[DeTomaso] Air Cleaners - OEM

[Richard Greenblum]

That¹s how my ¹74 (7080) was (still have most of the parts).  Blue base,
chrome top, galvanized wing nut, snorkel pointing to the charcoal canister,
funky accordion rectangular hose attached to a bracket on the frame.

Hmm, my '73L (5326) had the blue base, chrome lid, but the snorkel pointed
to #1 (forward most cylinder on passenger side).  I'm pretty sure that was
stock as my car still had the rubberized-cloth, flexible rectangular 'tube'
that went from the air-cleaner snorkel down to the actual air intake point
near the ground.  There was some kind of bracket holding the thing in place
that I can't quite remember.  Doubtful anyone had gone to the trouble to
relocate it from the #8 position.
I had always thought the pre-Ls had the snorkel pointing to #8?

All the US Pantera ones I've seen are blue with chrome lids and a snorkel
pointing either to #1 (pre-L) or #8 (Ls & up).  The black ones can be found
in other Fords etc since about '67 or so & seem identical except for the
chrome lid. Can't remember if the wide bodies had cleaners with black or
blue bottoms. FWIW- J DeRyke
