Just wondering what is the correct color for the air cleaner housing on a 71 383 roadrunner. Is it gloss black, semi-gloss, or black wrinkle finish?

The original air cleaner on my (then 383) Road Runner was none of the above. It was a hemi-orange dual snorkle with a pie plate. I think the black krinkle air cleaners were on earlier models.

That orange one was probably from a 72. Correct 71 should be black krinkle. Even my SSP with the 2bbl carb has a black krinkle one (obviously different from a 4bbl).

Thanks alot for the help. Now does anybody know how the vac hoses run on it. These air cleaners have alot of ports on them and i'm not sure where everything hooks up.

Whoa, sorry for spreading disinformation! The one on my Runner would have gotten replaced EARLY in the car's life then... It was orange back when I bought it from Lammers in '81. Weird. Oh well, I'll stick with my six barrel--I KNOW what color it's supposed to be!
