Giving this thread a second try....

Here is a pic of the top piece of my offset air cleaner. Where would I find this gasket (goes between the top and bottom halves)?

buy gasket material at autoparts store and then you take sissors and after carfully laying it out cut it out is the oldschool way

I just bought a taller filter element that sealed between the top and bottom housing. You could go to the home improvement store of your choice and pick up a roll of the correct width foam insulation with the sticky back and cut it to length. I don't know if you will find any companies that are reproducing that seal.

you can buy rtv sealant in tubes or in bigger tubes for a caulking gun. clean out the groove and inject a nice even bead in the grove and wait for it to dry then install the lid
