Lets see custom made or modified air cleaners.

I love this look, Good Will here I come.

 

All good stuff! Not trying to high jack the thread but do you have more pix of your build? Maybe in another thread?

 

Lots of cool stuff on here. I thought it would be appropriate to include a photo of the often copied Olds/Cad aircleaner in its natural habitat with vintage Offenhauser finned valve covers on a 324.

 

Love where this is going. I'm hitting Pick a part tomorrow with hopes to find something I can modify!

besides looking cool does that air cleaner serve a porpos since the top is wide open?

 

Heres my pot lid air cleaner still need to make a base

 

I set it on to check the corect hold down bolt top is on the filter now !!!!!

 

Made in New Zealand.

 

Added a snorkel.

 

This is my latest attempt. I used 1/2 inch aluminum and cut the holes in the base plate with a 3 inch hole saw, then I used that saw to cut three circles in the top 1/4 inch deep and then used a 1/8th X 3/8ths X 3" disc cut-off wheel in my drill press to grind out the centers. Cut the grooves on my table saw in the top piece and used the hole cut outs from the base for the top hold down " nuts ". The filters are NAPA filters that are about 2 & 1/4 inches high by 4 & 1/4 dia. I also have some Hastings filters ( # AF-158 ) that are about one inch taller that look nice. It was one of those " what am I gonna do today " moments on a crapy "spring" day. It took a couple of days to do it but I've got lots of time and the cost was about 50 bucks including the filters.

 

a little OT but i need another one of these:
found a picture of it in an OLD Midwest cataloge.

 

Here's the taller filters.
