Features

Description
This chrome steel recessed 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 recessed 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 chrome 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 recessed drop provides clearance, as well as street performance and restoration builds assembling a custom air-cleaner combination.
Sizing
14" round diameter, recessed 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 recessed design do?
The recessed base 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 recessed base if my carburetor has an electric choke?
If a standard flat base doesn't provide enough clearance around your electric choke housing, this recessed base is designed to help solve that clearance issue with its ⅞-inch drop.
What's the difference between the recessed and hi-lip base styles?
Both recessed and hi-lip bases drop the filter ⅞ inch to help clear an electric choke housing. The difference is the base profile—each uses a different shape to achieve similar clearance, so choose the one that best fits your engine bay and surrounding components.
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.
