Please run a real air filter. Those triangle foam things are mullet-wearing Chivvy-boy filters!

the air filter lol....i have a moroso 14" drop base to match my originally gold anodized valve covers - i stripped the VCs to bare aluminum and lightly polished them. look much better now, i hated the gold so much, i actually had them painted wrinkle black, and eventually stripped that to paint them orange - bare aluminum looks much nicer - maybe when i have a bit of extra money i'll get some chrome ones and a new chrome air cleaner too

this is a good story, for anyone who wants to make fun of me. got a new holley double pumper, everything hooked-up, but my air cleaner wouldn't fit, it kept hitting on the carb, so it wasn't sitting down on the flange. so, went to the parts store and bought the air cleaner they had i KNEW would fit and it fit just fine, but with as crappy as my car was running then, had a pop through carb that melted the foam, so i thought "i'm gonna try my real air cleaner again" - and it fit for some reason on my previous holley, it didn't matter how the base plate was situated, but with this carb, the base plate has to be on a certain way, due to the longer fuel bowls i guess...anyhow, dumb me. got a replacement foam element for this one, as i kind of like it, but i would much rather run the moroso. but, i haven't finished stripping and cleaning it up yet - that's the story of how i ended up with that pro-flo.

i feel one-step up from chevy mullet guys, though - i found a pic somewhere that a guy didn't read the instructions, or didn't care and just drilled a hole through the filter, and used a large flat washer and a nut to use the carb stud to hold it down
