Here's a pair of Eddys on a big block of mine.

 

Well buoys, got the engine back together and decided on the dual air breathers....

Nice O'Brien Truckers air cleaners

 

Not what you expected I'm sure. 1956 Ford performance kit from the dealer parts counter. One year only. Law enforcement and racing. Dry type air filer mandated by NASCAR.

 

Where did you get these?

 

my dad bought them back in the day, he couldn't remember where. i restored them, i had them chromed and replaced the filter element.

 

here is the page of my build thread with the "restoration":

Made from extruded finned aluminum. The fins match the vette valve covers. Cross flag is from '65 fuel inj. unit.

 

EDIT-----OOPS, my apologies, I got excited about a dual carb thread and didn't realize this thread was about dual QUAD set-ups.....sorry


What a timely thread. I'm looking for a pair of these vintage Edmunds air cleaners;



I'm helping a buddy, they'll be going on these Stromberg WW backdraft style carbs that will be fitted on a 58 Packard custom project. Here's a pic of the intake;

Yep, I like finned aluminum.

 

Who sells these??

 

Henry Ford version

 

Maybe not dual quads but different, one on the right is Gennie Shifter air cleaner. Comes with fake overhead cam valve covers for a 351 ford motor.The larger one is maybe off of a boat? No name on it. Could be used with dual quads or ford try power????

 

Dennis at O'Brien Truckers, he is also an alliance vendor.

 

Deucedreamer was referring to the chrome ones in post #7. I do not see these on the O'Brian website?

 

I didn't see them either.

 

Deucedreamer. Stumbled on this site. Looks like them.

Not really "air cleaners" but these are my early afb velocity stacks

 

Is the large one off of a Mercury Marauder?430 version?

 

O'briens spark arrestors

 

Looks just like my setup sitting on the shelf; just bought the reproduction air cleaners and "correct" oil fill tube. Mine is the "early" 56 setup with the #5306 casting heads (new 1.84/1.5 valves, screw in studs, Z-28 spring kit). I finally gave up up trying to find a 56, 265 block (all were rusty/damaged/junk), so I settled for a 57, 265 block (has the provision for a block mounted starter motor and the full flow oiling). That engine in your 150 is better than ******!

Thanks for the tip, you are correct, off of a 58-59? Mercury Marauder, I just bought this last week at a swap meet, thought that it was a cool piece.
