What is an open element air cleaner?
|
Like on a hot rod, a base, filter element and cover, with no housing like you painted. They are not what you really want on one of these, the snorkel is designed to quiet the air flowing into the carb and when you kick the secondaries open it is loud. I am not sure if it will work on these but some of the old Chevy's you could flip the cover and it would leave the element open, but there was a lot more clearance under a hood than under the dog house cover.
If you get some cool air into the carb it will help the engine run cooler and stronger. That is on my to do list, so if you beat me to it post some pictures.
