Default Re: E code Air cleaner housing

Isnt it Hellings & Stellings for those air cleaners ?

They apparently have been a long time supplier for Ford and Merc preformance parts for quite some time.

I remember that they provided the air cleaners for the 1956 Merc M 260 setup.

I am pretty sure the element(s) is not correct.

I have a factory kit release correct photo stored somewhere...

EDIT-

CRS AGAIN! Where's The Beef!?!?

The air cleaner is not correct as it is the oval air cleaner (unless two separate kits were issued or this is a real M 260 Factory Build.

The ACL ELEMENTS APPEAR TOO HIGH. Possibly correct replacements couldn't be found...?

THOSE ARE THEY!

I have the M260 Service Letter somewhere. Those are Helling and Stelling (pretty sure) as they were popular back in the day. The ones I showed previously were 427 COBRA..

Found it while sorting through stuff-

Quote:
...for converting the STD 1956 MERCURY ENGINE to the specifications of the M 260 OPTIONAL ENGINE
...which implies (to me anyway) that the M 260 was available as a factory option (RPO).

OK. Found the factory release photo (shown in period speed magazine). The photo does show H4000's.

But,

I also discovered these (shown below). So there is something going on. The air cleaner asm. is on a ECZ 9424-C so less chance of a custom made filter asm. I have two references to this air cleaner, one HOLLEY, one CARTER.
