    From O'Brien's website...

    "Price is for one set of three air cleaners."

  4. I found some finned to air cleaners for 2300 base tri-power carbs on eBay some years back. They were quite nice with K&N style filters. No idea who the mfg was though. I looked using finned air cleaners as the search and did not find any You might try Google with a simlar search and look at any pictures that some up.

    Cal Custom or similar made some chromed air cleaners for the d based carburetors. Only saw the one set that I had about 20 years ago. Not much else available in a single unit for each carb. Otherwise, this guy makes a 1/2" spacer for the base which would give you a good start for the base and just use any top that is available.

  6. Honestly don't know of anyone else selling them (other than my dealers). And if you find someone make sure they are for Fords because one for Chevys, Mopars and Barry Grants are different - I know because I manufacture and sell air cleaners for all four applications (as well as TPI, 1 BBL and 2 BBL applications). Castings and lifetime elements are Made in the USA. And being one of the first HAMB Alliance Vendors, you get 10% off if you are supporting the HAMB by being a HAMB Alliance Member.

    Happy Truckin',

    Thanks Dennis,
    I'll be calling you in the next day or so to order a set for the ford tri-power in the truck. Plan on driving the truck even more and think they will flow air better than my custom a/c. By the way if you saw My Classic Car this past Sunday Dennis Gage featured the Merc Truck with the tri power from the Snohomish,Wa show.
