Hey folks, I've been trying to for an air cleaner to the carb on my 1974 Maverick. Im having trouble getting one thats low profile enough to fit under the hood. Any suggestions?
I'm running a 4 barrel with a dual plane intake manifold, and I have an Edelbrock Pro-Flow on right now. Its a small triangular foam reusable filter encased in wire mesh. Probably not the best flowing, but its the only thing that will fit until I get my hood scoop.
I used a performer intake, 1" spacer, holley 4160 and an KNN Xstream 14x4" on mine. fit well. i've heard bad stories of the foam catching on fire on those... http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18025 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3063943&postcount=32 http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/tech-general-engine/22661-edelbrock-air-cleaner-any.html
I knew they sucked, didn't know they would catch fire. Good to know. As soon as I get my hood scoop in, I'll be able to put my 14" K&N back on. The car sees minimal road time right now, so I'm not super concerned about it.
