Air Cleaner Lid

[67 GT350]

I am in the process of helping a dear friend get a few cars running after sitting. On a 66, I had to take off the air cleaner assembly. What I noticed was the chrome top was beautiful condition, however it was very thick and heavy. This think felt like a tank could run over it and it would not bend!! Ideas? ID numbers anywhere?

No ID numbers on the lid .The thick and heavy is a sign of a original lid. The repros are thinner and lighter . The profile of the lid is another tell.The typical repro does not have sharp angles in the contours of the lid.The original does. Gradual contours of the profile typically indicate a reproduction . I am not near my picture files but hopefully someone will post some profile pictures.

Do us a favor and weigh that lid. That will give us a baseline to go by (hopefully) in the future.

I have found the heavy ones to not all weigh the same.

This is perhaps the best image to help tell an original
From the other post. I found it helpful

I will next time I go there....IF that is what it is, then that is the first one I ever saw!!!

OK, another indicator would be to measure the thickness. Either the gauge or in thousands.

just weighed it and it looked to be about 3.5 lbs.
