Hey guys, I gotta new Air cleaner for my 4 bbl
upgrade on my 318.

its an orange one off of a 72 340.

Is this color one of the Mopar performance spray
bombs? i.e hemi orange engine enamel?
or is it something else?

If you were to restore it what color would you
paint it....

Please chime in if you've done this

Thanks!
