Hub cap air cleaner for my stove-bolt 6

Well I had one good hub cap out of what was on my car when I got it,the rest were rusted,bad-heres how I put it to use

 

The bottom is actually the top of the original air cleaner(that to was rusted,on the inside-bad)Used exhaust pipe,cut a slit in it so it can slide it on my carb and can reuse the original clamp,painted the insides w/ header paint.

 

hmmmm....id have to see it on the motor to decide

 

I feel the same,but it will get the job done for now...its a 48car w/ a 53 truck 235 in it.That hasnt been rebuilt.I have no Ideas how many miles are actually on that motor,(car is 175,000)Not to pretty in the engine compartment lol.After I put it on I will post a picture of it.

 

I've got one like that... cap is from a 55 Plymouth.

 

I've used lids from sauce-pans too.

 

Looks very cool. But... did you remember to drill a few strategically placed drain holes in the bottom half? Gary

 

alright, not quite my taste but i imagined worse in my head so i held my tongue.

i can see it though, rock on

 

i expected worse but it came out cool ..now check out the truck style air cleaner for those years and use the mesh they use on the edge and use a copper scrubbing pad as the element and you will be onto something

 

I think its tits!!!!

 

I like it.
I have one of those 5$ teacup size ones.
That is much better.
I think the mess on side would work also.

 

No I didnt,I will do that tonight,it will be under a hood,away from rain,dont plan on driving it in the rain ....but I will do so just in case.Thanks for the info

 

Love it!

 

I agree!

 

Drain holes would defeat the purpose of the air filter and allow dust to be sucked in through the drain holes. Bad idea.

I keep finding those baby moon style caps that the Semi drivers stick on their trucks and seem to loose on a regular basis and one of those might be presentable as a top for an air cleaner. I think they are pretty cheap at the truck stops too.
