Request for help on L6 offset air cleaner riser pipe dimensions. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bill3rail · 07-12-2017, 09:46 PM

I am trying to get exact dimensions of the riser for carburetor to the air cleaner.
Could someone contact me or post dimensions so I can manufacture one for my truck?

The piece with the hose attached in this picture.

Thank you,

Bill

No luck yet, many possibilities of who may have one, but nothing definite yet.

Has anyone compared that part to the standard one that was used in 68 on an L6 ?

Everytime a see a picture of the offset one I think it looks just like the regular one.

That might kill me if there are different sizes.
I hope there is only one size.
Any straight six expert's know about this?

I have an offset air cleaner on my 67 250. I'll post pictures and dimensions later today.

Total height/length is 3 13/16
inside diameter is 2 1/2
outside diameter including the lips is 3"
the first picture is 3 1/2 between both lips
the end without the rolled edge protrudes past the lip 1/4"

My 67 doesn't have the breather tube, so I can't help you with that location or dimension.

**NGN** · 07-22-2017, 01:16 AM

Hello Bill. Well I do have two riser, though they look alike they are not the same height , not really sure of the years, it's been awhile but they both look like the one you got pictured. The one I'm using for my off set, (I believe 71) , I got the complete set for $ 35.00 no kidding, that riser measured from end to end 3" 9/16. The other riser which was used for the regular air cleaner before going power disc brakes measured 3" 3/4. With 3/16 of a inch difference just maybe use a 3/16 spacer under the air filter ( I have a rubber washer there now so there no metal on metal), all other measurements are the same.

Thank you for the information. I need to setup the air cleaner then measure the space to guestimate the riser height.

Here is what I have. I have no idea what it came off of though. It was in a box of parts. I also have the small hand guard off my father in laws old truck.

bill3rail · 07-28-2017, 11:51 PM

I now have the piece I need. I have detailed dimensions for it, and will order the material I need to make one or two or three...

Unfortunately, I can no longer load images to photobucket! They seem to have screwed the pooch and are nothing but massive advertising popups and slide ins and drop downs!

I added an attachment through 67-72 hopefully it can be viewed well enough.

Good deal ! .

This appears to be the same one I use on my '69, it was a random Junk yard part from who knows what year though .

?? is this a thing anyone else cares about ?/ .

I sometimes have the devil of a time finding stock i6 parts because they all seem to get discarded .

Wrenchbender Ret · 07-31-2017, 10:22 AM

I've made them several times out of exhaust tubing.

VWNate1 · 07-31-2017, 01:26 PM

It pleases me greatly to know there are more i6 lovers out there

They seem to be like Hen's teeth. When I was searching for the offset air cleaner, I ended up buying three different ones to get all the parts I needed to build one complete setup to use.

I got lucky and found a correct complete offset here from a board member.
