1963- Air cleaner paint or leave original

[Mark58]

I have the original air unit but now it won’t fit because of my Edelbrock carburetor, is it better to leave it as it is (pics) or paint it and make it look new?
Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark

Mine used to fit over the Edelbrock model I had before I replaced it with Original carburetor per Ford Spec, Painted mine per paint spec for my model.
Hope this helps.

Unless a pure show car replace with aftermarket 14" open element 2-3" high. install breather tube connection in base. Better overall performance.
