We at ZTherapy have a new customer in NJ who would like to source an earlier aircleaner to go with his new hotroddious maximous carbs. I said I'd post for him as he's not on any forums. We find him one maybe we can get him to come by and play...... Shoot me an email if you have something and I can get you hooked up.....

And thanks for your support......

Bruce - speaking of early air cleaner boxes, any chance you could poke Steve to send me the rubber seals for one that we talked about in June 08?

As they stand and disregarding the carbs, the first set by virtue of having attaching hardware is worth well more than the second. If one has the attaching hardware then not so much.

Doug, consider Steve poked!!

Steve says the ever-illusive air cleaner seals still are. He has come up with none since you and he talked. Sounds like it's time to make something work.

Bruce,

Thanks, I hope you did not hurt Steve too badly Since I have nothing right now, something would definately be better! Anything you guys can do would be appreciated

Our customer didn't get the ebay aircleaner so he is still looking for one.

There were two - one with Carb's that sold for $125.00 mol..

and a second air cleaner box only that has a Buy-it-now of $100.00

What is your customer expecting to pay for the air cleaner box?

A complete set of used SU's is worth more than $125.00 aren't they? In which case the air cleaner box that was with that set was free (Yes/No?)

Just curious...

Bruce,

I thought Ztherapy sold restored air cleaners? Is this guy just looking for one to use as a core for one of yours? Also, you said "early" but the ebay ads were for the later style (1971-72) with the summer/winter flap and pre-heater hose. Is he looking for one of those, or the 1970 style without that? I have a couple of the 1971-72 versions if that is what you are looking for.

Yep, the first one with the carbs was a smoking deal, while the second, without the attaching hardware might make a geranium planter.

We grudginly sell reconditioned air cleaners but the cost of doing them vs the $300 we charge still doesn't make it a worthwhile venture. The cost of getting one straightened, cleaned of oil so the BC/CC will stick, try and find gaskets etc. just makes building carbs a lot more attractive.

The customer in question is doing a flat top conversion and I suggested he go for an earlier round mouth aircleaner to match up to his soon to be round mouth carbs. The flat top aircleaner is just about as attractive as everything else flat top, plus has the square mouth to the carb.

But we still don't know—does he care if the airbox has the summer/winter flapper? If not, there are lots around. As noted above, Mike B said he may have a couple of 'em.

I have one. I didn't want to separate it from the carbs but I will not bother with EBay either. If he still needs one contact me.
