Peter, thanks but I doubt I can find an original air cleaner to try that. I am in Florida and Bristols are a bit thin on the ground here!

I do take your point that there may be ways to make something original looking fit the car and I may resort to some. However, the engine is not original anyway (it's a 360 from a 1978 Dodge Monaco) and, I have discovered today, it has a 'hotter' performance camshaft fitted. So I am not sure now how much I should interfere with the breathing in trying to make it look original. My main objection to the current air cleaner is noise when opening the throttle.

I'll keep working on it.

David
