Ramcharger Aircleaner source???

[AKcharger]

Is there a source for fresh air cleaners (4bbl) for my '72 Ramcharger hood or do I need to pay through the nose for the ones that occasionally pop up on ebay? also any difference between B & RB engines?

As I collect pieces for the '72's hood the Air cleaner looms as an issue.

Thanks

Oval or round?

[AKcharger]

The base is oval but I've seen round AND oval top covers for the 4bbl...not sure which one is correct for a '72

[Ghoste]

I thought they were round.  I also thought someone was reproducing them, what kind of pricing are you seeing on e bay?

[AKcharger]

The base and top is offered by Classic industries for 6 packs but I haven't see the 4 bbl versions. Prices go from $150-600 it's all over the place

..wait, if Nicks garage (http://www.nicksgarage.com/aircleaner.htm) is to be trusted I have my answer, the baseplates are different B to RB and the aircleaner top is round

Do BEA as well?  I thought they did.

That's it! Cool...I'm going to have to go to web search school, all I could turn up was one for 6 packs

Thanks

OK I can get a Steel repro base and lid for $300 or I can get a fiberglass base and steel lid for $170...anyone think there's a big difference between steel and fiberglass???



Oh and BEA has some parts but not the air cleaner, PG and year one are only sources I could find

Some of the fiberglass bases don't have the lips for the seals.  Don't know about the repo steel ones.

[Ghoste]

I don't know if there is much difference.  Would glass warp, would steel retain more heat?  Me being the way I am I would likely get steel but for anyone else?

I'd go with the steel more durable an all that
