Wanted 1964.5 Air Filter snout
« on: October 24, 2023, 10:31:42 AM »
Pictured below is the air filter that came on my May 1964.5 Mustang convertible with a 260 V8.  It is obviously missing the snout. Not sure how much of a long shot this is but does anyone have a snout they would part with?

Thank you,

Corey

It's a pretty common item, only gets a little more difficult if you're looking for a date-correct one. 


Does your air cleaner base have the choke vacuum nipple on it?

Charles,

I do not see anything that resembles what you are referring to.  I added a picture of the underside of the base, I assume it would show up in this picture?

It was phased out during 64.5 production.  The air cleaner base usually has a year/month date code, like 4D, 4E...  (April '64, May '64)

A couple of pictures of the tube. There was no date code on this air cleaner, and the paint is wrong. It came off a wrecked Mustang.

Mine does not have either of those nipples shown.  Thank you for the picture.
