I'm running a 351w with a carter 4 barrel and ebelbrock manifold and was able to put a k&n filter on my 74 fits fine. Sorry I don't have parts nr, but bought it at autozone. Hope this helps.

Check summit racing for a K&N filter. You could top it off with a new K&N extreme top for even more air flow.

If it's real tight edelbrock makes those little triangle shaped air cleaners that are only $15. I picked one up for our 66 with 351w.

Stay away from foam filters ... they are even more restrictive than paper filters. As air flow (RPM) increases, the "foam cells" actually compress and close-up restricting the flow of air. K&N is the only way to go, period.

AMEN! Just make sure you get the air cleaner with the "drop base".

A drop base with a 2" K&N filter will do it. Most auto places sell them.

measure the inside and outside diameter and the height of your stock air filter and then go Here and find out which K&N you need.

just duct tape a pillow case over the carb, and spray it with some wd40 to catch more dirt :)
