tanny Posted May 21, 2003 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2003 I've been looking at this 1973 flat top air cleaner(I am running webers but the flat top setup came as spare parts with the car) and there are 3 wing bolts that hold down the top of the air cleaner. The center bolt screws into the base housing, but the two outside bolts don't have anything to screw into and don't even reach the base housing. Since I have never seen this air cleaner attached, what are the two outside wing bolts supposed to screw into? Thanks, Victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guycali Posted May 21, 2003 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2003 On my '72, there are only two wingnut bolts for the air cleaner. Each wingnut bolt screws into a hex extension (14mm?) that is about 1" in extension length with 1/2" screw length and secures the air cleaner base into one side of each carb.HTH,-Guycali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanny Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share #3 Posted May 21, 2003 Even though the 72 has a different air cleaner, that sounds like what I was thinking had to be there, but unfortunately I would bet a fitting like that would be hard to come by in the hardware store. I'd better try to get to some junkyards. Thanks, Victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
