Air cleaner base ID

I needed a base and both needed modified to work. I think the other base I have is from a repop cowl induction air cleaner. I guess I won't use this one. I'm not sure what lid what have been used with it.

That base is the last open element air filter Chevy used. It fits a one year only 1973 Z28. The odd tube angle is for clearance of the EGR valve.

The fact that it tapers down to a 3/4 inch tube makes a big difference. Most all others have a full one inch tube.

Would a 1973 open element Chevrolet base have a flat bottom? After 1970 most I saw had a ridge going around the outside.
