I believe 71 was the last year for that.
As long as you stay away from the crossed flags turbo jet stuff, no one will know the difference.

Big Block Dave is right, 71 was the last year that the air cleaner lid had a cubic inch/horsepower label, GM changed the way they rated engine horsepower in 72, resulting in lower ratings, and they stopped putting engine labels on air cleaners.

The only label on your 72 air cleaner was the "Keep Your GM Car All GM" label on the left side of the base.
