Why is there a dent in the back of the air cleaner????? Only way it would fit so had to massage it. Spent a ton of time on this. I have the engine at stock 914-6 height but the air cleaner just was a PIA but I refused to go with k&n setups. I purchased a few housings but all from 911s and required modifications before the engine lid bracing would clear Ben I had the same question. The engine tin looks to be at the right height. Tall manifolds ? Phenolic spacers ? Did you try a 911 plastic housing ? |

Phenolic spacers , standard manifolds off a 71 T, no never wanted plastic it just scared me when I was running fuel to the carbs but now that it’s fuel injected maybe. Yes for sure the proper height as you can see by sheet metal etc. |

I wonder if the MFI air cleaners are shorter? The steel ones have no forgiving factors |

here's a Lubral sticker I pulled off an early 911 air cleaner...long time ago...may have been on a Euro delivery 911....Lubral with Dutch colors used in Europe
somewhere I have a few pics of the 911 metal and plastic air cleaners side by side... the MFI where plastic like the 914-6 and seems to me both were a little thinner...not as tall/thick ![]() |

You know what will drive Ben BATSHIT crazy!
Someone else needs to ask "Why the dent" every few days... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) |

Jpnovak makes an adapter ![]() I thought so. I was just checking on it. JP builds good stuff. I saw one of his EFI conversions at the Hill Country Rally a couple of years ago. Clay |
