I could really use some help (suggestions) on an air cleaner for my engine. I have tried a few 14" and dont seem to like the large size (covers too much up) so I went with this one. But I dont think this is too good of an air cleaner so im looking for another, but could use your help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also any opinions on this one would be appreciated!
Yes I was looking at that same cleaner you have, theyre super nice, problem is it is a 14" and it doesnt fit next to my distributor setup I have unless its not drop base, also I am partial to the small size cleaners. I like the look of the open engine a bit more. But its more a fit issue. thanks

Why not go with the dual snorkle type? it would look good plated in chrome.
Dave...You have a nice looking engine and I understand you wanting a smaller air cleaner to show off you engine. You may be able to pick up a dropper base 11" air cleaner from Jegs or Summit. If you will notice on my air cleaner that the off-set base clears my distributor by 1 1/4". A regular 14" base hits my distributor. I went with the 14" as I wanted better air flow. I went into e-bay and searched "off set air cleaner bases". I picked up the base for about $15.
This one can and will catch fire if the engine backfires badly. The filtering membrane sits right on top of the venturies with no protection. I learned this one the hard way!!
