Restoring A Chevy 350 Small-Block - Goin' Green Er, Well, Orange
|
A quick search through one of my parts cabinets turned up an el-cheapo 6-inch-diameter air cleaner assembly I thought I'd use to convert the oil-bath to a paper element. I initially thought I'd use the filter's base, cutting out the floor of the oil-bath housing and welding in the one from the chrome one. The paper filter base had a large opening for use with a modern four-barrel like a Holley or Edelbrock; however, the Rochester I'd be using had a smaller diameter, so I scrapped that idea. It worked to my advantage, though. I just tossed the small base and set the paper element right on the floor of the large air cleaner, dropped on the small chrome top, and snugged it down using a length of 1/4-20 all-thread.
