Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner
General
The heavy-duty air cleaner consists of a cylindrical
housing, typically mounted to a bracket off the upper
valve cover screws, and connected with a formed
rubber hose to an adapter on the carburetor or throttle
body/intake manifold (EFI units). The air cleaner
housing contains a paper element and inner element,
designed for longer service intervals. The system is
CARB/EPA certified and the components should not be
altered or modified in any way.
