will a TBI air cleaner fit a carb

I have pretty much given up on finding an L69 air cleaner for my 84 trans am. Looking at standard OEM air cleaner setups because I'm not a fan of aftermarket open element filters. And if I manage to find a L69 lid I can swap it on.

Most air cleaners I see for a good price are for TBI cars. will that fit a carburetor? I have a edelbrock 1406.

Flange is the same diameter; problem will be, the top of the carb interfering with the base.

thanks. that is a bummer, the TBI air cleaner setups are about 1/2 the cost.

They are half the cost but 100 times more garbage. Take a look at some of the spectra carb bonnets. Try a search or two as well, there are quite a few threads about this topic.
