Re: Golden Commando 395 Air Cleaner on 1962 cars?

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The decal does look good on that air cleaner.

I do not recall seeing one of these air cleaners on a 1962.  Maybe some very early 1962s come off the factory with them 
installed? Probably not though and Nick's Garage has the dates wrong. 

Try to go through the parts catalogs online of air filter manufacturers and see what they have listed for 361 air cleaner 
filters in 1962 Plymouth 361s and compare that number to the 361 1961s. Visually I bet these 1961 air cleaners use a 
different filter element than the one snorkel air cleaner usually seen on a 1962 361.

Thanks,  
Gary H.
