1968 289 Air Cleaner Assembly
« on: December 13, 2022, 12:22:40 AM »
I just bought a 68 Sprint B (289-2V) and it came with an earlier 65 air cleaner on it. I am looking for the proper 68 air cleaner assembly (base,lid, snorkel). Driver quality is fine with me.

Thanks,
Dan

There is an early and late version of the snorkels. Vacuum operated trap door early, and thermal operated door late. Not sure of exact cutoff.

I'd be curious what is correct.  My April 68 build date Sprint B has the vacuum operating trap door.
