Rick,
I got 2" by 14" chromed filter from my local performance shop. It had no
makings on it (I took it off a display engine). It fitted my Edelbrock but
was too high. Ground down the lip which took it down quite a bit. When I
asked the maker the shop said "Dunno, could be Mr Gasket, our own brand, or
someone else - they are all the same". (Hmmmm?). One important
point! If you have fitted a choke make sure it clears - I actually used
the top from another filter as it was not dished in - thus hitting the
choke butterfly
