IS there a way to keep the stock air cleaner lid with a quadrajet?
Will a 66 base work with a 65 lid?
Thanks!

As long as the diameter of the base matches the top it should. I’d pull out my 66 base and try it with mine, but my spare air cleaners are boxed up in storage.

Yes, there is, I had a Quad. for a while and used the stock air cleaner. BUT, you can't use the stock base, just the top as the stock opening is too small for the Quad. I used a typical Edelbrock 14" chrome air cleaner base and 2.25 inch high filter, and plopped the stock top on it. Worked perfectly.

I did it with stock olds parts. There is a 66-67 air cleaner for Quad that has the same diameter as a 65 442 chrome top. It might be from a Ram rod 350, but I can't remember. I used it on a Demon carb that has the same diameter as a Q-Jet. I can't remember the specific model, but I gave the 66 air cleaner top to familyrides1965. Maybe Jim still has it and can tell you what markings were on the top? Added plus, the stock base holds the top at the correct height, and hides the modern carb from view. If I remember correctly, I think the top was red in color. Good luck.
