Air Cleaner Stud '69 ?

[dannystarr]

I was told years ago that this was an original Chevrolet air cleaner stud for 1969. Would this also be correct for '68, or late '68? ... Danny

Looks like one used for cowl induction cars of 69. The length is?

[dannystarr]

Looks to be in between 2-1/4" & 2-5/16ths".   Or 58.49mm  Or 2 & 39 over 128.     But just holding a tape up to it, I bet they call it 2.25".. D

Air cleaner studs are application-specific; 7 different part numbers for '69.

Thanx William, so I may better describe it, do you know this ones application? I am going to put it in my "for sale" or "trade" pile.. D

Don't have engineering drawings so I can't ID it.

[dannystarr]

Bummer, thanx anyway.
Anybody else at least know ONE of the applications. There must be someone who has an original car, that came with THIS stud ?.. D

Here is info I found in my files on the exact stud when I purchased it.. Seem accurate? Just cause something FITS, doesn't mean it's correct... D

That list of applications, with the exception of the 57-64 passenger car, suggests that this stud may have been specific to Holley carburetors.  I can't explain how the earlier cars fit the equation but the '67-'70 applications could definitely be connected to Holley.

Oil bath air cleaner assemblies were deeper than std units.
