    i have one that came off a 1970 buick skylark with a 350, 2 barrel carb.had a muffler shop make a 2 inch tall spacer to fit between the carb and buick air cleaner. my oil bath that came on it had a bad habit of dumping oil when on a steep incline or when i would lay it on its side.

    I bought a 4-barrel chrome one that had a plastic adapter to fit a 2 barrel. Got it at Checker's. Its about 9" in diameter.

    My '71 had the factory spacer and the big paper filter. I found a K&N in the same size as phe paper, ran that for the last 10 yrs.

    my carb ,which is a 2g,does not have a place to put the 1/4" threaded rod that holds the air cleaner in place.the jeep might have originally had the oil bath filter i'm not sure.i've got to get a bigger filter for sure.bob
