C1 1960 Fuel Injection Air Cleaner Repros

[Tom D.]

Has there ever been more than one version of the early FI Air Cleaner (the reproduction, I mean)? In other words, is Paragon offering the same one as most other sellers? Is Jack P. the maker?

THANKS!

Looks like Crane vs. Podell, which I assume is still the situation.

Thanks

There are several repros. Podell's is cheaper. Crane's is most correct. Choose your poison. FI air cleaners are reproduced by different vendors than are the carbureted air cleaners. They have different issues. The Crane air cleaner is virtually undetectable--20 years ago he used my 62 NOS one for his model for his tooling, and I had a difficult time distinguishing between the two when placed side by side.

I don't think the Crane repo has the drain hole on the bottom, easily fixed.

It would be interesting if someone was able to list the differences between the two repos and the original air cleaners for both the Fuelie and gas.
