air cleaner base needed

warwagons said

George,
I use the 10" base on a street car with no problem. Be careful of the air filter. The tall stock filter may cause hood clearance issues. The filter you get with the "cheapo" works well. Also, you can get the cheap air cleaners in smaller sizes. I seem to remember seeing a 6" or so one at the parts store.
Good luck.

Thanks brotha! The car has a fiberglass 6PAK hood on it so clearance isn't an issue.
I looked at Autozone today, and the only ones that had that will fit my application were almost $30. Too rich for me for just a base.
I might have to wait until I can hit a swapmeet. A used piece a junk air cleaner is what I'm really looking for. I can use the base from it with my housing, and toss the beat up chrome top in the trash.

Thanks again guys.

George
