I am wondering if any of you have dealt with this before... Just put a Holley 4011 carb ( 800cfm ) on my fairly stock 1974 350.
Now with the additional height of the carb i cant use the origanal air cleaner ( that is if I wanna close the hood ) I put a little edelbrock air cleaner on it... the one with the foam filter, and it is crap. When it rains that foam becomes a big sponge. None of the parts stores here stock aftermarket filters.. so its a hit and miss situation since I would have to order one and try it. I took the foam out of the edelbrock one, and I am just using the screen mesh right now. It seems to keep cats and small children out of the carb.:crazy but thats about it. Any ideas other than a new hood... or a sawzall ;help
