    Chevy truck "Standard" air cleaners. Well the housings anyway. The paper element I found one that fits. The story on these is they are what the 216s came with stock, they had a copper mesh element in them. The reason they are rare is most everyone ditched them for a oil bath air cleaner.

    Work in progress. I'm about to mount the carburetors as soon as I find some fittings for the fuel line and some to plug up some unused holes.

    They're on there! Tomorrow is the hunt for fittings and figure out the linkage bit all over again for the second time. About to blow my brains out over the dang linkage not fitting past the fentons.

    It took me about four hours of bend, fit, bind, bend again, fit, bind, cuss, bend again, etc. to get the throttle rod linkage to work with Fentons and one carb. Can't wait to try it with triples!

    Yep! did take me a couple of hours bending and sanding but got it done.
    The finished product looks like crap but you can't see it behind the fentons.

    Tomorrow I'll break bad and go buy some dang fuel line cause the scraps didn't hold up too well. Now I have gas all over my damn engine. I just stopped after that. LOL! Too much carb drama for the day.

    It was pretty fun doing all the bends. Next time I'm gonna do something crazy with the line. Almost there just a few things left and I can get this thing on the road.
