Default chrome tri-power air cleaners

Hello

I am looking for a set of chrome tri-power air cleaners ("cupcakes") for my 1960 Bonneville (389/tripower/auto). I can find versions for GTOs but nothing listed specifically for early Bonneville. It seems like they would be interchangeable, Does anyone know if there is a difference?

You have to go by the air cleaner base diameter, 1960 cars had a smaller center carb. Ames Performance should have what you need: https://secure.amesperf.com/qilan/Se...cleaner&sort=0
edit: these are the GTO-style air cleaners, are you looking for the type that has a 'helmet' shaped top? Most aftermarket air cleaners have a 2 5/8" diameter base, but some are available also in 2 5/16" Take a look at the Speedway Motors website. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Searc...ke_type:238250

A Tri-Power air cleaner set that’s listed for the ‘64-‘65 GTO would fit your 1960 Tri-Power.
