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 ?
