Carb Clearance Issues

[65 Plymouth Satellite 426]

Is Anyone Familiar With A Ford Carb Base That Will Allow An Air Filter To Sit Lower Over The Carb? Stiles Performance Put A Spacer Between The Intake Manifold Of My Engine And The Bottom Of The Eddy Carb On My Plymouth Because Of An Overheating Problem Involving The Gas In The Carb. Evidently, It Is Heating Up The Gas. Therefore, The Base, K&N Filter And The Mopar Performance Lid Is Sitting Higher Than Normal In Reference To The Hood On My '65. Supposedly Ford Makes A Base That Fits Down Over The Carb Lowering The Whole System. Anyone Know What Ford Part Number Base Or Car/Engine Would Fit The Edelbrock 600-750 CFM Carb?

They are called drop base air cleaners. Very popular. I do not have a part number for you.

as long as your k&n top is 14 inch you can use any 14 inch drop base air cleaner and just use your top.even the really cheep ones from oreilly and such will work.

Is O'Reilly's The Only Place To Get These? No O'Reilly's Around Here!

Any autoparts store should have them.

I bought an edelbrock one from Advance Auto Parts works good. Or try a salvage yard should have a bunch of different ones. Try all the local auto parts stures.

You want a drop base air cleaner? This will swallow the whole carb -

Part # 302-350 13" Ford Racing drop base air cleaner. Had to buy the whole air cleaner for the base to lower my unsilenced factory air cleaner
