Hot Rods Short Edmunds Air Cleaners on Flathead?

My brain hurts from all the threads I've been reading about air cleaners on a flathead. I know the small ones can choke down the carb due to lack of airflow. Is anybody running the short round Edmunds air cleaners? How do they flow? I know Obrien's is selling them so I ASSume they are ok to use?

 

Geez, using that for logic do me a favor and don't look on Big Daddy Don Garltis store site.

Fun aside, I am sure they will be fine. Just one or multiple carbs/air cleaners

 

Oooh, oooh I want one of those Garlits specials. I be jammin'.

 

I have a pair of round Edmunds air cleaners on my 59A powered roadster. They work quite well, they look good, and have very little air restriction. The ones I have were made by Bruce Dahl a few years ago.

 

I might grab a couple and give them a shot. I'd just get the tall ones, but I don't have the room

 

I have run them on my coupe for 4 years and 18,000 miles, no problems at all !
