Looking for a filter housing that will work with HEI, 72 S 350 sbo
Thanks, John

 

You can cut the back out of a stock one to fit. You can also get one from a 74-77 and will fit as is. I have one from a 77 I would sell for $25 plus shipping. The only problem with the 74-77 is that the hot air pipe will not work because the snorkel comes out the wrong side.

 

Here are a couple pictures of a stock one I cut in the 90s. You could box it back in with the part you cut out with a little fab work.

 

Or you can buy a plain ol 14x3 chrome top'd open air cleaner.

 

Or you can leave your point ignition intact, and maybe add an aftermarket electronic pickup, like a Crane or Pertronix, if you really need to have something electronic under your hood.

I have the chrome breather on it now, looks out of place with everything else black and gold. HEI was already installed when I purchased the motor. Jensen, I'll take it how do you want payment? BTW converted to electric choke

 

Scotch-brite and black paint would take care of that chrome if you really feel the need.

 

i have a 74 =77 filter assy also if anyone else reads this thread and wants one.

 

Looks like you will need to go with lunaboys air cleaner. After looking at the one I have, I think it is for an older toronado or something. The indention is not large enough for the HEI like the 74-77 is.

 

I put a spacer between the air cleaner and the carb and it worked great. No problem with the hood closing. It was about 20 years ago and was a simple solution. I am sure somebody still makes the spacer. It was so long ago, I bought it at Supershops.
