Exploded parts breakdown of an air cleaner showing wing nut, cover, element, base, snorkel, ducts and preheater.

AI caption · Photo 5 of 11

This document is a factory-style exploded parts diagram (credited "Copyright FoMoCo") showing a stock air cleaner assembly for a Ford vehicle. The illustration depicts the complete air cleaner in an exploded view, with callout labels identifying the major components and how they stack and connect. Labeled parts include the wing nut that secures the assembly, the cover (lid), the air filter element, and the base housing. Attached to the base is the snorkle (air intake snout), which connects to a duct and intake hose assembly leading to a duct near the exhaust manifold area. Also labeled are the preheater hose and the preheater shroud, which mounts over the exhaust manifold to supply warm air to the intake during cold operation. Small hardware pieces such as clips, grommets, screws, and vacuum fittings are illustrated but not individually labeled, and no part numbers, torque values, or year/model applicability text appears on the diagram. A reader can learn the correct assembly order and relative positions of the air cleaner components, including how the preheater system routes warm air from the exhaust manifold through the flexible hose into the snorkle. The document is useful for reassembling or restoring a stock air cleaner and heat-riser (preheat) setup.
