Air Cleaner
I just bought an air cleaner via the internet from someone who advertised it as a '65. When it arrived I checked William Wonder's Restoration Guide and discovered the air cleaner was for a '64. In the Guide however the diagrams showing the decal placement were inconsistent with the accompanying photos. I then checked the Official Ford Shop Manual and the picture of the air cleaner for a '65 looked exactly like the one I bought. I am confused to say the least.
The air cleaner I bought is rounded along the top edge and has a top cover which is smaller than the body and does not overlap the body of the air cleaner. Can someone tell me what year I bought and what a '65 air cleaner is supposed to look like. Though I'll never make the Bird I bought into a concours level car I do want it to be fundamentally correct as to the parts and pieces (particularly one so obvious as the air cleaner). Any help would be much appreciated.
