with these valve covers.. I like either the first oval or the last round that looks the same.. Maybe someone out there knows of a better air cleaner.

joe231 · 05-25-2008, 08:20 PM

out of the 2, i like the round with ribs

but personally like the round with writing

Id say it depends how your intake mainfold looks. If its nice and polished up, you might want to show it off a bit more and use a skinnier air filter #1. Not to mention... it does look pretty damn nice.

Rogue 64 · 05-25-2008, 09:19 PM

It depends on your build....
1 and 4 are traditional and 2 and 3 are high-tech.
Those valve covers are not traditional, so I'd say 2 or 3.

Nothing looks worse than mixing High-tech and Billit with traditional.

**ChiefRocka** · 05-25-2008, 11:32 PM

I like the round type.......so my pick would be the last one

scotts62 · 05-26-2008, 12:31 AM

Oval one with Edelbrock racing on it for me

greg64 · 05-26-2008, 12:55 AM

To tell the truth, although I like the classic round cleaner, it doesn't go with those valve covers. How about something like this?

NF65Fleetside · 05-26-2008, 02:30 AM

im dig'n the last one!

kdrodworks316 · 05-26-2008, 06:37 AM

round with ribs!

Iron-Butt · 05-26-2008, 07:02 AM

round w/ribs

**Chevy Fleetside** · 05-26-2008, 04:11 PM

I'm thinking round also. 1. it looks better in an older truck and 2. it is easier to get a new replacement filter for it unless the ones in there are washable.

TINKERDUKE · 05-27-2008, 11:15 AM

How are the first and last filters fitted? Is there some sort of jubilee clip underneath?

I saw them putting one of these on an engine on Power block on Spike TV. I am guessing the base attaches to the carb somehow and the lid has some studs and you attach it from the bottom so you don't see the wing nuts or whatever is being used.

i like the bottom right with those valve covers. but personally not just matching the covers i like the top right.

round ribs,

283 Man · 05-28-2008, 05:07 PM

round ribs

jchav62 · 05-28-2008, 06:46 PM

Another vote for the round/finned Edelbrock one. Those would be sick with a set of Finned Edelbrock VC's...

Joey~AP · 05-28-2008, 10:38 PM

Round Victor with double stacked Fram Air Hog elements.
