Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Added a new air breather. Though I do like the stock look of the original, I like the sound better of the new one. It's not like I can look at the stock cleaner driving down the road but I can hear the new one suck in more air - especially when the Quadrajet kicks in when I go WOT!
Zoom!
PS: I think the previous owner lost the Air Cleaner rod (its a 1/4 20) that is 6 inches. It had to be really loose on the carb to even get a bite on the stock cleaner wing nut. The new one, no joy at all on getting a bite. O'Riley's didn't have anything and Lowe's only had the same 6 inch rod. So I bought that 6 inch road and a bag of couplers for some shade tree engineering. I sawed off the new rod from Lowes, put the rods together with a coupler, added extra nuts on either side with loctite it keep things from coming loose. It kind of looks "nuts" under the cover but as you can see I actually now have a bit of rod sticking up (before on the stock it was barely flush).
