Has anyone ever seen a '68 Charger with an original dual snorkel air cleaner?

[Dans 68]

I picked up a oval dual snorkel air cleaner for my 67 440 hp because it looked correct and had the correct number of ribs and the top will accept the pie pan size.  When I got it home I discovered it had a base for the larger AVS carb throat and not the correct AFB.  Same size and fits either base.  I just always assumed that it came from a 68.  Maybe not.

As I mentioned earlier I have one base of each, with the exact same tops; they look to be exactly the same and probably are the same. What diameter is the AFB throat? (PM me if you want to discuss a trade).

Is the top for a '67? The indent for the A/C is definitely different from the '68. I've not seen a survivor '67 Charger with the 440 to see what air cleaner it came with to tell if it came with the GTX-R/T air cleaner.

This is all interesting information. Let me make a few comments.


I would like to use the pictures from the gold car above on my site if that's ok. I will add some text to explain the two air cleaners and what the theory is.

Please feel free to use those pictures, I am sure that gold original 68, will be helpfull to many peoples questions.

Note in the example posted above that it shows a dual snorkel air cleaner on the Dart GTS 383. This is totally wrong.

All of the picture posted by me, were of 68 Chargers, which picture are you referring to that is a Dart?

Or are you saying, the air cleaner is ''from'' a Dart?

Dan,

I think Nick was referring to the Data Book photo of the dual snorkeled engines, and what was available according to that page.

Yes, I was referring to the data book. Sorry for the confusion.

The best source for information is documented survivor cars and even then there will be variations. Things changed during production and even incorrect parts got on cars while being built.

The 68 parts book is not a lot of help either as it doesn't list specific applications. Plus there are errors in this book too...unless you really do need a single snorkel assembly for your two BBL Road Runner.
