I just bought an original air cleaner housing. What is the silver emblem plate on top suppose to have on it.?
Assuming that you have a 1962 Cutlass the correct 2 air cleaner decals are as follows; https://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-1963-OLDSMOBILE-CUTLASS-F85-F-85-CUTLASS-185-AIR-CLEANER-TOP-LID-DECAL-7/142651197170?hash=item2136ac86f2:g:JoIAAOSwVA5aTaml:rk:82:pf:0 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-OLDSMOBILE-ULTRA-HIGH-CMP-AIR-CLEANER-DECAL-SILVER/391958809478?hash=item5b4290cb86:g:SXsAAOSwZB9aTapJ:rk:9:pf:0 here is a pic too.

Stupid question……The 185 represents the H.P.?
Yes, The 185 is for the 4 bbl high compression engine. 185 horse power.
thank you. next dumb question… as far as color code for the air cleaner..Any idea?
Not sure if someone could cross it but Oldsmobile used Rinshed-Mason #E29R007 red enamel. These instructions were for the 2 bbl but the 4 bbl air cleaner was the same color as far as I know. It has some orange to it but mostly red.
what is the decal on the side?
The air filter instructions. I have not looked if they reproduce them or not but I would think they do.
Yes, the air filter instruction decal has been reproduced. Rubber the Right Way or eBay.
