[DeTomaso] Pantera Air Cleaner

[Jordan Klein]

Only L model snorkels were designed to accommodate the factory style under-chassis cold air pick-up tube.  Also the late air cleaner base is designed to fit the carburetor with the snorkel facing right front toward firewall.  See pics.   Pre-L snorkels have a flared design and face left rear.
