There's one on this page that might work. (About 1/3 of the way down the page):

You would want the DFEV one.

I got that one for my ADFA on my '78, just had to trim the opening in the lower mounting plate in 4 spots & redrill the mounting holes.
Best part of these aircleaners, beyond the better breathing, is the sound from it when the secondary opens up!

Heres a pic of how I mounted the lower plate, I will probably turn it around as the hole for plumbing the breather hose is blocked by the idle solenoid.

Thanks alot! I just recently got my spider and I love driving it, but lately its been having trouble with idling. I found that the person I got it from had crushed the wrong size air filter in the stock air cleaner and the vacuum operated butterfly valve is stuck closed. I will order one tonight. Thanks again!
