Hi, has anybody got a chrome 14" air cleaner fitted to there 3rd gen??? what size filter 2" OR 3" as the filter supplied is an 1 1/2"??? in depth, mine has TBI system.. Help... cheers Jason

Does your filter have the "dropped base" ie how much lower than the mountinmg flange is the base that the element sits on? If possible you want to fit a 3" as it'll cause less air restriction for the engine, cheers...Nige

Hi Nige, Thanks for the reply, the base plate sits fine with plenty of clearance from the coil
and the linkages, I measured it all last night and I need a 3" filter which should still clear the
hood when it is lowered. I rang USA automotive were the filter came from and explained the
problem, the only thing they have is a 14" edelbrock element which is to big for the base
plate, or one measuring 13" 15/32 which is 7.9mm smaller than the filter supplied with the kit
so it will fit the base, I dont know if I should buy this and try it or return the lot and forget it,
as it will have cost about £80 for a chrome air cleaner!!!, what do you think?

SORTED , I bought a separate Pro Gauge 3" filter from automotive, and the lot fits like a glove and looks great, not cheap though at £76

...Cheers Jason. , The filter looks black in the photo, but is chrome.
