Can you post on here the pictures of your Uncle's Dodge?

---

I would love to post the picture , but my knowledge of how to is limited on the computer. I have a hp officejet6110 all in one and have a satillite system. Hughsnet. I have tried before and failed to post a picture on this site before. Can anybody help me out? I just took a couple of the pictures of the pictures of the engine compartment and it is now in "My Documents". What's next?

---

If you can send me the pic (s) I would be happy to post them for you.
On the air cleaner lids, lets all be nice please. It's no big deal and Scott is for sure the expert here. If I was going to show the car I would have done the resto in black also, regardless. As was said, it's been a loooong time since I owned that car - - AND I WANT IT BACK! BTW, I did find some 8 mm movies of that car that I took (some of the engine with orange lids). No date though and it was later in my ownership cause the car had fenderwell exit headers on it at that time.

---

Crizilla, I will get the engine compartment picture professionally copied , and send it to you by snail mail if you like. PM me an address you want it shipped to. One interesting thing that I noticed on this 63 Dodge was the cut bracing on this steel hood. It is cut like my aluminum hood. Were all steel hoods cut for the air cleaner clearance?

Wow I can't believe all this smack talk about "what's the correct color of a max wedge air cleaner originally", really.

You say potatoe, I say.... lets work the whole thing out...



I've got the 1962 magazine with the orange covers on a 413 too.. So we know at least one set was out there.

Even if he does post a pic from a magazine it's not going to prove they were ever built that way from the factory as regular production vehicles. Most magazine test cars were pilot cars, many of which had modifications and parts details (not all mods were made at the factory, but rather by the magazines or dealers that recieved them) that never made it into production.....Then there's the fact that he's talking about 1962 car, not a 63.

Here’s a good example of a production engine with parts that never made it onto a production car. Going strictly by the picture, you’d think the manifolds were on every Stage III car built.

With all this talk about what color the air cleaners were on a max wedge, I dug out the pictures of my uncles new 63 Dodge Max Wedge, and the border on the picture is dated JUN > 63, and that is when it was developed, not when it was taken. His air cleaners are chrome--intake is aluminum--battery in front. You can see how all the heater hoses , choke cable etc. etc. are ran. It's a cool picture that I have kept in the drawer for years.

I still can't believe this is still a topic.We have seen these in orange,black,chrome,non painted and even a set painted gold shipped from the factory on cars and to dealer parts rooms.As always with Chrysler you can expect anything on any given day,ie:Documented Hemi cars with no torque boxes and many other oddities.While working at a dealership in the 60s I ordered a dressup kit from Chrysler that comprised of chrome aircleaners,valvecover kit, and breathers"What say all the Gurus now"

---

Upon request, I just posted the pic for him.

Thank you,I'am no expert or Guru,but still am of sound mind and remember things I see and touch.For a long time I had a set of orange ones that came off of Jim Ross's 63 Ply Maxwedge"Rumcharger" from Washington Pa. and a set of gold ones that came on my 62 413MW in the attic,they were given to NOS Jim,he may still have them.The Aluminium front 63 Dodge(Southern Comfort) I owned was the one that I bought the chrome ones for when I worked at HaynesSmith Dodge in Marion Illinois back in my youth.

Thanks for posting that! For a while there I was starting to second guess myself re; the - from the factory - orange air cleaner lids on my 63. At least one other person has owned a pair. I think I said that I have some old super8 film of my 63 engine with the orange lids - installed with the decals pointing towards the firewall.

Every now and then we common folks fire a shot at a lord or king and "BAM"we hit them right between the eyeballs. I can get a few others from the old days that owned and raced these car to and they can varify this,Tony G.where are you? he's older than me.Recently he reminded me that I once had a WO Dodge that I forgot about.
