I know these are rare and hard to come by. If you have one for sale please let me know.

Is this for a small block? Chromish finish. Has square holes all the way around the lower portion of the air cleaner. I have the original top lid for this aircleaner too.
Thanks, Grant

The part I need is a big block only part for 1966 (maybe part of 65 as well, but I am not sure). Thanks.

1965 L78 or 1966 L72 use the same air-cleaner base. They are difficult to find without the hump at the 10 o-clock position. There have been a couple on ebay in the last month. I have pictures if you need them.

The first photo is correct (w/carb), no hump below the spark arrestor. The second photo is typically what you will find, but is incorrect for L78 & L72, notice the hump near the spark arrestor.

Dave,

Do you think you have the one I asked about in the original post or the one Grant discussed in the second post. If it is the first one I will give you a call.

Thanks,

Larry
