DESCRIPTION
OEM 1978-79 Pontiac Trans Am Pontiac W-72 400 Shaker Air Cleaner. The assembly has media blasted and refinished in semi-gloss black to present a period correct image. The base features the W-72 specific oval snorkel in very good condition with the correct 6" opening, new yellow striped and black vacuum lines, and a new heavy duty air filter. The exterior features a new Air Cleaner Service Decal (PJ=79). The base features the correct deep drop required for proper shaker hood clearance, as well as the angled flange that parallels the base level with the sloped hood line. Includes the ported thermal vacuum sensor, EVS triangular sensor, and correct air temperature sensor with OEM clip. A rarely seen date stamp has been added to the base as a nice touch of authenticity.
The original shaker lid is in excellent condition as well. To complete the package, a new heavy duty air filter, period correct wing nut, and a new filter breather with GM stamped adapter are included.
As an added bonus, a correct Pontiac T/A specific pre-heater elbow replete with Wittek tower clamp and black aluminized hose is included to make installation more complete.
This assembly presents very nicely and will enhance your restoration. Best of all, it is a genuine GM part!
