Coach23 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I bought a Star Wars air cleaner for my 67 Buick riviera. It seems as though, it's not the original base ( black part that fits over the quadajet). I'd there anyone that has one ? Or do they make reproductions anywhere ?? Please help.

68RIVGS Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) There are no reproductions made for the Star War air cleaner base, and it is specific to that air cleaner. There are also two versions of that original base - a CA emissions base, and non-CA base. However, the good news is that a base off another model, same year air cleaner can be modified to fit the SW air cleaner. The base off any '67 full size car ( Electra, or Wildcat) with a HD air cleaner can be altered to fit. If you look at the base you will see it has a two piece spot welded insert. Remove this insert by cutting it out, and use it on the SW unit. It is identical to the SW base, other than the edge isn't rolled for the seal channel. This info was originally posted on v8buick. For whatever reasons, a lot of SW air cleaners are missing bases. The original hold down knob is another item that is sometimes m.i.a. !
