Does anybody make one that goes around the air cleaner??

Eric

 

pretty sure edelbrock does

 

The one I found from Edelbrock says it's for a TBI car with the A/C on the passenger side. The TBI part will be the same as the carb, I know, but my A/C is on the driver side? Does anyone have one of these?

 

The Jamex STB will fit carbed cars. Haven't put mine on yet (just got it, thanks nate ) but I checked and its gonna fit fine.

 

I hope that's a loveseat in that picture and not a sofa; that bar looks freakin' long. How does it fit? Does it just go underneath the air cleaner? Do you know where I can get one of those?

I've got a Holley intake with a 700CFM double pumper 4-barrel on it and a 14"x3" summit air filter. I bought and installed the HPM-3260-AB

It looks great and works awesome! Not a bad price either. the only mod I had to do was make a 1/2" spacer between the brace and the firewall (it was a 3-point brace).

 

Thanks. Do you end up having to remove the STB then every time you want to work under the hood, or can you usually work around it?

 

I usually just work around it. It doesnt take up much room. I'd take a pic, but I just got my engine back in. I'll have it all back together in a couple weeks. the only time I would have to remove it is if I wanted to work around near the back of the engine, like by the distributor.

 

not my car, but here is a pic of the bar installed

It fits great on my car, goes over top the air cleaner. I don't think Jamex is still in business, bought mine used. You could probably find one on ebay

 

I that piece goes overe the air cleaner, only the stock setup will work. If you have an air cleaner that is aftermarket and have a 3 inch element, it doesn't look like it's gonna work.

 

I have an L69 dual snorkel air cleaner. I'm not sure though how much extra room there is though above the air cleaner in the T/A.

 

I had it and sold it. It wouldn't clear the driver's side A/C compressor.

 

I found a pic of the HP Motorsport brace that I have. This isnt my car, but its got the similiar setup.

 

Thanks for the pic. I might have to go pick one of those up.

That piece looks good and stiff, not to mention it'll clear pretty much any air cleaner setup by the looks of it!

 

I bought one from an outfit in Canada, www.flatoutperformance.net , It is en route and should show up any day now.

 

I also got the STB from flatoutperformance. It should be showing
up this week sometime.

 

do the ones from HP motorsports work on a 83? most ads for the ones i see are like 85-92. i have noticed that there isnt alot of stuff for 83's.

 

The website says it will. I think the cut-off point is at 85 because the earlier carb cars have the big air cleaners that most STB won't clear.
