Any typical open air round air cleaner that clears the carb and fits under the hood should be fine.
That carb is missing the secondary air valve, you're probably going to find it stumbles pretty badly when you get into it.

Re: need to know
just grab you a regular breather and put a filter on your valve cover. As far as the screw barely holding on i beleive its oreillys autoparts that actually have all those little ball ends and bolts for the linkages pacific for edelbrock dunno if you have an oreillys near you though

Re: need to know
Looks like an Edelbrock 1406, had one on my '79 bird. It appears that your pcv isn't connected either.
