Red Motor Vs Blue Motor Factory Air Cleaner

[Kris282]

Sorry guys if this has been covered off before. I searched the forums and could not see it anywhere.

Can I fit a 4bbl quaddie blue motor air cleaner to my HZ red 308 motor that is running a 4bbl quaddie of a blue 253? I have converted the carb to run an electric choke due to the elderbrock performer manifold and wanting to keep a choke for the chilly winter mornings! I plan to still run both PCV/breather hoses.

Thanks

I see no reason why not.....

Thanks Big Rob. For reference, this is the air cleaner that I would like to use:

breather (front) from RH rocker goes to carby on WB i think it goes to cleaner on HZ.
LH rocker (rear) on WB goes to cleaner and on HZ goes to carby.

I'm sure you can make it work though

I wanted my engine bay to look like HZ so with red rocker cover I welded up the breather hole in the rear of the air cleaner and cut a new one in the front to go to the front left had side rocker cover . I used a 4 barrell rothchester carby
AC and chock all worked fine

Thanks Rodney. Did you use a 4bbl of a HZ or later blue motor?
