There are two types of air cleaners, one with a short snorkel and one with a longer snorkel. What are the different applications for the two?

Cutlass. Big snout was used on Starfires but I’ve seen them on Cutlasses too.

I have never seen a short shorkel on any Cutlass, maybe the short ones came on 2 barrel cars, cutlass and full size.

According to the 1965 PIM (Assembly Manual), pages 6-5.1 thru 6-5.4, the short snorkel was only used on the B/C body cars with the Super Rocket 425 (engine codes UN, UO, or UV). The Starfire and all A-body cars used the long snorkel on 4bbl applications.

I have a 65 Cutlass 330 4brl. That has the short snorkel also.

Actually, you are correct. I should have read the fine print. The drawing shows a long snorkel for the 330 A-body cars, but the fine print says that P/N 6421461 (long snorkel) is only used on S.M.T. applications. Automatics got 6421815, which is the short snorkel. Thanks for catching that.

I might also add that the pie tin says “Jetfire” instead of Cutlass.

Only in the Jetstar 88 and only if it was the RPO L74 315 HP Jetfire Rocket V8. All the versions installed in the A-body cars in 1965 got the Cutlass pie tin. The 2bbl version in the J88 also got the Jetfire pie tin, but that was the smaller one on the 2bbl air cleaner.

So how did mine get the Cutlass pie tin? Mine is a Freemont Car. I'm thinking maybe the station was out of the Cutlass tins and was substituted with a Jetfire tin?

Unless you've owned the car since new, you have no idea what was on the car when it left the factory. FYI, Fremont didn't build Jetstar 88s, so there wouldn't have been any Jetfire pie tins in the factory.

I've owned the car since 1980, already 15 years old! I agree anything was possible if your not the original owner.
