Air cleaner questions

Originally, when I bought the 85, it came with a 5" stock air cleaner that sat on top of a qjet. I wound up getting ride of the air cleaner but kept the carb. Will this air cleaner fit on square bore carbs too? More specifically, on a holley double pumper and maybe a HolleyStreet avenger.


Yes, I'm still trying to get legal?!?!?


Thanks

if it has a drop base then you may need to buy a spacer, but other than that yes it will fit fine.

I have a 14" open element cleaner on my holley 1460 with a drop base on it and it won't clear the parts of the carb, I just went to advance auto and bought a 1" air cleaner spacer which was plastic and it works great. All the 4-bbl carbs for these trucks use the same diameter on top of the carb, so any air cleaner will fit.

Thanks Destructo.
