I have the Holly 2300 2 barrel carb but really should change the air cleaner. The PO put a mini cleaner on there but I don't think it does much good. I can't seem to find a low profile cleaner that will fit. What are those of you with that carb using?
I don't have a stock anything in my truck really, but were it me, I'd get a stock air cleaner housing, then cut the center out of the bottom half of the aftermarket, and do the same on the original and then weld the aftermarket center into the stocker.
That way you'd end up with an original looking air filter with a base to fit the 2 bbl. Probably wouldn't be able to tell afterward either.
Porkchop made an adaptor and used the stock hood mounted air cleaner. I have the adaptor now and use it on my 350 to the hood mounted air cleaner which I fastened to the fender instead of the hood.
Still mad at myself for giving that up :mad:. I did find another Huey part like the one you have and will be making the adapter again. Just need to find a hood mounted air cleaner that's cheap.
Memphis is selling them for $25+shipping. Better than the $100+shipping they used to be.
I still can't believe I bought it from you Bryant and then traded it to Kwai. But, it was too tall for the Big block to hood clearance.
Seriously, cutting up the stock cleaner and changing bases works great for several members. The fender mount idea is really neat too.
Great idea! Never though of it. I have seen many of these air cleaners pass by on e-bay.Quote:

Memphis is strange that way. They had an item on e-bay that I needed but missed the sale. No one bought it so I called and the price was double. He told me each item has an online price and a catalog price and to wait till it was online again. Crazy but thats how they operate.Quote:

The memphis $25 price is on ebay. They are busy clearing out all their m715 parts. I expect they will all be gone in a year or two.

Do you remember what year astro the air cleaner you used was from?
