Not sure who made this air cleaner. Any ideas?

I scored this awhile ago, but since there is no stamping on it I have no idea who made it. It's definitely old and pretty freakin' cool...

Popular in the 70's for a short while. Pretty sure it was Cal Custom

 

I thought so too, but I can't find any pics of one.

 

Also sure. 100%. Cal Custom.

 

By the Way: The nut are wrong. Should have been one with same "stripes" as the body. Maybe I can find pics of my old one.

 

Hmmm, I'd like to see it. I thought that was a cool looking nut, too..

 

Looks like someone polished the lid of a mercuizer carb cover for a inboard outboard boat motor

 

I bought one new about 85 but damned if I can remember where. It is Cal Custom tho.

 

This is the best shot I have of the nut. It just blends in with the rest of the body.
I saved it from the early 80's when we ran it on a Gas powered FED.
I think its kinda cool.

 

Isn't that off an old Merc Marauder???

 

The Maurauder ones were even cooler. I don't have a pic, tho.

 

Close, but not quite. (edit: I think this one is a Lincoln)



also cool valve covers:

 

Awesome stuff! Now my big question... Anybody know where I can score the finned/matching nut for this thing?

 

Makes sense, we become wiser with age.

 

Or more senile!

 

I have one of these Cal Custom air cleaners for sale, it also has the center nut with the stripes to match the rest of the air cleaner..... make offer. great shape!

 

Got any pics?

 

Very cool air cleaner! Sweet nailhead you got there Fedman.

 

1958 Super Marauder

 

Just adding to a older post. Got my cal custom over 30 years ago

 

Nice looking air cleaner, but the super maurader is awsome!!
