    Does anyone know of an adapter of some sort to mount a generic 2 5/8" air cleaner to a Holley 94? The 94 I have looks like the one shown on the left in this picture, which I guess is unique to the 6cyl, the filter slides down to the v-shaped portion on the neck so I have nothing to secure it to.

    Eventually I'm swapping in a SBF with Strombergs so just looking for an inexpensive solution till then. If I can't find an adapter, I'll probably just use a section of rubber tube connector and some hose clamps.

    Either cut a round piece of plastic pipe and use as a spacer or a thick piece of rubber . You just need something to hold the air cleaner on . If not you can use a piece of sheet metal to use as a spacer to lat flat on the carb and set the bigger air clear on it as a bottom bigger spacer . Heck you can use just about anything to make a spacer to mount that air cleaner on that odd carb .

    Most guys just take the top off and chuck it up in a lathe and turn it down to 2 5/8", simple enough to do.
