273 HiPo air cleaner base inside diameter?

[Firstblood]

Ok, tired of searching, thought I would ask.
What is the i.d of an original base plate for this air cleaner.
I bought an air cleaner assembly that is supposed to be original.
The base plate I.D is 4 1/4"
The Carter afb on my car is not original and measures 5 1/8" across.
Help me out please.

Thanks Wawarnick,
Same as the one I bought, my aftermarket Carter afb 4758s takes the bigger 5 1/8 size.

The original Chrysler AFB was 4 1/4 diameter.

Just get one of the cheapie 9" chrome air cleaners and use the baseplate under the Commando lid with a 2-3" tall filter (depending on how much hood clearance you have).
