[69 Valiant Kid]

anyone?

I run an LD340 with Eddie AVS and it fits with a stock air cleaner. I compared the LD340 with an Air Gap side by side at a swap meet and they are the same height. So my guess is it will fit.

Don't have your setup Kid with intake and DP, however with a 14x 2" open filter I had to use a dropped lowered base pan to clear with my 318. (Just in case your wondering about non-stock Open)

Just put on on a 340 dart. TIGHT fit. my wing nut rubs so I will have to play with the air cleaner.

 

[69 Valiant Kid]

thanks GTS. that's what I needed. by the way, your 69 looks sweet. get some pics up.

Thanks, tons of work to go. My carb is a 750 demon and I assume its the same hight as a 650 holley DP as its a copy of the holley.

I have air gap with mopar air cleaner and got a shorter filter for it for enough hood clearance

I believe it is 12 3/4" x 2 3/4" and I got a 12 3/4 " x 2" filter clears the hood OK but the insulation rubbed and had to go

thanks for the input wild cat

75 Dart, 360, Eddy Airgap, 625 Carter AFB, 3" tall air cleaner, no clearance problems.

I happen to have a 340 with RPM Air-Gapand a Holley 650DP in my 68 Cuda

I had to use a drop cleaner, and a new stud to get it to close properly. The stud was a key part, as it hit the hood before the air cleaner did and made a little dent.

ouch.....well if need be ill just cut the stud a little...thanks guys

I am using the Profession Product Cross wind and I have clearance with a 2" filter element and a flat filter base. I am using a 3" filter now with a dropped base and have clearance. This is on a 68 Barracuda.
