Looking for Filter Material Ideas for Air Cleaner

Check these out from Walker Performance. I bet you can give them a call and they will make something for you.

You can always take it off when showing the car. I heard about these after Mike Finnegan used one on his 1955 Chevy gasser named "Blasphemi".

FYI fly eye wont fit under stock SS hood.

There has to be some fiberglass filter or a piece of nomex

The flat ones that Motion used? I don't mean a velocity stack.

[cook_dw]

Yes. I have tried. It hits the hood.. Might could cut the bottom down to allow it to drop further over the carb but as is it hit on my old 67.

Found on the interweb. I don't know the part number.

Those "foam" filters are not only dangerous, but really like performance.

That velocity stack with the foam was second worst of the 19 air cleaners they tested, killed 72.4Hp and they felt it was a restriction with much more then a 300Hp engine. They didn't test that style of Fly eye, but I could see it hurting some major Hp too.

Seems getting the air UP away from carb and then a straight direct shot down the venturis is the best for Hp. That last one above is just an abomination. But if you need filtration and have limited hood clearance?????

I tried to watch this again and it looks like you can't watch them now without being a subscriber. I bought a set of those velocity stacks with the foam inserts and they don't seem to work very well. I'm looking at https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g3006 now and wondering if they are better. I wish I could watch that video again.

James,

Maybe check with Universal Spinners in Toronto. He builds custom drop base filters for racers and guys with big blocks that want to fit air filters under the hood, and also does custom filters. I had him build a drop base filter to fit under the hood of my 55 years ago and loved his stuff.

Here's the link to his site.

I was playing around with installing a small air filter inside of a fly eye.
It fits under the fly eye top screen

I was thinking of cutting the base of the small air filter to fit it inside the fly eye to hold everything in place but have not tried that yet.
