does anyone know this?
I want to install a new air filter housing on my 258, carter carb. Does
anyone know the receiver size? that worded right... in other words, I ditched the emissions crap and want a new air filter housing and im not sure what "size" I need. hope that makes sense |
Re: does anyone know this?
I guess you live someplace warm eh? Man I hate it when my carb turns
into a block of ice so I kept the stock filter housing with the hot air intake tube. I think the aftermarket housings come by vehicle type so you just get one that says it's fits a CJ/YJ or use a tape measure on the opening.......

Re: does anyone know this?
Canadian Tire sells new air filter housings that will fit on. They sell
a lot of Jeep stuff including carb kits. Alberta is where I saw a whole mess of frozen carbs. One froze into a solid block at 50 mph in a snow storm on the Jasper highway. What a riot that was, the throttle stayed at 50 mph..... We got it stopped and had to pull into a garage bay in Edson or Stoney plain maybe for an hour to thaw the sucker. I do recommend the stock filter and heat tube for the winter..... Mike Pi-eyed Piper wrote: > > maybe im making a mistake.....im in Alberta.

hmm....that heat tube is on the manifold right? which I replaced with a

Re: does anyone know this?
I have seen bailing wire or large plumbing hose clamps used to hook the
original to one of the header pipes. I think you can get heat tube boxes for headers or I guess a bit of sheet metal and some snips.... I would check at the wreckers maybe. They are usually just screwed or riveted on. You have serious cold out there.....

hehheh...yes we do, dont dare piss outside or it'll freeze up before you're
