Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 84 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 84 | Well, I am hoping there is an expert out there for me. I am trying to find some simple chrome air cleaner for my 4 bbl Rochester that sits atop my 283. The diameter is 4 1/2" according to the gasket, but the local performance shops only have other sizes I assume for Edelbrock.This is an original 4GC.
I don't care about the original style at over $200 a pop.
Maybe I am not looking at this correctly.
Please help if possible

Q-jets, Edelbrock, Carter AFB, & Holley all use the same one.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

They are just a plastic piece that costs around $5-10. I got one from Advanced Auto. I believe it was made by Mr. Gasket. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 84 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 84 | Hey gang. THanks. I got an adaptor piece. Just about all of the air cleaners you see in the auto parts stores are for a 5 1/8" throat.

Exceptions would be Holleys and some of the early 1960 Chrysler and Lincoln AFB's. The Rochester 4-GC, Carter WCFB, and most early Carter AFB's used the smaller aircleaner.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |
