Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: Delta Wing Air Cleaners



I added a more pictures showing the inside.

 Everything fits together nicely. Probably sat in the trunk of the car it was in for 30+ years.

Nick,

A couple of questions:

1.    Do the top and bottom of each canister fit into each other correctly?

2.    The differences are the material used as the actual filter components.  From what I've seen the '55 was a much finer component and the '56 was more open.  Based on your photos I can't see the detail needed to comment.  Currently I only have the '56 version.  Years ago I wrote an article on this and you may find it on the club's website.

As you state, once on the car you can't tell the difference.  With that said the '55-'56 units actually built by AC Delco were unique to these "Chryslers" alone.  There were several versions from several GM cars, Packards and possibly more during that era.

I picked up a delta wing air cleaner yesterday that is supposed to be for a 300B. When I got home and looked into it, I see there are differences between 1955 and 1956 but don't have specifics.

Can you tell from these photos if this is a 1955 or 1956 version? Once on the car, can you tell the difference?


And no, I don't want to sell it at this time.

Also, how much is a good 1955-56 horn ring worth, with and without the center?

Thanks, Nick.
