Air cleaners
« on: May 24, 2006, 12:50:08 AM »
We have a 67 SS-350 built in early April 67 however the original air cleaner is long gone. I believe the SS air cleaner had a chrome lid and a decal indicating a 350-295 horse power.
My questions are:
1. Was the air cleaner base the same as the 327 motor or different? 
2. Is the 396-325 hp assembly the same as the 350 or different?

Thanks in advance

Bob

Your air cleaner is round with a single snorkle pointing out toward the driver side of car with the chrome lid. Yes the 327/275hp used the same air cleaner except black lid not chrome. Also their are two types of air cleaners one for CAC emissions (RPO K19) it has two tubes comming out the bottom of the base. The other more common Air cleaner is  the standard set up with with a sealed base (no tubes). Get a 67 assembly manual and check out page 276 (UPC L30 sheet A3) for the standard air cleaner and page 258 (UPC K19 sheet A10) for the emissions one.

Here is a picture of mine which is a stock setup.  This one has the sealed base so I'm using the vented oil filler cap, which is correct.  Crankcase ventilation is from a hose that runs from a fitting behind the intake manifold to the carb with a pcv valve inline.
