Air cleaner housing
 

I bought this housing off of a guy today along with a factory 4 barrel manifold for super cheap. He gave me a bunch of other parts, too. Nice guy. Anyway, can someone tell me what car it likely came from? I’m trying to make the engine compartment look more like stock. I know that this isn’t the one for a ‘67 4 barrel. Those seem to be unobtainium. But I’ll have the stock(ish) intake, a rebuilt quadrajet and maybe this air cleaner. Then we could attach the super rare bracket for factory cruise with a 4 barrel (ours had the 2 barrel originally) and get that going again. The cruise control the final thing to fix on the car. Manifold part number attached and pic of the cruise control to Quadrajet bracket that we scoured the web for a year to find.

Intake, I believe, is 68 or 69.

Air cleaner, couldn’t tell you what car it’s from, but methinks it’s 71 and later vehicle. I think thats when the qjets had the big vent housing on top that went into the corresponding hole in the base.

1972 had a painted lid, I think 1971 was still chrome.

So, to find a filter for it, should I search a 71 GTO on Rock Auto?

It looks like a '70/'71 B-body (& GP?) short single snorkel housing as it has the small hole for the round vent stack on '70 Calif. cars and then '71 all-states. The chrome lid may have come with the 455HO on the B-bodies (North would know for sure) and I believe the filter is the old AC 212 number (like for the GTO's).

My '71 Bonneville came with the same air cleaner except with a black painted lid.

Oh, 1968 intake manifold, btw.

68 if it is a Pontiac. could that be a chevelle assy?

Going by the position of the breather filter hole it’s a Pontiac. Looks to be a 68 GTO unit. Nice score!

Here is the '68 single snorkel air cleaner on GTO's and 428HO's. The snorkel is longer on these and aren't double flared at the snorkel opening like the OP's unit.

Will expand on what Dennis mentioned earlier, the common short snorkel aircleaner in the original post came from one of the following:

-70 Pontiac B series with evap emissions. Not with the 455 XF engine (dual snorkel)
-70 Pontiac GP with evap emissions & 400 4 bbl engine.

Many '70 Federal emission (non evap emission) Pontiac 4 bbl engines also received this exact aircleaner base but with a plastic plug in the evap vent hole.

-71 & 72 Pontiac B series with 400 4bbl engines as well as 455 engines (standard in Grandvilles).
-71 & 72 Pontiac GP's with 400 4bbl engine.

'70-72 GrandPrix SJ's as well as Model J's w optional 455 engine received the dual snorkel aircleaner, same as same year base 400 4bbl GTO & 455 D port GTO.

Last, NO chrome aircleaner lids were installed on Pontiac V8's after the 1970 models.

The above specific chrome aircleaner lid was used from '68-70 on most (but not all) Pontiac 4bbl engines. The chrome plated '67 Pontiac AIR aircleaner lid is a different stamping, shared on some Chevrolet air cleaners.

Suppose the image shows a 67 lid?

Just taking a look at another housing that he gave me, and it appears similar. Found the filter element inside and it seems to fit the first one. It’s 11” ID, 13”OD, and a hair over 3” high. Obsolete part number it appears. I looked at the usual vendors and was surprised to see how inexpensive a new one is.

66sprint6, That looks like a '73-up A & B body 4-bbl air cleaner unit. They also use the AC-212 filter.
