Lookes like the base and snorkel are the same but different top. I also ordered a Decal like yours but doesn't fit the radius on my Air Cleaner Top.
Your Air Cleaner looks great by the way!!! Maybe I just paint my too?

Yes, decal didn't fit mine as well - I cut it into 3 pieces and arranged on the top. Sprayed a coat or two of clear over the top of it all to help it stay put/nice.





Here's a pic of the top before

You have eyes like a Hawk ! ! ! It's an electric Engine Heater. It's more Heavy Duty (2000w) then most Engine Block Heaters and includes a small pump for
circulation.
I like your Air Cleaner and just going to copy your idea with the Decal. I REALLY need to do some detailing under the Hood!!!
Do you remember the paint code. There are a lot of Ford blue color tones out there?

I would have never guessed that - don't need those where I live but I can see why you need a heavy duty one (and don't need A/C) !!

I went with "Old Ford Blue" - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/RLL-248946

Q: What's the 1966 in Matt1966 for?

I especially like that 1/4" female spade connector on the coil...I've got one just like it on the brown truck...works great!

Thanks NumberDummy!!
My Air Cleaner Base looks like the one in the illustration but not the Top?
The Air Cleaner in the Picture from kegger66 looks exactly like the illustration.
When the "400" Decal didn't fit I thought the Air Cleaner was from a different car/Truck but now I dont know for sure. It doesn't matter anyway. I am just going to copy kegger66 and modify the Decal to go on after paint. Thanks!!!!

Keep in mind that there is an all steel version and an aluminium version with a steel neck.
