1965 Edelbrock 1221 Pro Flo Air Cleaner Replacement

[65birdie]

Hey everyone,

I have a 65' and I tried replacing the air cleaner from an Edelbrock 1002 Pro Flo to an Edelbrock 1221 Pro Flo but the bottom piece does not sit flat because of a hose that's connected to the carburetor.

Is there anything I can do to make this work? Or am I installing the wrong model?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you have adequate under hood clearance, Edelbrock makes a plastic spacer ring that will pick the bottom of the air cleaner up aprox 3/4”. Available from Summit I believe or I’m sure on line.

Can you trim the filter base to fit around the hose flare or is it under the main part of the filter base?

Awesome, great suggestion and I'll definitely be trying this.
