I sorta winder if that isn't...

By Dave Shoe - 08/02/2003 9:48:46 PM; IP 216.243.176.34

...a 1968 390-4V non-GT Fairlane/Mustang engine with a GT carb installed onto it.

Is that a GT air cleaner? I always thought the GT got an open element air cleaner. This one does have the cold air vacuum valve on the drivers side which opens to allow more air in under full throttle, indicating it might be for some kinda performance application.

Curious.

Shoe.
