual Snorkel Air cleaner

[stephenlkarp]

So I know (I believe) this is a 1967 Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner. But it looks to be chrome. Did they make one in chrome ?

did you look here? Nick's Garage - Air Cleaner Identification

They (Chrysler Corp) didn't make them in chrome.
We don't need nicks garage to tell us this fact.

looks like the real deal, but someone had it chromed

 

[stephenlkarp]

I assume someone stripped black paint and this was underneath.

 

[R413]

Actually they are coated under the paint so they won't rust. If you strip the paint with stripper and nothing abrasive they look like they are galvanized.

Yes it looks like a 67 440 HP unit.

What is the height of it? 68 c bodies had an identical looking air cleaner but it was taller and had a different base plate. I believe 67's were 3 3/8" and the others were more like 4" tall.

[stephenlkarp]

Just curious...Not for sale but just wondering what it's worth??

 

[RemCharger]

What's it cost to strip the chrome off?

Anywhere from $400 - $2K. $2k being the dreamers waiting for a sucker on ebay.

 

[stephenlkarp]

Welll I just figured out I have the wrong base for it. Here you see the base laying inside the cover
Anyone have a base??

According to two of my books, the 1967 440 came standard with the "Chrome Engine Dress-Up" package. Do not strip off the chrome

The chrome dress up package was the valve covers.

The chrome dress up package was the valve covers.

My 426W came with the Engine "Chrome Dress-Up" package, and it was valve covers AND air cleaner and metal PCV outer shield. Not saying the '67 did until I actually find proof, but an "Engine" will usually include all three pieces.

I don't believe that the 68 C Body was identical looking. The C Body lid has a different indentation on the top and would not fit the B Body HP pie tins. The tall one pictured fits the hp pie tin.
