Product Details

Features

  • Black steel hi-lip base clears electric choke housings
  • Base only — pairs with a compatible top and filter for a full assembly
  • Fits carburetors with a 5 1/8" neck diameter, 14" round size
  • Filter drops 7/8" for added electric choke clearance

Description

This black steel hi-lip base is built for universal carbureted air-cleaner applications, fitting carburetors with a 5 1/8" neck diameter in a 14" round size. It's built as a base-only component, so it requires a separately purchased compatible top and filter element to form a complete air-cleaner assembly.

The hi-lip base design drops the filter 7/8" below the base's upper edge, providing clearance for carburetors with an electric choke — a common fitment need this style specifically addresses. Steel construction with a black finish supports stable mounting and a clean engine-bay appearance.

Before ordering, verify carburetor neck diameter, filter height, top fitment, and hood clearance, and confirm throttle linkage clearance, breather routing, fuel-line clearance, and stud length for final assembly.


Applications
Fits carburetors with a 5 1/8" neck diameter, 14" round base size; well-suited to carburetors with an electric choke, where the hi-lip drop provides clearance, as well as street performance and restoration builds assembling a custom air-cleaner combination.

Sizing
14" round diameter, hi-lip base style, 5 1/8" neck flange, filter dropped 7/8". Base only — requires a separately purchased compatible top and filter element.

Q&A

What does the hi-lip design do?
The hi-lip design drops the filter ⅞ inch below the base's upper edge, providing additional clearance for carburetors equipped with an electric choke.

Do I need this hi-lip base if my carburetor has an electric choke?
If a standard flat base doesn't provide enough clearance around your electric choke housing, this hi-lip base is designed to help solve that clearance issue with its ⅞-inch drop.

Does this include the top and filter, or just the base?
This listing is for the air cleaner base only. A compatible top and filter element must be purchased separately to complete the air cleaner assembly.

What carburetor neck size does this base fit?
This air cleaner base is designed for carburetors with a 5⅛-inch neck (air horn) diameter.

Is this the hi-lip or recessed base version?
This listing is the hi-lip base version. A recessed base version of this same 14-inch black air cleaner base may be available as a separate listing.
