Motion air cleaner thread

Ok I read that thread.. confusing... looks like there were many different versions fo these made.. nevertheless, is $250 for one of these too much to pay???? I also will need a fly wing T for mounting it.. where can I get one of those.. will this fit on a Holley 650? what about the dangers of carborator backfire.. I read about.. dont want to put one of these on my car and have it ignite

They surely don't do much for cleaning the incoming air. They will fit a 650, or ay holley 4 bbl for that matter. $250 is a bit pricey without the mounting pieces. I personally would hold out for a complete one. 30 is alot for one guy to have, but he does not have the market cornered. And yes, they will go up in flames. I personally prefer the factory open element.

no mystery here boys, they are mine.. they are real and are NOS in the box.

I have seen two styles of clips some round rod and some with the flat clips and that is in old magazine pics and what I have seen on cars. both are correct, both were mass produced and sold as cheap'o air cleaners, but as we know most flamed up and were tossed in the garbage can....you do the math, how many are left??? crap edgy units sell for 100 125... so a perfect new one is worth????

the price is very fair for a nos piece of chrome, price some of the other crap we need for our cars and if its NOS its not cheap, anyone have a NOS '67 SS Camaro air cleaner for 300??? I will take it in a heartbeat. hell these were mass produced they cant be worth the metal there made of right???

not sure where the quantity of 30 came from...I had a box of 9 and that was it.

the box is US mail dated and it was not last week.

discuss this all you want, dont matter to me,

Edelbrock has the exact brackets for these, if a 3 dollar bracket breaks it for you, keep on shopping.

Can I get an Amen..... :
I had pretty good luck with these air cleaners...They'll usually light up if you let them go too long without changing or cleaning the foam filter,due to fuel and dust residue in the foam filter--Every now and again if I didn't change the filter,--I would take the foam filter out and dunk it in a bucket of water ----you can add some mr clean or similar grease cutter if you want , squeeze out the excess water and put the filter back .--It seemed to work....

amen, father Denis.

I would not run the foam, I have suggested to the guys to run screen door mesh, thats my plan when I slap one on, no worries about having a problem then I would think???

oh and there 300 not sure where 250 came from, just so we dont have someone upset down the road.
