Ok here is re-popped batwing air cleaner,ebay.com/itm/BATWING-DUAL-QUAD-CARB-AIR- ... k%3D1%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D131497364842

Can you make the carburetors? Looks like about 25 different internal part differences between the regular 4GC and the 55 2x4.

The linkages, shouldn't be to tough, should it?


What the seller is not stating here is that the drawer pulls on top of this unit shown are Cadillac only. All others used wing nuts.

Also not stated (and probably not known) is that Cadillac oil bath pots and Packard (and other) pots were a different size (diameter and depth) AND different offset (top hole is not in dead center). Cadillac pots were bigger and deeper.

And the Packard unit mounts in reverse of the GM units.

Finally, Chrysler also used this air cleaner-only with heavy ribs in the main body and also painted gold (Cadillac wasn't the only one in gold).
