NV Want to Buy - Flame Arrestor ("spark arrester") Assembly for 402 BBC

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

Looking for the flame arrestor assembly in this picture. Specifically the saucer in the middle, though the hose would be great too. I have the tube that inserts into the valve cover, carb spacer & tower clamps, but open to the entire assembly if it makes the deal.

Other than that, I'm always open to the brackets per my signature (bold). Pretty sure I've found the solution should the place ever get to it. But it would be nice to have original.

Thank you

Edit: Corrected, that's a one piece flame arrestor, tube and "saucer"

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

For what it's worth, here's another one, only the tube and arrestor are in reverse order. This is how it's supposed to look, IMO, but I can't say for sure.

That connector pipe looks different than expected, not sure it's what I'm looking for.

We should have one of these available, wanted to add that this type of big block air cleaner tube flame arrestor is a one piece unit with the 90* tube built onto the arrestor (or as you refer "saucer"). Will check on availability before lunch, Mel

Here is the air cleaner extension/riser BBC arrestor tube assy that we have on hand/ready to ship, $58. shipped CONUS. Mel

Just went and had a look through our old big block saved file folders, here are some pictures showing the mounting orientation of the BBC arrestor tube assy on a few 72 big block trucks, I wouldn't overthink it too much as we've had originals come in mounted both ways over the years. The last added picture is showing the overall height differences between the early and later style air cleaner extension/risers. Mel

Got you covered Mel, I didn't read until after, I paid the fees, don't care, just happy to find an original part.



For what it's worth I found mine with a elbow tube (aka connector) with the arrestor screen on one end. Era correct IMO, wrong block. So The hose wasn't original, kind of a cluster, but at least they saved the right tower clamps.
