Aftermarket Air Filter for 2bbl BBD Carburetor Solved

[My Grandpa’s 66]

I thought that I would share with others that may be in a similar situation... My Poly 318 has the BBD carburetor (which I just rebuilt), but the original air cleaner housing has vanished through the years. I tried some from Edelbrock with different adapters, but all still sat too tall and interfered with the Coronet's hood. For those in need of an air filter option, or just want to add some chrome (it may not get you home, but it always adds at least 50hp, right?) I found the following inexpensive set up worked perfectly (and for under $40).

Spectre Performance SPE-4760 Air Cleaner​

Amazon product ASIN B00062ZDIG​

Mota Performance A10200 Air Cleaner Adapter 5-1/8" To 2-5/8" Neck Heat Resistant ABS Plastic Amazon product ASIN B002ZMFXFS

What car is this in, clearance to hood?
