[DeTomaso] Air Cleaners - OEM

I know the very late 74s have a blue painted air cleaner top that matches the blue base.  Mine is 7366 and came that way stock.  I've seen other very late production 74s with the same top.  Maybe they ran out of chrome tops and just went with blue until Ford was done with the partnership?

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
