Those air cleaners are very hard to find and expensive. Here is a suggestion, if you want a 67 style cheap. That same style is a lot easier to find in a single or a dual snorkle version. I have cut the snorkles off and welded patches in and body work finished them down so that you cannot tell the modification unless you take it off and inspect it. A word of caution there are two styles. One has a higher center dome and a pie pan won't fit. They are of course more common at swap meets but no good. The low center ones are harder to find but I see them occasionally. I have done three of them this way and they look great. The last one I did for a 67 big block barracuda I had about 50 bucks in and some time.

My 68 383 formula S has the small diameter air cleaner & think it was a mid yr production #.

I'm going to try revive a post I started last year. Since you helped me determine which air cleaner I need, I would now like to know which base is correct for my car. Car is a 68 Barracuda with a SPD of November 7th 1967. I have found two that are for sale, but they both have different bases. I looked online to see which was the correct base and found a third base. Could someone tell me which one is correct?

Thanks,
Craig

Dan, Thanks for posting your pictures.

Nick, Thanks for pointing out the difference in the cover. I somehow missed that.

By the way, my own '68 383 Barracuda is an earlier one with the Inland shifter but I don't know what air cleaner it came with. It had none at all. I actually bought this air cleaner at a swap meet before I had the car because I was going to use it on my '64 Polara 383 Power-Pak. I had it chromed to look like a 426 wedge air cleaner.
