Correct 390 4v snorkel

[390cs68rcode]

17 inch diameter for my 68 390 air cleaner.

Why would Ford maintain two air cleaner assemblies for the same motor depending on whether the car was Canadian or domestic? Does anyone know what would be the point? Doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone scan in the documents that show the Canadian cars with the 67 assembly?

Since this is becoming a discussion it's likely that this thread may get moved.

In any case since cars delivered outside the US were not bound by the same emission standards and regulations car companies sometimes would vary equipment and features - especially when it meant they saved money. In other cases it was just easier to use the standard US parts and leave it at that.

Can't speak to the air cleaner difference since I've never needed to deal with those cars. If something is posted it would be best if it is from 68 rather than later dates IMHO

Thanks
That is completely consistent with the data in MPC.
So does the lid on the US GT fit on the 2V base?
You see we never had any of the ones you are so familiar with here in Canada being as we had 67 emissions so I've never seen one on any car I worked on past 30 years. I'm familiar with the X code 390 351 302 size and the 67 GT 69 IP 69/70 CJ BOSS.
It was that the US imposed regulatory standards for the 1968 model run.
Canada did not.
By 69 both country's production were same emission std.

Good by me.
Once we agree on this someone can make a post in the restoration section.
I know you guys will find that CANADIAN dso CARS HAVE 67 us EMISSIONS as soon a someone can look in 1st page of section 8 in the shop manuals Canada Version or section 96 of the International Ford MPC. I can scan the Canadian Shop Manual page if I have to.
If no one has INT MPC FORD maybe I'll buy one and look it up for the discussion/information base.
Here is a seller with several MPC CDs for sale 68 version

Once I know if the US GT lid interchanges with the non GT or X code base I'll have the knowledge/answer I am seeking.
Thanks for the information.

Unless I missed something link it to the standard MPC not some international one. Guy is out of OK selling on the Canadian section of E::y

According to the May 1975 Final Edition of the MPC the 1968 390 4/B had three different air cleaner assemblies.

The first was for the ("GT" with 4/B carb.) it is C8OZ-9600-B which is 17.00" dia.- 4.20 high.

The second was (except "GT") (with 4/B carb.) C8OZ-9600-A which is 17.00" dia. -4.20 high. This assembly was the same as the "B" assembly except it had a painted top.

The third was Canada only ("GT" with 4/B carb.) (open emissions)
C7ZZ-9600-F it is 16.79" dia- 3.66" high. This, according to the MPC, is the same assembly for the 1967 390 "GT".

I brought this to Jason's attention shortly after he bought his 390 CS in another thread.

I agree this thread needs to be moved!

holy crap!

Well, while I own my Canada DSO 390 CS it will have a US 68 GT air cleaner assembly.

 

[390cs68rcode]

can you link up that thread, I must have missed it back then.

BTW the snorkel in the original post IS correct for a 68 390 4V (US DSO cars).

I don't know how to do the link thing, it was a thread you started on 1-7-06 "Saturday Morning PCV System Installation Pictures"

Once I know if the US GT lid interchanges with the non GT or X code base I'll have the knowledge/answer I am seeking.

The X-Code base is 17.84" dia- 4.20 high C8AZ-9600-D.
