Re: Air Cleaner Housing??
that one looks home made to me but I think some old t-birds had them.
alot of them are made by cutting U-shaped pipe in half along the liength and welding a dish of somesort on top. |

That is an Olds/Cadillac cleaner from a 50's car. They're commonly called the "Batwing" style, but this is an incorrect reference to a later style Caddy filter. Here's one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1951-...spagenameZWD1V
