Re: E code Air cleaner housing
Just an idea. They were used on a 427 FE COBRA.

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. Oldmics |

Re: E code Air cleaner housing
'56 Mercury and Ford both offered their own "over the counter" dual quad (260 HP) NASCAR kits. Two different part numbers for the kit. Both kits shared the same one off teapot carbs. Oldmics is the resident expert with part numbers and factory documentation. Never installed on the assembly line. Was not a Police Interceptor thing.

Re: E code Air cleaner housing
Not shire how much help this will be. My ECG9424-D intake is 7 7/16" center to center front stud to front std. that leaves 3 15/16" (if my math is correct) rad for each air cleaner. Thus my choice of 2 @ 6 3/8"..think they were (pour memory) about 12 bucks apiece. Bought 2 extra elements and stacked em. I'll try and find the pic. Personally think they look kinda kool.

Re: E code Air cleaner housing
I want to thank everyone who answered my questions and gave me advise I appreciate all of it. I will take my measurements, and if it will work I will keep looking until I find one, and then see if I can bring myself to cough up the dough, I don't expect it will be cheap. Thank you all.-----Jim

Re: E code Air cleaner housing
I had an aftermarket dual quad Y block intake and the center to center air cleaner studs were NOT the same as factory studs. Had to use a factory dual quad manifold to get the stock dual air cleaner studs to fit.

Re: E code Air cleaner housing
Jay, and Milt. Thank you for the information I appreciate it. I have found the chart that Ted Eaton had posted over on the Y-blocks forever forum, I will try to post it for every one so if this comes up again it will be here for all.

Re: E code Air cleaner housing
Jim
I have seen that measurement list posted somewhere else, perhaps it was Ted Eatons over on Y Blocks forever. I am only going to address the measurements on the Ford manifolds. I"m sticking by my center to center distance of the Holly teapots mounted in REVERSE order as applicable for T Birds as 7 13/32. Orienting the carbs in a normal fashion in the way the "E" Code passenger cars used them brings a different measurement of 7 7/16 (or 7 14/32) The hold down wing nut holes in the "E" air cleaners are drilled 3/8 . So theres a fair amount of room for a 1/32 offset difference in the fit of the air cleaner regardless in the orientation of the carbs. I know its just splitting hairs on my 1/32 difference measuements BUT it is a fair amount of difference ( 1/8 ) as opposed to the 7 5/16 spec that has been posted. Now all that being said I"m curious to know - what did your manifold measure out to be and what air filter will you be using ? Oldmics |

Re: E code Air cleaner housing
Oldmics, the stud to stud distance on my 2x4 set-up measures 7.230 inches. that chart I posted , did come from the Y-Block forever forum, posted by Ted Eaton. I guess for now I will use the "D" shaped air cleaners that I bought from spotlite custom accessories a little over a year ago. I am not completely sure I like the look, I may powder coat them black instead of chrome. the tri-power air cleaners are black, that are on the eng. that is In my car now, as are the manifold, v/c's, and other components, the eng. itself is gold I will try and post a couple of pictures, they are not very good, but will give you an idea what is going on. I guess I will not be using the factory oval air cleaner

Correction
Quote:
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...?
