Air cleaner ideas for a Mercedillac?

I've had good luck cutting up stock air cleaners. I make a " tootsie roll " out of clay, put it on the carb body, close hood. Open hood and inspect clay. Take the Carb Air Cleaner Stud out first ! Shoe Box Chevelles [ 64 - 67 ] had a very simple flat, air cleaner. Consider the top from one air cleaner, and the bottom of another. Replace stud with clamps from a foreign car air cleaner [ Toyota ] Use stud to secure bottom to carb, use clamp to seal top to bottom. Hope this helps Paul

You do have the option of having a remote aircleaner like they use in most modern cars. Just a hose from the carb to a box for the air cleaner. Just another idea.

If it were me I'd use two of the 6 cylinder air filters made for that car and plumb them out of the way at the front.

The twin 6 deal sounds great ! Saw on TV an intake setup where air enters in bottom of front fenders, could ducting be snaked through fender / inner fender ? I can picture a dual snorkel style ' adapter ' with oval shaped tubes connecting it to fenders.

Try the Ram Air box

How do you get a good seal where the two halves meet?
