Beautiful car. The air cleaner is a 66-67 327 Small Block unit. I can help you with the correct 396 one if you you'd like to add the correct one to the car. The correct snorkel is about 2-3 inches shorter, is a little thicker, does not angle up, and has an oval bell welded into the end instead of the round one on the 327 air cleaner.

does it look like this one

the carb is a 69 unit -- seems 65 1st year for Qjet 7025200 early--- found one on ebay --

mot sure if it can be rebuilt by Phil at custom carbs -- he has my 69 Z carb for restoration--

when he calls that its finished I will ask about it

I will stay in touch about your air cleaner
