Very good question regarding the air cleaner.The purpose could be said (logically) to get cooler air from the front of the engine.....but the plenum looked kind of like the McCulloch supercharger in the 1954 Packard Panther so I gave it a shot...love it or hate it...there is significant vibration though that did separate the filter from the tube so I removed it...the clamp doesn't hold well...the weight distribution is questionable with the plenum heavier than the filter (no support) but it seems ok...It has a Joe's Racing 8 inch 1/4-20 air cleaner stud...but once I put the Holley air cleaner gasket on, everything slid back and forth due to the vibration...correct assumption the carb pot metal might not hold up...I removed everything and put the O'Brien Truckers air cleaner back on...it has their Carter WCFB adapter to 5 1/8 carb air horn/flange/neck and fits nicely.
