Why not cut the base from an air cleaner that will fit the new carb then cut & graft it on to your original. This way you will get to keep the original appearance of the engine bay.Just a thought.

I picked up my '59 Imperial from it's engine rebuild and new Edelbrock 600CFM carburetor. The car is running as smooth as glass, but when I got it home I noticed a very strange air cleaner on it, and my old Carter carb was not in the car. I went back to the mechanic to get my old carb and air cleaner, and after quite a bit of searching one of the mechanics finally came over holding my original air cleaner, and they packed my old Carter into the new Edelbrock box. It seems they had put on an air cleaner from an old Chevy truck they were working on also. There was one glitch however. My old air cleaner is now too narrow to fit over the Edelbrock carburetor. I'm going to look for one of those chrome plated Edelbrock after market air cleaners for it tomorrow, and I looked at one today, but it did not fit down over the carb, so it will need the adapter rings under it to raise it up. This is hopefully a temporary solution, since I don't want the engine looking like some kids attempt to make a hot rod. Does anyone know if there is an adapter ring which would make it possible to use my original air cleaner?
