I bought a 70 RR...383 air grabber car last year and it came with a K&N air filter.I just bought a fram filter for it today which is the stock equivalent but it's about 1 1/2 inches taller than the K&N and of course now my hood won't close.My buddy that has the same car (no he isn't in town right now to measure the height of his) says I probably have a 440 baseplate.Can anyone tell me the depth from the cross- member on the 383 baseplate to the bottom?I think I'm sitting here with a 440 piece...this after I just restored it,primed,sanded and painted it...help!



You may have the wrong filter , a stock filter height is barely 3" and the 440 base is SHORTER than a 383 base because the 440 is taller than a 383 . You can put a 440 air cleaner on a 383 and close the hood , but you can't put a 383 base on a 440 without having an issue .

What intake do you have ?
