I had a twin carb unit from motor city that I sold a month ago as I replaced it with a Hexagon tool air cleaner. I can't think of the company but they are out in california, I believe that they make another style without the name. As soon as my old brain can remember I will re post it.

Back in the day there were a bunch of different manufacturers of intake manifolds and they all probably have some differences in dimensions. Edmunds stuff fit Edmunds & so on.

Vintage speed web-site has pictures of the two that I am aware of (I don't know if he has them available though). They can be made to fit most dual manifolds.

Dayum - that motor's PURDY!!

Thanks! Gets lots of coments from fellow Flathead lovers with the hexagon intake, now with the air cleaner it should really be cool looking. The motor is a bit lonely now though with the car getting ready for a new paint job

Charlie Price in Florida use to sell a remake of the Edmunds cleaner for the close fitting carbs. I think his business is Vintage Speed.

What is the color code for the gold you use for the engine. I love the look of the engine I am planning to paint mine the same. There are so many type of gold hard to decide.

Thanks

Hey Frenchy, The gold color is from Pasti-cote #223 universal gold. Got mine from the Car Quest store in stone. I like the color also, good luck!

[Tom's36coupe]

That would be Plasti-Kote, sorry can't type!

O'Brien over on the HAMB casts a big oval one that is basically a blank canvas for what you need...it can be drilled for whatever carb spacing you have. It is meant to be used with the little hotrod filters hidden inside, not a good idea IMHO, but it is big enough for some adapting to a real aircleaner. KN has a size chart of filters so you could hunt either a big oval one or two single ones big enough not to work as chokes.

Jan,
Why would you hide those wonderful carbs under one big hat?

[jan bogert]

Mike, you convinced me. and from what i've seen, i looks like the carbs just breath in the hot air comming off the intake, from the bottom of the cleaner. i didn't see any that were open on the sides.thet the cleaner element is exposed.

Pretty easy to fab one up also. No bending required for this style and they use a K&N off the shelf reusable filter.
Just cut the number of holes in the bottom that you require.

[jan bogert]

PETE, thats what i was looking for. the sides open for good breathing, and i want to get away from these small elements.

[Bruce Lancaster]

Here's a K&N dimensonal chart: http://www.knfilters.com/search/universal.aspx
Pick a filter, build a can.
I would also go through the site and try to find OEM application of the chosen filter, just in case you need to find a replacement at the K-Mart in East Overshoe.

If you have enough hood clearance, you easily double up on the filter elements also.
