I imagine that the 1962 one was the typical small round unsilenced one like on other 4-bbl engines that year but what are other ones? My Fram filter book is hard to judge by because they lump a lot of engines together. Also, were there 318 4-bbl engines in trucks?

The 395 is the torque figure of the engine, not the cubic inch. Sure must have been confusing to everyone back in the day, and even today. 7080701-GoldenCommandoAirCleaners001(Small).JPG (54 downloads) RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

And the Weiand 7503 sells for about the same or actually a little less. So if you have a bunch of'em you can get rich, just send me one for the tip! R. (ND native)

Must have been frustrating being a parts guy and arguing with people over what size engine they had. I know with my 440 Wagon peoeple get confused when I say it has a 318 so instead I ask for parts for a Polara. As for those air cleaners, they're pretty cool. From what I can tell, only Plymouth used the decal. The Dodge version used mostly on police cars were blank.
