In order to use the original 4-barrel air cleaner with the 4 7/32" opening, I'm thinking of replacing my Edelbrock top cover (with the 5 1/8" inlet) with one from an earlier AFB with the 4 7/32" inlet. Design is similar and it looks like it would work but am I missing something? Anybody done it?

Have you had any luck finding air filter to carb gaskets? ( besides making one?).... I suck at making them.....

The circular gasket? I just cut/snip/add as required for the circle I need & join the ends & glue em with a touch of super glue on the bottom of where the ends meet so above that point is still pliable & can be lightly crushed for a good seal.

If you use an Edelbrock 1405/06 it's no problem at all. It is a 1406. What's unique about them compared to others?

I don't know the answer to your question. But is there a later model air cleaner base that will fit your air cleaner top with the larger opening? I have both 67 and 68 air cleaner bases and have had luck solving this problem by switching bases. Yes their are.. I found one at a wrecking yard in case I want to use a newer carb on my car with my stock Air cleaner...

I have 750 carters with the old AFB tops on them. Yes, they fit 600's, 750's and 800's. I build clones of all 3 sizes but for nearly anything streetable the 600's are plenty.
