• What is the best hipo reproduction air cleaner currently available, and where? It makes my head hurt when I look at all of the different options. I took the stock one off to preserve it, and want a good one to use for shows and driving. I also need an air cleaner to carb gasket(4100). Any input? Thanks!

    The more expensive repros have a decent appearance. One main difference on the top is the sharp break in the drop down from the highest plateau. The less expensive repros have a more rounded break and are obvious once you know the difference. It can truly be spotted from across the room.

    The real FoMoCo air cleaner gasket to carburetor, is much thicker than any aftermarket gaskets and they are red in color. I have them in stock but they are not cheap.

  • What do you mean by more expensive?There is only about a $5-10 difference in price between the blue bottom air cleaners, and that is from every vendor I looked at. The early double hump is twice the price.
