Brake Booster Install - Room for Air Cleaner? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bluec10 · 08-13-2009, 03:24 PM

Here are some pics of my partially complete brake booster install. There isn't room for both the booster and the stock air cleaner on. Any ideas/solutions? Is this the right booster?

**john** · 08-13-2009, 03:28 PM

6 cyl with boosters had a offset air cleaner. Maybe someone has a pic.

bluec10 · 08-13-2009, 03:46 PM

It would be great to see a pic.

Found a pic courtesy of bowtietruck.

mclairmo · 08-13-2009, 04:29 PM

That looks like a very restrictive air cleaner assembly. Are there any better flowing options out there?

Tx Firefighter · 08-13-2009, 05:50 PM

There are all manner of open element air cleaners available if you feel the factory offset one is too restrictive. But, keep in mind, we are talking about an inline 6 cylinder engine that won't ever see north of 4K RPM. That doesn't require much of an air cleaner.

PanelDeland · 08-13-2009, 09:59 PM

The heads on a 6 flow like mmmmooooolllllllllaaaaassssseeeeessss and the carb will probably flow more CFM than they do.It don't take much to feed air to a 6.I think a 4-6 in air filter would be plenty.

BCOWANWHEELS · 08-13-2009, 10:29 PM

Use a delco booster rather than a bendix. Its smaller in diameter.LIKE CPNE HAS

**passthebuck** · 08-13-2009, 10:33 PM

My offset oilbath aircleaner. I thought they were pretty good for flow.

pritch · 08-13-2009, 10:37 PM

This is what I have-it's a little different style than what's been shown:

bluec10 · 08-13-2009, 10:51 PM

So...does anyone know where I can get one of those air cleaners? Another question - are the after market alternatives that come to mind?

PanelDeland · 08-14-2009, 08:27 AM

Here's mine with the smaller booster and a 8-10 in air cleaner.Forgive me the rusty Air filter housing,it's been taken care of since the pic.
BTW this is a 250 though i believe they are about the same demensions as a 292.

Blue71LWB · 08-14-2009, 12:00 PM

K&N makes an offset airfilter base.

This may help. Zac

Blue71LWB · 08-14-2009, 12:01 PM

now looking, this may not work on the MonoJet.

Mike J · 08-14-2009, 01:41 PM

I need one of those too. I have a new power disk conversion waiting to go on, and I bought my truck missing the aircleaner assembly (it's a '68 with a 250)

This may be the answer. I'll look into it. Thanks Zac.

bluec10 · 08-15-2009, 02:28 PM

Anyone know where I can get one of the offset stock intakes?

...offset stock "air cleaners"???
I will have one coming out of the powdercoater soon. It should be trick. I will try & post pics when done. It may be forsale. An old original one just sold on the parts board for $125. Still interested?

ERASER5 · 08-15-2009, 11:13 PM

Aw just strap a cone type filter on the carb and add a wing on the back and the truck will suddenly be fast!

I just bought one on e-bay, so hopefully it will turn out to be good. Post it anyway and let me know when you do just in case the one I bought doesn't work out. Thanks for your help.
