would any of you happen to have the correct part number for a e code air cleaner element> thanks

According to the Ford parts books, there are two different filters used.  B7A 9601-F is the dual filter element where two filters are required.  B7A 9601-G is the single element.  For dimensions, the dual element filters are 5 9/16"  ID X 7 1/16" OD and 2 1/8" high.  The single element filter is 14.79" ID X 17 3/4" OD and 2.88" high.  Interestingly, there is only one housing shown.

Ford car or Thunderbird?

If you need one, look at "olddudescarparts" on e-bay. Jim is selling a very good repop. just expensive.

Those part #'s are pass car.
B7S-9601-B is T-Bird. Same oval as car except 2.125" tall.
