64 HiPo - 67 Shelby Hipo Air Cleaner Base
Bossbill:
Edit to remove Mannel pic and (to retain author's copyright). Added a CCM pic.
I have an air cleaner base plate which is evidently incorrect for my 67 GT350.
The 64 Hipo and early 65 non-emission base evidently has no nipples at all, just two indentations where a small and large nipple would go.
I have this base. It does not have a date stamp.
NOT MY BASE, but appears to be identical to what I have:
The 67 base is [on edit] supposed to have only a small nipple.
I plan on purchasing a Drake reproduction of this air cleaner as it supposed to be almost dead on correct. Opinions?
I understand the 67 GT350 non-emission install would have a rubber cap and spring clamp. Please note my car's build date in my sig if this is another early, middle, late Ford/SA issue.
Was the 'C' base ever reproduced? If so, is there a way to determine if original or reproduction -- is there a detail or weight difference?
I keep hearing about 5A bases but don't hear much about other dates. How many (date) runs were there in 65 ? I gather the 67 base would also have a date and should be 7A (or earlier for my car) if there was a batch done in that time frame.
So many details for such a small part!

The 64 Hipo and early 65 non-emission base is shown in pic C.
I have this base. It does not have a date stamp.
The 67 base is shown as [partial] pic D.

Nether style is assemblyline correct for your 67 GT350 regardless of if putting a cap on it or not . They will function as needed but not look right . The Base you need instead of the larger nipple has what looks like a round disc with a 1/8 nipple coming out of the center and four spot welds around the washer . There is a picture in the book however I don't have access to one right now to help direct you to it.

This the one your referring to? :) Probably should be posting scans from someone work without written permission. ::) Just to keep us out of trouble with the author and inline with the forum rules
Have pictures of a 7C dated base with the large nipple wonder if that is for a 67 K code with Thermactor
++++++++++++
Bossbill I suppose you saw these other threads

Yes that is the one for open emission. The big nipple version is typically used for closed emission as in thermactor.
Bossbill:
Thanks for the pics Jeff and the verfication of what I need Bob. Edited my post to remove Mannel pic and use concoursmustang.com pic. Did a slight edit too.
The link to the saacforum.com thread on how to identify a repop is gone.
Do I need to post a closeup of mine -- but what area determines if it's real or a repop?
