Here’s a trivial question. My 72 sb did not have the air cleaner on it when I bought it. What complete aftermarket air cleaner assembly will fit under the hood of a 72 without clearance issue?

I'm going to assume you have an L48 small block.

The Mr. Gasket 14" X 2" low profile air cleaner will clear. Around $30 in any decent parts store. I tried to fit a Moroso 1.5" drop low profile air cleaner with a 3" element under my hood, and no such luck. I'm running the Mr. Gasket 2" element now, but will be upgrading to a K&N 2.5" by 14" filter, since I have at least that much rooom to go up (I know there are argument about K&N, search the threads, but I couldn't find another manufacturer that makes that size). Or, you could go out and buy a replica at any of the several sites that sell corvette parts.

I also think that you can buy the complete air cleaner unit, lid and wing nut from most vendors, including Paragon and perhaps Dr. Rebuild. Check them on line. Bet you can find it there.
