I just got an edelbrock open element air cleaner Deop base, Should I return it?? What is the problem with it?? Thanks

 

Problem? I have a drop base the only thing is you have to use the spacer ring. That is the only problem I could think of

Where do you get the spacer ring and how much?

 

Forget my last question cause i just looked at the jegs catalog and found it.....How high should the spacer be that will leave clearence for the hood.

 

Uh, the spacer ring is allready on your car

why not read the tech article on this subject, theres one here on thirdgen and snufilupigus wrote one, read his website

 

btw i have to update that article some of the stuff in there i didnt add and i think is corny (the cardboard part ) and some other stuff but it should be helpfull to you

 

the add is outdated, you really cant change to an open element that easy. its much harder. i wrote it before i really did it. it actually requires welding and soldering and swapping expensive parts.



joke. if you cant put and open element on after your read that article, you should mail your license back to the state.

 

funny but true

 

The tech article explains perfectly, I was able to do it in about 10 minutes with minimal automotive know how. I did find however that it is helpful to remount the IAT sensor. I mounted in through the punch out for the pcv breather. The sensor is being held in with a garden hose washer.

It took me an hour and 45 minutes of that to get damned IAT sensor off the old one. that was a biz0tch to get off!

me and my dad whizzed through ours in about 10 minutes...we actually drilled out a hole for the IAT sensor and punched out the one for the PCV(we used old radiator hose and peices of PVC to re route the PCV to the front of the air cleaner) we actually brought the wrong air cleaner....it didn't fit down and around like the stock one but it rested firmly on top of the TBI unit......so in essence we got a 3/4 to an inch riser out of the deal too hehehe
