Thread: Opinion on air cleaners anyone?

the six lids looks more for the older look i like it

Yep, I like the six individual ones too. Another thought, how about 6 individual scoops? I know they don't filter worth a d***, but they sure look great! Besides, occasional rain down the carbs tends to remove carbon deposits.

Here is a setup Gastrick is going to use on the 392 Hemi he is transplanting into his Deuce. Tell me this doesn't yell HOT ROD!!!

yes i like them more just was digging thru the old photos to find the 6 set up on the old hemi with them on it

i like the six also. really shows off a great engine.

The six individual ones are kind of the "standard" for a '50s look, and do point up the presence of the six carbs, though personally I like the Stellings & Hellings helmet style better. These little guys are notorious for poor air flow though, and the six pack assembly probably breathes better. A K&N (or quality clone) cotton filter element will help with airflow and can be had for both the big and small housings. Then there's the scoop type that Gastrick has on his hemi in the other thread going on putting a hemi in a deuce. They also make nice little disc shaped filters that fit at the base of those......that would give you more of a competition look (think Garlits carbed engines of the mid '50s)
