Jamie80 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'm just wondering how many have kept the original air intake or replaced it? Mine is missing a rivet and the "flex" hose has tears in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 If I run a carb I'm FOR SURE going to run a "stock" air cleaner, with all its plumbing. Read this: Documentation/Fuel Systems/Air Cleaners. But some of my "stock" air cleaners have grown a second snorkel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some of my "stock" air cleaners have grown a second snorkel. Still original. Found a duct and the inlet at a local u pull it. They were missing when I got the truck.

1986F150Six Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The rivet can be replaced with a short bolt and lock nut. The flexible tubing can be found "aftermarket". Look for Jeep accessories as they used similar tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsai Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'm still running my original air cleaner on my 300: I didn't have the flex tubing at the time this photo was taken, but I was later gifted it at the show in Skiatook last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramttocs Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Stock on my 460 and that is my preference. A PO replaced the one on my 400 with some cheap chrome job and someday I might get around to replacing it with a stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Stock, here too. Gary posted this pic of my engine earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_S85 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I got a NOS unit for my 82. Still looking for the proper NOS snorkel to rivet to the new one. I bought one but it's not long enough. I planned on keeping it for my carb but now with my plan changing to FI I'm sticking with the oe aircleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from this To this I had to come up with the filter assy. as the truck did not come with one. I also am running EFI exh. manifolds so I have no good way to hook up the pre-air heat but the vacuum part of it is hooked up. I also run hot water under the intake to heat it like the exh. did before the EFI manifolds. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
