I've thought about what to do about my old snorkel air cleaner. My body guy took it upon himself to clean it up and powder coat it the original gold color, along with the original baldy valve covers. They look great but I'm a bit concerned that the snorkel may be too **** restrictive.
I don't intend anything over 5000 rpm, so that's just under 600 cfm, but the snorkel does look puny. The ID is just over 2", and it is feeding four venturies that are 1.12". The math doesn't seem to work.
Then again I have two "log" exhaust manifolds and a 2" dual exhaust, and with the exhaust volume being some multiple of the intake volume that is probably more restrictive.Comment

This is an example of the HP air cleaners of the period-
It can be had either chromed lid (and painted bottom) or engine rocker cover color (blue or gold). It will have a tube on the bottom plate for a closed PCV system.
There are exact repros and CHI-COM available so choose wisely.
The exhaust manifolds are extremely restrictive.Comment

Yeah, one of my logs was cracked so I replaced it with an exact replica. I'm kicking myself now that I didn't spend a little extra and get a set of cast iron headers. I've always thought those were pretty cool.
I've seen those air cleaners- they are very common. However they suck air from the hot engine compartment. I think a good performance set-up would be to add a second stock snorkel to my existing air cleaner and plumb them up to twin cold air intakes positioned in front of the radiator.
Of course the ultimate cool would be to plumb-up an intake to the stock scoop, which of course would have to be opened up and made un-fake.Comment

At least for now. Maybe when my exhaust rusts out and I replace it with a larger stainless steel set I'll replace the logs with headers.Comment

For those of you who may not be aware, Wix filters are manufactured in North Carolina. They are the best that you can buy, and they are priced right.Comment
