Air cleaner housing application.

[commando1]

Mrmopar66 has for sale the following housing.

It would be discourtious to hijack a For Sale thread so I brought it over here to ask The Best and the Brightest.

The above housing doesn't have the indentation to clear the A/C compressor like the single snorkel.

Will the above shown still fit an A/C equipped engine?

Just satisfying a curiosity.

Which also leads to the question, was a motor home compressor mounted differently than a passenger car? I can't remember ever seeing one mounted on a 440 other than top left of engine.

 

[65Fury440]

Did the motor home engine maybe use a spacer?

You guys are missing the point.
Forget about the fact that this housing was on a MH.

Was the housing, pictured in the first post , when it was used on, let's say a 1970 Chrysler 300 with a 440, if that 440 Chrysler 300 was equipped with A/C?

Try here. There may well be a description of what you have and what it will fit.

Been going there for years. Doesn't have the info I asked about.

 

[65Fury440]

I would say no. The housing in question has the air inlets at 5 and 7 oclockish. The passenger car is more like 4 and 8 oclock.

I am no expert on air cleaners. However, my gut feeling tells me the reduced angle between the snorkels would probably pose a problem clearing the A/C hose that comes out the rear of the compressor.

I think you guys make a good point. Thanks.
Most likely not as you both noted.

I think you guys make a good point. Thanks.
Most like not as you both noted.

I thought you were asking to educate us? Oh , wait, I see what you did. Very classy of you to start another thread, and not poop on the OP's thread.

 

[commando1]

Yes. New thread because I feel stomping on someone's For Sale post is rude.
Better to ask in a new thread.
All other threads are fair game, tho....

I'll give him until next week...

The big block dual snorkel from a Motorhome that I have has an indent for the A/C compressor.

I can check fitment on the '67 440 in out 300 with one of those air cleaners if you would like. We have several of them in the air cleaner stacks. They were also used on industrial engines as well as motor homes. I have seen them sell for $100 in excellent condition.

My '76 440 w/A.C. is gasping for breath trying to suck in thru one nostril...

I guess you'll have to borrow Ross' sawzall to make it fit....

Or turn the pie pan upside down.

I refuse to do that. It's what 16 YO would do and it looks it.
I'll put a crying doll leaning on the front bumper first...
