correct dropped base open element for LG4?

Did my research, and it seems a dropped base14x3 open element air cleaner would be a good edition to my '83 LG4 with E4ME.

Are these bases sort of "one size fits all"? What are the chances it will fit well and seal on top of my carb?

Thanks for help with this stupid question...
B.

It will fit. I run that same one just without the logo.

Thanks for the info. I'd rather not have the logo, but this is the one I found

Painted it to match my valve covers when I did the 350 swap, added a decal Pretty nice setup I thought. Would love a dual snorkel setup though!
