Re: Im stumped on something silly. Air filter setup.
These are nice but pricey RAM AIR BOX I will buy one of these some day, I had one of these on my 71 longbed with a 454BB and I definitely felt the difference when I put it on..

Re: Im stumped on something silly. Air filter setup.
Actually, it's almost just like that. You need to try to stick with a theme through the whole engine bay. I like the ball milled air cleaners, but without ball milled valve covers, or some kind of milled aluminum, it would look like socks on a rooster.
lyrikz, you have chrome steel valve covers with the CHEVROLET emossed letters, so my suggestion would be a chrome steel air cleaner lid. Something with no lettering or with the same style lettering as the VC's if possible.The tiangle style air cleaner you have picked should look great. My only suggestion would be lettering choices like I mentioned above.

Re: Im stumped on something silly. Air filter setup.
As a public service announcement, i feel i should present my story concerning the edlebrock "triangle" air cleaner.
But first, let me say that i think Edlebrock is a great company and i use other edlebrock products. But i think they dropped the ball concerning this type of air cleaner. http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/sm...p?topic=7169.0 In another instance, i used that exact same air cleaner on another car and the engine had a backfire and the engine physically blew the air cleaner off the engine about 20 inches in the air. (the latch mechanism for this air cleaner is also maybe not the best design out there) i had the hood up when this happened. b) the other concern is that the foam may be too close to the top of the carb and/or bowl vents. This can cause problems with fuel metering. Now, as far as what styles of air cleaners i do like are the dual snorkel type that alot of hi-po gm cars had. In this way, you're getting high volume air intake when needed while still getting maximum mpg. Last edited by C-10 simplex; 01-28-2010 at 04:52 PM. |

Re: Im stumped on something silly. Air filter setup.
As unsafe as they are, I wonder why there has never been a class action lawsuit against them? Safety first!

Re: Im stumped on something silly. Air filter setup.
Nice lookin engine Petey. But every time I see these open top filters I have flashbacks to my childhood to the old Tupperware lids. First time I saw one, my first thought was that someone improvised and stole Mom's Tupperware top ![]()

Re: Im stumped on something silly. Air filter setup.
Here is the one I used for my Camaro and will also use on my '72 short step. It's something you don't see all the time.

Re: Im stumped on something silly. Air filter setup.
I ran one of the triangle edelbrock filters for a few months when i bought my first '68. It caught fire numerous times, but I'd just crank the engine back up, rev it, and the fire would get sucked down in the engine and go out.
Not saying it will work every time for everyone, but it did for me. All the same, I replaced it as soon as I could. It's still hanging on the wall. |
