Aircleaner - OE

[Rusty_S85]

Ive been browsing and found a E1TZ-9600-AJ aircleaner at a dealership which should be brand new.  Down side is its not in state and its going to cost me $218.95 with shipping.  Didnt pay that much for the E1TZ-9600-AJ aircleaner I bought NOS off ebay for $140 that was misboxed and contains some weird odd ball aircleaner that has a mounting base that wont fit a 4V carb.

So now I am in a situation where do I take the risk and buy this aircleaner and hope its right and it contains what my NOS unit does which is aircleaner, filter, sensors, and no snorkel or do I keep searching for a better deal.  These aircleaners dont come up often and I can find used ones that are all beat up and rusty for roughly the same price.

I would have the dealership pull it and send you photos of everything. That would eliminate that concern at least. If you've already exhausted the typical used searches (jy, CL, fb) for trucks being parted out, sounds like it may be the best option to get what you want...and it's new.

That air cleaner is correct for these applications:

I sent them a email last night asking if they could send a photo of the part.  I dont mind spending the money for it, I want a OE air cleaner for my fuel injection install and I could try to use mine and put a spacer under it to slightly raise the aircleaner assembly above the 4150 style simulated float adjustment screws.  But mine is all split up and just wouldnt look good in my book on a all new engine.

Yes, that is what I was seeing also last night.  The dealership lists it as a 351W airfilter only but the part number is what I went by.

The AJ is the one I bought last time off Ebay that was NOS and ended up being a AJ box but the airfilter housing itself wasnt an AJ.  I thought of making an adapter plate for it but since all this virus stuff has the economy so screwed up and blueprint is currently out of the short block I was leaning towards buying I have time to keep my search up for the right one even if I do have to modify the aircleaner itself or buy a metal spacer to slightly raise the air filter up to clear the 4150 simulated float adjustment screws.
