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.....

C'mon Scott, what you are saying is that Chrysler used 100% the right parts no matter what, you know better...

If a 67 GTX has an unsilenced base plate (the smaller diameter unit that leaves a gap between the lid outer diameter and the base plate outer diameter) it was either swapped after the plant built it or it was a (very unlikely) production line mistake.
Missed the my last part of my comment did ya?

And another . I've owned/parted quite a few of these back in the day. All had dual snorkles and never have found one yet with a windage tray as the above publication announced for 4 speed cars. 67's are a breed apart.

While I would normally agree with Scott, I'm going to go ahead and agree with Ralph on this one. The first time someone told me they had the "4 speed air cleaner" on their '67 GTX I thought they were mistaken. However after hearing from several others that 4 speed cars came with unsilenced air cleaners with no snorkels I began to wonder.
My buddy Phil bought his '67 GTX brand new. PP1 red, black stripes, convertible, 4 speed, and it came with an un-silenced air cleaner. Could he be lying to me? Of course, but he has no reason to. I'll see if he has a picture of the engine when it was new lying around anywhere.
Not an early car either, he ordered it around February or March of '67. Pretty rare car too with the 4 speed being a vert.
Early on it was advertised that 4 speed cars were supposed to come with a special cam, same lift but 276/292 duration (sound familiar? If not read the early A12 adds) and was supposed to be rated at 390 horsepower. I didn't believe that either but Phil showed me the ad he had that was clearly advertising so.
