is your air cleaner a dual snorkle?

The dual snorkle aircleaners were killed after 1972 (iirc) because of vehicle drive by noise laws - or something to that effect;
The pre-73 air cleaners will not actually fit over a post-72 quadrajet, as the Pontiac Quadrajets received starting in 1973 a hot air choke mechanism attached to the fuel bowl - as opposed to the divorced setup used in 1972 & prior.

All the 1973+ air cleaners have a hump to allow space for the hot air choke mechaism, and the single snorkle attached to ducting that drew cool outside air from the drivers side fender.
