I need just the base plate for a '68/'69 unsilenced air cleaner and I called a few vendors of the reproduction version and they don't sell the base by itself. I called Mopar Performance and they suggested maybe Yr1 but I don't have a current catalog and couldn't find anything on line. I just need a source for the base plate, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(just the silver base plate)

Thanks again.

Mike if it is the same diameter as a Max Wedge Kramer sells the bases for those.

Yes John he has small afb 3447 or 3705 large afb,avs. And all this hinges on whether they are the same diameter and filter size.

I don't think you are going to find anyone just selling the base new. I'm almost sure the MW has a small air cleaner element and base.

You may find someone that put the Ford Motorsport drop base on their unsilenced air cleaner and wants to sell thier old base. IMHO, that's the best bet.

Or, I think you could just take a single snorkle 4bbl air cleaner that takes the same air cleaner element and... everything off but the base.

I didn't know the 3705 had the large AVS size carb throat, I didn't even know there was an original AFB with the large throat.

I had a feeling that would have been the answer.
