Does anyone have any photos for air cleaner set ups for the Impco 425 LPG mixer/carb. The one you get with the kits is pretty basic and there seems to be a lack of after market gearin Aus. Due to the height of the mixer standard Holley air cleaners dont fit without modification.
Any creative ways to make a standard one to fit or alternative solutions would be welcome,
cheers,
Scott

maybe a gas ring could be adapted into the snorkel of a standard air cleaner,run a pod style behind the grille for intake, plumb it up to the gas ring, then the gas ring to the snorkel and remove the existing air cleaner element from inside.
similar idea

Thanks guys some great ideas and all look great. Unofrtunately on the HQ with a Rochester baseplate there is limited clearance. The standard Impco one even rubbed and had to cut out some of the bonnet bracing.
Has anyone seen the Holley (ex B&M) Hi Tek
