66 327 4bbl air cleaner question

[1966burb]

My PCV comes out of the back of the carb and runs to the rear of the engine. My exhaust manifolds are drilled for air tubes, but are plugged. I will take some pictures.

This is very important. The correct, original style air cleaner won't work on anything but a 4GC carburetor.

Does anyone out there have an air cleaner base for a 4 jet carb that I could buy? I need a base to cut apart and weld to a larger based air cleaner. it is the 50's Cadillac type that I have painted and pinstriped. I want to use that original carb, and also want to use the air cleaner I have. An old base in decent condition would be fine.

I have a 4jet base that came off my truck but its not the correct air cleaner and someone connected a pipe plug to it underneath. Perfect for cutting up. Pm me your email addy and i'll send pics.

I was able to pick up a nice restored air cleaner on CL yesterday. Someone did a great job of modifying the base to fit a Q Jet carb. I will need to trade that off for an original base to fit my smaller Rochester carb.

Man that's a nice air cleaner too!

The guy said that it was painted at a body shop. You can tell it is not a rattle can job!!

1966burb: Have a machine shop turn up an aluminum spacer ring. Then you could keep it and maybe use it on another carb some day. I want to modify mine, but dont want to cut it. Mine needs to be bigger. What size hole do you have? I might be interested in it.

This is how it looks modified for a Q jet.
