1978 F-3 super sport air box?

I have a 1978 750 F-3 super sport w/o an airbox . It has four single pod filters and I want to buy the proper original air box for a 78 F-3 . What are the differences for an F3 vs any other K model or others ? Eveyone on eBay acts like they are all the same but I want to make sure I buy the correct one ! I have read the F-3 was differnt but not sure if it is the same as 76&77 super sport models too ? Please tell what to look for specifically and what to look out for also ? THANKS for any assistance !

As far as I know the box has 'CB750F' molded into the side near the bottom flange of the upper half........maybe the rubber 'stacks' are a different size for the carbs.
I am only guessing after looking at some spare boxes in my stash.

I think this looks correct.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/78-HONDA-CB750-CB-750-FOUR-K-AIRBOX-AIR-BOX-/400234702622
This one is dirty, hard to tell if it is in bad shape or not, the seller should clean it up.
I just went to the garage and had a look , my F3 is stamped HM CB750 F - F

The air box for the models with the PD carbs have larger holes for the velocity stacks. These models include the F2, F3 and I think the K7 and K8. The one in the link given by 2Wheels will fit the F3. Pat

The one shown in the e-bay link is correct for your bike. The 1977 and 1978 F and K models used that type. The difference from the earlier years is that the new models have the emissions canister hose connector at the top of the air box.
