I was hoping to determine if the instruction tag on this 7" air cleaner is OEM or after market. From what few OEM and after market ones I've seen online, all have rounded corners. This one the corners are squared. Showed it to members of the Highlands and Blue ridge chapters at Jefferson, all saying after market. Clete (Old Dude) also agreed it's after market.
Most agreed, though, the shell looks OEM, but probably rechromed. Just yesterday, I discovered a small and very faint stamping on the inside edge of the shell. Difficult to say what it is for certain, but it looks like hills and vines. Thought maybe someone stamped it for identification purposes, or perhaps a re-plating company did. Or maybe it's a makers mark suggesting the shell also is after market.
Thanks, Ed
