AIR CLEANER FOR '66 MUSTANG 289

66ConvertibleSandra · 01-29-2005, 08:46 PM

We have just purchased a 1966 Mustang Convertible with the 289CI, 3-speed manual. I don't believe it has the correct air cleaner assembly on it. Can anyone tell me which is the correct air cleaner assembly, and where is the best place to find one? I believe I also need the heat pipe assembly that runs down and attaches to the exhaust manifold.

Thanks for the help!

I assume you have a 2 bbl carb? If so, you have an air cleaner with a cover and snorkel. If you had a Hi-po 'K' car, it would have an open element chrome air cleaner with no snorkel or heat tube.

Didnt the 4 bbl also have the snorkal? I thought there was the 2bbl, 4bbl, and HiPo. And only the HiPo had the chrome aircleaner.

If she has a 3 speed manual tranny, then she has a 2 barrel carb unless some previous owner added a four barrel and intake later.

I have an original 66 air cleaner off my car if you cant find one. Might even deliver it if "Topless in Virginia" isn't referring to your convertible[sm=smiley2.gif] LOL
