1975 Air Cleaner Question

[ranchdawg]

So I took apart the air cleaner and separated the flapper from its base. And then…I dropped it. Is it necessary? My plan is to install headers, which means the bracket for the warm air hose won’t/can’t be reinstalled. Photos below for reference and because everyone loves to look at carnage… Thanks!

Does it get cold where you are? Yes consider making/buying a fluid heat riser for the bottom of the intake manifold - will prevent carburetor icing most of the time.

I like my 72 big air cleaner. I just made a new foam element ($20) for the manny oiled foam filter I put on back in 84.

Not really. 40’s mostly, occasional 30’s.

No, block off that bottom opening, get city racers intake hose, be happy

Well it gets way colder here and lots of fog on occasion too. Climbing Hilltop here in the winter was a struggle. If it made it to the top with out choking out is was rare. Usually it was pull over and wait like 1/2 hour for the ice to melt - then on the journey.

That is what I did once I had a header on both the 2F and 155F.

Rocky Mountain winters are so much fun.

I like 4 seasons. Winter, spring, fire, and mud are the ones here.

Winters make you appreciate Summer and Summer makes you appreciate Winter.
