[TRADERMIKE 2012]

I could not find an Air cleaner, with the extra filter at the top of the Air filter, in the aftermarket, so I decided to modify my own, here is the drilled version. I perimeter glued two layers of metal screen diagonally across under the inner lid, to keep the debris out, as well. Other than re-jetting the Tri-power Carbs., in the past, for the upgraded Cam and because I raised the Carbs. about an inch, with a spacer under each and upgraded the Power Piston and Valve in the center Carb. Now, when I drive the car, it is leaner and I don't have to smell the rich fumes or look at black on the inside of the Exhaust pipes. Once, I backed up into a Disabled parking spot on Deerfield Beach Fl., at a restaurant, where people were eating and I had my fat tires on that day, half the people complained and the half were stoked by the fat tires, the stoked ones are car guys, the other half better not go to the Drags. I think I may get better Volumetric efficiency (VE) and with the remanufactured Heads, coming soon, I expect to pass the antipollution standards for 1967, if they had such standards?

One day when this Vehicle gets the new Black paint and Decals, I will buy new rubber for these fat tires. When I bought this second hand project, the former owner had purchased these fat rims and installed the fat tires on them, by the time it sat in his warehouse, over many years, the soft race rubber went dry rot, what a shame, at least I have the custom one-off rims he sold me on.
