66-67 Dodge Charger Source Guide


Air Cleaner

Posted by Aarin on 10/01/03

This is what I know from looking at these cars for many years and having a massive collection of road tests and original literature :

66 Charger

Engine

Air Cleaner Description

318 deep housing with 'flat' lid, single cylindrical snorkle, flared end, no taper
361 'flat' bottom with deep lid, larger diameter than 318, comes almost to point on top (pieplate won't fit), single cylindrical snorkle, flared end, no taper - (common to most big-block 2bbls in B or C bodies from 66 to 69 - probably earlier)
383 4bbl very small dia. but tall unsilenced open-bottom one (that looks like mid to late 60s slant six) - (this was used on big block 4bbl B-bodies 64 - 66 and maybe earlier)
426 big and chrome !

67 Charger

Engine

Air Cleaner Description

318 same as 66 (also LA engine A and B bodies 'till 69)
383 2bbl same as 66 361
383 4bbl this one I am not sure, I believe Don D has the answer here - dual snorkle version of 361 style, but possibly the little unsilenced one (color: low gloss black)
440 mag same basic body shape as the 361 style, but with a flatter top for the pie plate, tapered oval snorkles with rolled ends - ( just a guess - but this is prob the unit used on Chrysler 440 'TNT' engines 'til 69)
426 chrome dome again

Other than the 67 383-4bbl I am quite confident of this list - I have never seen an original car or vintage literature that conflicted with it.
