What aircleaners will clear?

[71_Duster]

Just bought a 67 Belvedere with a 440 in it. It has an edelbrock carb and edelbrock rpm intake.

The car has a cheap chome air cleaner with a drop base that drops too much and causes it to hit the electric choke on the eddy so the P.O stacked about 4 air cleaner gaskets to make it clear.

What air cleaner set ups are out there that you guys are running?

Here's a pic of the new toy

#1221 Edelbrock air cleaner will clear, inexpensive, not the best made or fanciest, but it will work. Nice looking sleeper by the way.

I'm running a 440 with a rpm intake and holley 750 in my 66 bel. I'm using a repro unsilenced breather I got from Mancini. I couldn't use a drop base breather because of the trans linkage and coil. I went down to my local auto parts store and looked thru a air filter book until I found the shortest filter that was the correct diameter. The breather barely fits but it looks great. I can get you the filter # if you need it.

A low-profile K&N with a filter lid will fit, no problem.

I have a super commando pin plate and the lid for an un-silenced air cleaner but no base plate.

Was worried about it sucking too much hot air.

I have a K&N filter lid in my parts stash too. The current drop base isn;t a factory part just a cheap unknown parts store one.



With the Eddy 1221 what size of K&N filter element do you run?

 

[bigredbird]

I've got a Holley 750, not an Eddy, but the K&N was the slimmest filter I could find for it. The hold-down nut barely keeps from dinging the hood. But it clears.

The edelbrock rpm intake sets up a lot higher than the intake you have.
