SOLD Trap door style 440 air cleaner

[commando1]

This looks the same as the one on my 1972 Polara cop car (440.)

Welcome. Show us your air cleaner - lol - and your car.

I bought an original '73 Fury police car with 440 that had a breather that looked like that...

What polarus and onemanop sez, I saw something similar on a restored CHP car at a Mopar club show out here in '08

IMO, you should bump up your pricing accordingly, Matt

I'm sorry if I didn't say so upon selling it but it's gone.

 

[M0esy]

D'oh! My fault for the necro-post :icon_neutral:

 

[mr. fix it]

I've seen them before while working as a mechanic ina previous job but can't come close to recalling what it was on..:skeptical:

I have an unrestored/project 74 Coronet Police package with a 360 four barrel from AZ. It has that same trap door air cleaner, on top of its thermo-quad.

Nice looking ride, more photo's please.

 

[detmatt]

You do have some kool chit, don't you!

 

[polara71]

If you're smart enough to master the Thermoquad, you are smart enough to rule the world.

Should I consider myself lucky that I have two thermoquads in my parts cabinet collecting cobwebs? I've never driven on them in fact I don't remember how I got them but everytime I go in there and see them I hear "carb rebuild" project. So is it worth it or not?

They're a religion for some guys. What are the numbers on them?

More like a Satanic Cult.

This style is from 1972 on typically 400 and larger motors in the "Pursuit" package cars. Apparently that was Chryslers answer to dual snorkel air cleaners in 1972.

 

[detmatt]

The second snorkel there when needed...

I had two, one in my first 71 Polara on a 340 I had pulled from a 3 speed 340 duster.
The second I had gotten from a junk yard and put on top of a 400 engine in my first 71 Polara .. the 400 replaced the 340. For those it was merely a matter of turning some screws, never had to take one down, dont wanna

Going inside is a Pandora's box. You can have manuals, tech guides, articles, service procedures, videos, all in front of you. Once you have peeled the third layer off the onion, you in too deep and none of what you have in front of you will bail you out. Then all those posts about Edelbrock from Bob start you rethinking...
