Hank, I think you need to borrow Tony's glasses, the sticker on the air cleaner says 454.

Doh! All I saw was 375HP and was thinking L78, L89 396.

It does have a opening to the rear of hood but I can not see where the air would get in the breather unless it does not touch the hood.

The domed hood cars had a closed element air cleaner in 71'- 72'. I'll have look at the domed hood I have again. But, basically, if I recall correctly... you have to remove the screen and baffle from the rear of the hood.

I have one each, a domed hood and cowl flapper good, both original GM. I can try to slide by my folks place today and compare. (Both are off the cars)

Thanks, that would be great !!

Okay, the rubber seal around the air cleaner fits up against the hood. You're saying that section of the hood does not open to the rear?
