Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Wait a second. There are two versions of these air cleaner fronts. The 4 clip version and the 6 clip version.
The 6 clippers were for '85's thru '87 (I think) and the 4 clippers were for the later models.

The 4 clip air cleaner box had it's face plate very vertically oriented.

The earlier 6 clip was a bit more horizontal. The photo looks like a 6 clip version....which would not be correct for your later model.
I am just going by what I see in the photo above.

Is this the setup you are thinking of?

Yeah....that is the 4-clip model.
If he is just buying the lid...they don't interchange.

(and between us'ns....the 4 clip models seal a whole hell of a lot BETTER than do the 6 clippers!)
Actually, I don't think the little aluminum part of the manifold (under the plastic box) is the same either. I think one is longer than the other. Can't remember....got all this stuff in storage somewhere.

Thanks, Dakota... I took a look at mine and it is a 4 clipper.

So if one is available, please let me know.

And again, many thanks to everyone for the info, advice and parts available.

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.
