LOL! Haven't seen one of those in years. The filter isn't very good, it will not stop much of anything smaller than a small bird, and if the motor pops up real good, it sets the foam on fire.
They do look really good though.

No. The air filtration surface is too small and it will foul very quickly. Why not find the right air cleaner for your carb? Get a factory air cleaner for a four barrel carb or late 80s TBI setup. |

Jon, I think he is saying it may not have enough of surface area for a 4 barrel carb set-up. I bought an Edelbrock one at Advacne auto for about $30. I think it was 14" X 3" and fits under the hood of my 65 Valiant. Rick |

generally the golden rule when not using a factory air cleaner, for the purpose of efficiency, is to use the biggest air cleaner that you can. the larger it is, the better the engine breathes. |

I used to use one exactly like that on my '66. I can not give you any exact data, but it always seemed to me to be too small in diameter. |

| Post subject: | there's a formula |
I need 48.5 square inches according to the chart below. 225 X 4500 cubic inch times peak stock engine rpm then divided by 20839 http://www.knfilters.com/filter_facts.htm using 6 inch dia. X pi we get 18.84 inches x 2 inch width we get 37.68 inches looks like a 23% undersize air filter...but my math may be faded... |
