1970 OEM 6pack air cleaner

Anyone have photos and what is the differance from OEM to repop., base and lid? Non fresh air

whats available new is directly from chrysler , always has been available so i wouldn't necessarily consider it a repop , differences though ???

Other than the "Made in Canada" and the pt.# stamping on the base,no difference.All done with the original tooling.

Over 10 years ago when they came back out with the 3418717 6 pack aircleaner that was NS-1, they were produced with the original Fram tooling that was re-activated.
These were pretty rough pieces especially the lids which had edges that would almost be considered jagged.
I was told that tooling was retired to Versitube because it needed too much maintenance to continue.
Dont know if it was refurbished and used again for the current offering but I do know there are differences in where the front shield is spotwelded on as compared to the originals.
Also first run originals on all production cars were enamel right over bare steel with the Made in Canada and part number. The current ones are powder coated and as mentioned dont carry the stampings.
No good old orange peel like the originals.

Unless they were retooled again after 1971, the MP base has one very significant difference that sets it apart from an OEM part. The notch in the base.... original parts have a small notch on the front just to passenger side, the MP piece has an even larger notch towards the driver's side of the car. I assume so it can clear a small block upper radiator hose, despite having never been originally offered on a small block car.
