What is the difference in a 67 GTX / R/T air cleaner and one used on a 67 C body 440 ??. The one I have the lid measures about 3 1/2 inches. I have had if about 30 years and was kinda thinking it came off of a C body wagon that I pulled a 440 from.

Easy way to distinguise for reference, is that you'll find that on a C-body you cannot use the pie pan...center dome area is too tall.



Actually incorrect again... The only C-body dual snorkel air cleaner came on the TNT package, which had a pie tin. The diameter is the same.
As stated above the only difference between the B and C body is the height. C body is higher.

Also, no unsilenced air cleaners on 67 440 GTX's or R/Ts.. Ever.. lol..



I had a similar discussion regarding air cleaners over at FBBO regarding the original one that came off my 66 Charger and you may want to take a look at the thread there. According to some original owners they were using the unsilenced air cleaner on big blocks earlier than 1967 models. See link below and you have to read into the thread for a ways as it started as a for sale ad.

The orignal question was for R/T's and GTX's... NOT big blocks or chargers .....



Yeah, well, understand this. The point is that things happened back in the day and they did not stop the production line because they were out of the air cleaner that was USUALLY installed so it would get what would fit. They could care less if it is making you scratch your head 40+ years later.

This is why there are always arguements from original owners about what was right and what is wrong because they never changed anything on their cars, but people think it is wrong because it does not match the norm. If it came from the factory that way then it is "as delivered." That doesn't necessarily mean that is the way the factory "intended" to send it out.

AND, if they were using the small un-silenced air cleaner in 66 what makes you think they didn't pop a few of them on the 67 GTX/R/Ts?

My comments ARE relative to this subject.
