I am just finishing up the final stuff on my conversion, electrical, fans,
plumbing etc. I have purchased a Mr. Gasket Low Rider air filter and upon
fitting it is very, very close to the bonnet. I am restricted in that I can'
t drop the engine anymore due to having to clear the steering pinion and the
block style headers. Some time ago there was a posting about squashing the
air filter a bit. I am reluctant to do this without further information. I
don't want to mess up a new part. Has any one any idea how I might go about
this. I thought about a 1 > air filter instead of the 2" one but I am unable
to find one. It would drop the surface area of the air filter from 66 sq
inch's to 55 sq inch's if in fact I could find one. Another option I have
heard about is getting the intake or carb planned off a bit. But this is
beyond my expertise. How much clearance do I really need between the air
filter and the bonnet?
I have checked the archives with no luck.
