Air cleaner clearance

[kgmunro]

What are people using for stock looking air cleaners on their trucks that have a 230-6 cyl with a power brake booster ? I added power discs to my 65 and only have a small amount of clearance from the booster to the carb (about 5 inches). I want a stock frying pan style air cleaner if possible.

On my 65, I used a 4" air cleaner because of the space. I didnt have power brakes on that truck so I could have gone bigger.

I used stock the stock power brake setup with the factory alum. wedge spacer. Chevrolet designed this becuase of the air cleaner clearance issue.

Starting in '67 GM used an offset air cleaner on the I6 trucks equipped with power brakes. You might try looking in the '67-'72 classifieds here on the forum. They are not very easy to find, but they do pop up every now and then. Otherwise you might look into a 8-9" K&N air cleaner assembly. I had one of those on my '63 4x4 Suburban with the 292 and power brakes.
