The Ford Barn

Looking for a wire mesh screen for my Holley 2100. Running a speedway air scoop, I have tried the Holley 94 screen I found online but it’s too big and won’t fit. Could someone direct me to a company that sales a screen that fits on top of the carb. Not wanting a paper filter.

Can you use regular door screen (aluminum) bent over the top and slide the scoop over it?

I’m not sure I understand what you’re looking for, but maybe a “flame arrester” type? Most commonly found on boats, since most waterways don’t have a lot of dust. Designed to prevent a backfire from igniting fumes, while not taking up a lot of vertical space.

If it were me, I would cut a piece of window screen as a backer and bend the screen around the top of the Holley 2100 air horn. Then get a 1" thick sheet of fiberglas insulation (available from any chain auto parts store and cut a round piece out of it to fit the top of the screen and place it on there. You shouldn't need to tie them together, but if you want to, you can use mini-guage copper wire. Cut off just enough to poke through both screen and insulation, wrap around to the top and twist. Save the rest of your sheet of insulation in case you ever want to change the fiberglas filter.
I would also recommend spraying a few squirts of "filtercote" on top of the fiberglas. It will help to catch the smallest dirt particles.
