Post by: Harris Speedster on July 19, 2019, 01:29:25 PM
Guys,
I know that somewhere herein SAAC, there are pictures of original air cleaner elements.
I have searched numerous ways, but have been having no luck.

Does anybody have a link by chance?
Thanks,
john

Ed,
Found more interesting items in Coopers 45 year + collection of parts.
gt 500 dual four air cleaner, ?
has a faint Ford logo in round oval wrap. this is stenciled on the inside screen door type wire mesh, not the outside larger wire mesh
Wide open wire mesh on outside element
paper filter is a vanilla color
rubber is black
"Top " printed in white lettering on the black rubber, letters maybe 1/2 inch tall.

No numbers that I can find.
NOS unit
What si your opinion Ed?
John

Thats correct original but how tall is element as that depends on which car it came on?

Ed,
As close as I can measure with a normal tape measure, 1 3/4 inches tall.

Thanks for helping me out Ed.
