1967 440 in R/T and GTX had chrome valve covers only. Air cleaner was never chrome from the factory. From a 1967 R/T owner.

A popular thing to do, was to cut down the large silenced air cleaner base to the same size as the unsilenced base plate. This way, you could get more air to the filter, but more importantly, you could hear the "waaaaaah" of the carb secondaries when you nailed the gas pedal.

2016 at the Mopar Show near Minneapolis, I saw a original 67R/T auto. Original owner, purchased in California while he was stationed with the Navy. It had chrome valve covers. No other chrome .
Dave from post 22 said the same, so I defer to both of the posts to agree. I know the 426S Wedge had one, just wasn't sure about this one.
I don't think the chrome would even need to be stripped off to refinish it. The chrome doesn't seem to be flaky so IMO it's just like glass beading chrome mirrors, priming and painting them like the factory did...
Not a dual snorkel but 64 426 Wedge had both chrome.

In this c bodies post you can see how similar they are. 13 indentations, dual oval snorkels, pie pans, etc. At a glance they look almost identical but they're taller and have a different base plate. I've found a couple of these on my hunt for a real 67 dual snorkel.

On those imperials, it was a pretty rare option to have the dual snorkel/ dual exhaust pkg. But they weren't an A134 pkg ( magnum code iirc)In this c bodies post you can see how similar they are. 13 indentations, dual oval snorkels, pie pans, etc. At a glance they look almost identical but they're taller and have a different base plate.

The cbodys had a large indent for the hood torsion bars. They're kind of an asshole to get on.

Yes, that’s true but it was revised for 67 to just include chrome valve covers with a painted air cleaner. A few of the early one were even turquoise engine color.
Opps - didn’t see another page of comments already addressing it.

Here’s the one I’m using now. It’s the tall one from your pic in #7 post. Original pie tin to the car, but not the lid.

Looks good. What car are you using it in? I need one for my 67 Coronet but was worried i might not be able to shut the hood due to the extra height.
I have the same air cleaner however mine had the trumpets hacked off before I got it. I ditched the factory base as I felt it retained too much heat around the carb. I bought a Mancini drop base, and was able to use a taller filter and still fit under the hood on my Charger.

Have you registered it with FastbackJon? I think the 67 440 Chargers have the highest survival rate % wise. Have you modified it, looks pretty short from bumper to tire. Maybe it is just my eyes. Nice launch.
