Post by Mo Power » Sun Jun 01, 2008 1:09 am

Ok the guy I bought my roadrunner from has a 4bbl air cleaner which looks excatly like the six pack but without 3 holes for each carb. And I didn't even know they had just plain 4bbl cleaners like that and was wondering if the dimensions are same like the top lid and the base. I'm going to buy it anyways since I've been looking for one since I liked Mopars oval air cleaners :D .

I purchased one that I think was on a 69 RR. It is too high for my hood clearance with the airgrabber. My brother has offered to cut it down for me, but I would have to kill him. I am going to start looking for the 71-72 lower air cleaner base plate.

At one time someone posted pictures of the low profile one.

Well what is the opening for the carb hole? Because I'm wondering now if it will sit on a Edelbrock 650cfm because I not sure what size the Thremoquads openings were.

Dang it I was hoping you had an extra because I would love to have an air grabber in the sometime future and I would need it .
