air cleaner

>>If you'll find a used crinkle finish "Road Runner" air cleaner (or a new 
>>repro one from Mopar Perf), use the base plate on it instead of what's 
>>with the '67 air cleaner you purchased.  Then you'll have the base plate 
>>for the Holley sized center hole PLUS and incognito open element air 
>>cleaner as there will be about 3" of unrestricted access around the bottom 
>>of the air cleaner for air to get into the carb via the normal (for the 
>>car) air filter (same diameter, but taller than what the RR air cleaner 
>>uses).  Looks stock, until you realize there's no baseplate all the way to 
>>the outer edge of the air cleaner housing, but not everyone will catch 
>>that.  Whoops!  Secrets revealed . . .
