I've come across this air cleaner assembly, but am not sure exactly what year(s) it might originally be from.
Thanks for any help!

There's something on Nick's garage. I think you can do a search and he's got images of all the different air cleaners.

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

Actually doesn't show that one on Nick's site.
It is what WAS on my 67 2bbl when I purchased it, so I'd say 65 to 67 2bbl big block. 1968 383 only as oval was 440 in 68 (I believe).

Thanks for the replies. I found that with the spacer under my carb, it won't allow the hood to close, so it's a shame I can't use it with this setup. It fits on the Holley 750, but is too tall.
Thanks!

Oval air cleaner came out in 1969 first year.

GTX, I can't argue on that point as this seems to be another one of those elusive questions like what color was the grille emblem on first gens.
However here is what I have been able to uncover. From the parts books here are the numbers (only listing w dual snorkel):
1967 - 383 w/dual snorkel -2658891
1967 - 440 w/dual snorkel -2843069
1968 - 383 w/dual snorkel -2863307
1968 - 440 w/dual snorkel -2899133
1969 - 383/440 w/dual snorkel -2946159
Now clearly there may be minor differences like the indent in the front or maybe paint ... could the difference between 68/69 be the crinkle paint?
It is difficult to find and "correct" pictures of these according to part numbers and the Nick's site is not 100% conclusive as far as I am concerned but it is interesting to hear what others have to say.
Back to the original question and picture, I can say for certain it is correct for 1967, 2bbl 383. My  :Twocents:
