This air cleaner assembly never came from the factory on any
Cougar, but was an over the counter option available from your Ford dealer. If
you have a very nice hood blanket I would think twice before using it in conjunction
with this air cleaner assembly as it will leave an imprint. To avoid this problem with
small block cars you can use a lower profile carburetor spacer, but on big
block cars this is not an option due to the already thin design of the factory
carburetor spacer. This will work with all single 4 barrel carburetors as well
as all single 2 barrel carburetors. The
assembly measures 21" x 10" and consists of a deluxe chrome wing nut, finned
aluminum lid, filter, threaded carburetor stud, stamped steel base, and a carburetor
collar.
*Tip* With this oval air cleaner you can emulate the
look of our much more expensive "Walking Cat" oval air cleaner.
Measure 5-7/8" from the tip of the lid and mill / grind flat an area of
the ribbed center section that is about 1-3/4" long. Mask off the raised
unpainted areas on the lid and paint it with black crinkle paint. Then, bolt on
this "walking
cat" emblem. When you're done, you will have the look of our high
dollar "Walking Cat" oval air cleaner at a substantial savings.
21" deep by 10" wide by 2 1/2" tall, the spacer is 1.5" tall as well
