Hello, mgtdsteve,

What engine and carb do you have on your car? I have a Corvette 350 in my '70 with a brand new carb and low-profile chrome airfilter atop it and it looks great! I can help you out with pix and part no's if we have the same carbs.

Best regards,

Paul

I am not sure what air cleaner came on the 74, but it probably was the same air cleaner as used on a base-engined Camaro or Corvette of around that vintage.

I hope the following links work for you, because they are prior sales on eBay and you may need to be registered with eBay to access these pages....

Here is one that I believe was used on the 1980 Avanti:

Here's one from a 74 Corvette (that may have been used on Avanti):

Here's one from 70-71 Corvette:

Here's one from a Camaro:

And another: http://tinyurl.com/73p6g

Here's one that was used on Corvettes from 66-69 (I had one like this on my '71 Avanti, but darned if I can remember for certain whether it came with that air cleaner or if I added it):

There are variations in similar-appearing air cleaner bases depending on the carburetor used (base has indentations for clearance for fuel tube and throttle linkage, etc, and a cutout matching a carb tab, to precisely orient the position of the smog tube and snout), even within the same model year, however, so it may be difficult for anyone to tell you exactly which Chevy air cleaner of what year was used on any given year Avanti.

You could try asking Dan Booth at Nostalgic Motors in Wixom, MI; if anybody knows, he probably does. www.avantiparts.net

Consider this: assuming you are reasonably handy with mechanical stuff, get one you like on eBay, try it, and if it doesn't work out (ie, you can't tweak it to fit your carb setup) you can always sell it again on eBay and not lose much more than shipping $$$.

Steve: I had a 1973 with the 400 engine and it came with a 2barrel carb and it had a black Chevy air cleaner. If thats what you need and I can find it you can have it.
