    Ok who makes a plain chrome air cleaner like the mr gasket one at the parts store with good chrome? I have bought a couple from the parts store and they last about 6 months and start rusting. I keep them clean and polished and they still rust. I don't mind spending some cash I just hate to do it on more junk. It is 14" for a 4 barrel.

    Find one of your liking and have it professionally re-chromed.

    Buy one of the repops at Long Island Corvette Supply, Ecklers etc. Good quality and no names stamped into them. I have had no issues with any from LICS. Order the one for the 66 as I have oredered 3 for myself or other customers

    Might be better than Chinese chrome,the Edelbrock I had has a "Made in Taiwan" sticker on it. :confused: Ol' Vic says "made in America", maybe we have a 52nd state we don't know about:rolleyes:
