One of our Midwest Firebirds club members is looking for an original '67 326HO air cleaner. Here is his description of the one he is looking for: "I have a 67 326 4 barrel carb in need of the original H.O. air cleaner, as such looks as original 2 barrel air cleaner, but the snorkel out of air cleaner is oval and flatter in appearance not tubular as in the 2 barrel snorkel." "If you were to google 67 firebird H.O. one should be able to see the original type that I require. Not an easy one to find, not flat chrome pancake type as in 400 engine."
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice! HEMI is amazing! 1998 Silverado Z71 - Father-daughter project 1968 400 coupe - R/A clone (Blue Pearl) (sold) 1967 326 convertible - Sold 1980 T/A SE Bandit - Sold
Just going to say that 'google an image of this search and you should/could/might/ be able to find what I'm looking for' is a pain. Rant over; not at you Jim, just the requestor you posted up for. Is there a consensus on the 67 326 4 barrel air filter? Google images doesn't quickly return a decisive picture. Anybody care to post the RIGHT pic? I may have one.
[quote=fire]Ok guys.
In 1967- there were 6 different (part numbers) air cleaners that were used for the birds with a 4bbl 326 engine.................. There were 6 differing engine applications- and 6 differing air cleaners (part numbers)
There were also 5 different (part numbers) air cleaners that were used for the birds with a 4bbl 400 engine.................... There were 6 differing applications- however only 5 differing air cleaners (part numbers)
I have not included 67 birds with a 2bbl application above.
Good point mope. Our Midwest Firebirds president sent us a recent email with this picture from HPP to show what the 326HO owner is looking for:
If the HD option on the '67 326HO is like the one for the '68 400's, the part numbers only meant a different sticker on the outside to show the HD filter element with the foam wrap. The other part numbers options for different emissions requirements might be plumbing differences?????
