Is there a low profile air filter that fits a 750 holley double pumper?
I am looking to get a low profile or any air filter that will fit under an L88 style hood. The engine is a 350 with a Victior Jr intake and a 1-inch spacer. Carb is a Holley 750 double pumper. I hate to order something that may not fit, so I thought I'd ask first. Thanks Side note: I am currently using a 45-year-old one, but I can't find a filter element that is 8.75 x 2 inch. anymore.

Are you using a drop base for the air cleaner? I am running a Holley on an edelbrock performer intake with a standard hood. I purchased the factory drop base for a big block and was able to massage the metal in a couple of spots to fit over the Holley.

If your carb has the choke housing you have to watch the clearance between choke housing of the carburetor and air cleaner lid or you will choke it out without the choke on

I Use a 2x14 K&N open element with the filter top. It give you more square inches than a typical 3X14 open.
I would question the VJ and a one inch spacer. what kind of max rpm do you do? To increase the signal to booster the best thing to use is the thermal wood 1/2 inch 4 hole spacer. Running the carb with just a gasket the carb used to boil the gas in the bowls when you stopped. The best carb boosters are annular. I have the second best down leg boosters. I had a racing carb shop bench flow and dyno setup up my carb and intake on a dyno test mule engine.
Motown single plane and 1/2 inch wood below a measured 830 cfm Race Demon carb.

My question should have been also what kind of heads and cam do you have? IMO 750 cfm is a bit big for 350 of such low rpm. The least expensive improvent with what you have would be to buy annular boosters which will also cut down the total cfm and get a 4 hole wood spacer to increase the booster signal on a single plane. TQ is everything on a road course where you might only be using 3 gears once you are running around the track.

This is not my build; I bought the car with this set up. With it I got two bad ZZ4 engines. I was able to get one good engine out of the two. I had the crank turned, rods resized, and the assembly balanced. The heads are Trick Flow super 23 -195. Cam is full roller with 555 lift , intake duration is 308, exhaust is 316. Hooker headers and side pipes. I realize the cam is likely too big for this application, but it came with the engine. The car is just used for HPDE not real competition just for fun.
Your vacuum at idle and idle quality must be pretty radical with 308/316 and 350 ci. Your biggest gain would be to get rid of the 1 inch spacer and install a 4 hole wood spacer and annular boosters in the carb. The second more expensive step would be to pull out the H-roller lifters and buy solid roller lifters and matching spring set and make it a 6500 or 7000 red line

If you are doing the SCCA HPDE you just have to jump through their hoops to get into class type time trials and or get the competition Lic.

I use vacuum advance of 8 -10 degrees. 22 + 12 is great for sea level aftermarket fast burn type chamber aluminum heads.

Yes, it is radical, thank goodness I have manual brakes and vacuum timing advance is not hooked up. I do have the distributor set up for a total of 36 degree, I think it's 22 initial and 12 centrical. Does that sound reasonable? If I change the spacer, I think I have a different air filter that would fit.
