62 low profile air cleaner
I know someone has already gone down this road and can save me some effort so what I need is a low profile air cleaner to fit a new Edlebrock Carb I installed on my 62 340 HP. Cant use the original air cleaner because of the larger top diameter opening on the new Carb. Old carb top 4 1/4" new carb top 5"diameter. overall height of air cleaner can not be over 2 1/2" as to fit under the hood. Anyone found a good air cleaner that looks good on the old 62? Could fab a lower mounting plate and use the top of the original air cleaner.
Thanks

Thanks for the good info and options. I think I will go for the Mr Gasket filter assy that gives me a few options. I can use the chrome filter as is or use the base to mount the original filter and cover on. the trans dap filter is 3" tall and may not do the trick. The CC reproduction filter assy is just to dam expensive at $170. Thanks again.

Mid '60s Pontiac Tempest air cleaner fits the larger carb and looks just like the original except is is chrome steel.
I think they may even be reproduced, also.
