I've gone to paper twice. First, it was the Carter W-1 carb with a 235. I used the base from the oil bath setup, found a Fram that fit and topped it off with a cake pan. That's the kind of thing the rancher in eastern Montana would do in the old days. Not everyone would want to emulate him (or me). Picture 1.
When I went to a 261 with a Rochester Monojet carb, I got an air filter from the junk yard which would fit the larger throat of the Monojet. I then got a Mr. Gasket air cleaner that was the same overall diameter as the bottom and used just the chromed top. Picture 2.
(Some are shaking their heads at the messy look of my engine compartment.)
