Re: [FWDLK] '56 D-500 2x4 Air Cleaners

Methinks it would be a "batwing" air cleaner, like all other 56 DQ air cleaners. Find the distance between the center pins on this Dodge set up and compare with the 300 and Adventurer measurements (they were not the same between the Chrysler and DeSoto) and maybe the Dodge is the same as one of the two ?
