Hi everyone,
I just bought this 78 Pace Arrow and someone replaced the carb with a Edelbrock which is fine, but they put a chrome air cleaner on it.

I don't like that because there is no hose to the air cleaner from the breather on the right valve cover.  does anyone here know if a stock Chrysler air cleaner will fit this carb?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks...I will look for one at my local boneyard off of like a Dodge van or something. The original one is gone.

I also have an Ebrock and my dual snorkel, OEM air cleaner fits.   It's a low profile version  so it can fit under the coach engine access cover.  You should be able to find one from an old RV at a junkyard.  It may not be an exact match, but it may just take a simple modification to mate the intake tube with the air cleaner snorkel tube.

you need to watch the height of the aircleaner. my 77 brave uses a short cleaner like used in the big sedans not the tall version used in the trucks

Good thought, I will check the clearance to the engine cover when looking for a replacement.
