Just replaced the tired old motor in my 69 mach1 this a nice fresh 351W, engine sits the same hight, but I am running an Edelbrock Victor Jr manifold along with an edelbrock performer series carb with electric choke. Now just looking at this thing I could tell the stock air filter is not going to fit. I need a real low profile air cleaner/filter that will work! I have very little room, and I really don't want to cut my hood! I am looking for options! Any sugestions?

BTW! Happy 4th!

i paid $10 at orillies and got a chrome air filter, shorter then stock and looks good

I have a low profile Holley foam filter on my Mach. Got to Autozone or the like and get one. It's chrome and triangular in shape. I think it is called the Holley Pro-Flo or maybe thats Edelbrocks anyway, Holley and Edelbrock both make one that is basically the same.

I had one of those foam filters for a while until my Holley backfired one day and caught it on fire. Burnt my hood but didn't harm anything else.

Take a look at this guy.

Yea, theres the drop base too. However, the 1.25" drop will not fit carbs with electric chokes. Do you have a spacer on your carb? I have a 1" spacer on the Mach with a 351C and an edelbrock 4barrel intake and the pro-flo fits good. Just be careful about backfires. But not only will the backfire burn your filter but it will eat you powervalve too.

Hi, and thanks, I was about to order that K&N with the 1 1/4 drop. however my carb does have the electric choke, but if I have to use a 1 inch spacer that kind of puts me back to square one? will a 7/8 drop clear? maybe I can find a 14X2 filter element instead of 14X3?

See if anything on this chart will help.

Ok, did some measuring and I think I found a solution that works! A 7/8 drop 14" base, 2" K&N 14" filter element, K&N gause 14" filter lid to make up the lost air flow for a 2" filter element. Puts me at about 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 above the carb. I think this will work well!
