Air/Cleaner Filter option

I'm running a 350 in a 85 T/A with 82-84 hood. Also running a Quick fuel carb with electric choke. What are my air filter options? Can I run a regular 14" with 2" filter or do I need a drop base style? Any input would be helpful.
Thanks

Re: Air/Cleaner Filter option

With the typical 1-1/2" drop base, you can run a 14"x3" air filter.

Unless your intake manifold is particularly tall, or you're running a carb spacer or adapter.
