Subject: questions about original air cleaners and tin
Hi Folks,
I find myself in need of a stock air cleaner. I recently had to
rebuild my 30-PICT-1 carb and the PO had a stupid aftermarket wire mesh
type air filter on it. It fell off and was eaten (the rubber part) by the
lower pulley. I replaced it with another stupid aftermarket job with a
paper filter and some of my carb problems went away. I was experiencing
strange behavior like the engine would quit when coming to a stop. The
idle is still kinda strange but it now idles at less than a thousand rpm
when warm at near two thousand when cold. I suspect my idle mixture is
still not right and I'll look into it this weekend. I will need the
stock air cleaner when I have to smog the vehicle next year and I suspect
that it will give me better performance than the aftermarket types. I
have a '69 with a 30-PICT-1 carb on a 1600 sp engine. If anyone knows of or
has one of these air cleaners please let me know. Also there is a place
in the tin for a pre-heater hose to go thru and it has a blocking plate
over it now. I'd like to restore the tin to the correct configuration if
possible. What is missing besides the hose to the carb?
Thanks
Scott
