Product Details

Features

  • Center-finned round design gives a classic, detailed hot rod appearance
  • 14" polished aluminum housing pairs with a disposable paper filter
  • Recessed base fits standard carbs — not compatible with electric choke
  • Nut and stud hardware included for a complete, ready-to-install kit

Description

This air cleaner kit uses a 14" round aluminum housing with a center-finned top design and a polished finish, giving it a detailed, classic hot rod look. It includes a white paper filter element — a disposable filter designed for periodic replacement rather than washing and reuse — along with nut and stud hardware for installation.

The recessed base will not clear an electric choke — if your carburetor uses an electric choke housing, this base style won't fit over it. The 5-1/8" neck flange is sized for standard 4-barrel carburetor and throttle body necks; confirm your carburetor's choke type and flange size before ordering, since this is a universal-fit kit. At just 2-1/2" overall assembled height, this recessed-base design sits notably lower than TSP's flat-base air cleaner kits — verify hood clearance either way before installing.


Applications
This is a universal-fit air cleaner kit with a recessed base, sized for a 5-1/8" neck flange, not matched to a specific engine or vehicle. Not compatible with carburetors using an electric choke — confirm your choke type before ordering.

Installation
Includes nut and stud hardware. Match the 5-1/8" neck flange to your carburetor or throttle body, confirm your carburetor does not use an electric choke, and verify your available hood clearance against the 2-1/2" overall assembled height.

Q&A

Will this air cleaner fit a carburetor with an electric choke?
No. The recessed base does not provide sufficient clearance for an electric choke housing. If your carburetor uses an electric choke, a compatible flat-base air cleaner should be used instead.

What's the difference between this and the flat-base version?
This version uses a recessed base and measures 2-1/2" in overall assembled height, while the flat-base version (SKU 53ACK14320P) measures 4-3/8". The recessed-base version does not provide sufficient electric choke clearance, while the flat-base version does. Both feature a 14" round design, center-finned polished aluminum top, and disposable paper filter.

What size carburetor or throttle body flange does this air cleaner fit?
This air cleaner has a 5-1/8" neck flange, commonly used on standard 4-barrel carburetors and compatible throttle bodies. Verify your flange diameter before ordering.

Is the filter washable or disposable?
This kit includes a disposable white paper filter element designed for periodic replacement rather than washing and reuse.

Does this kit come with mounting hardware?
Yes. A mounting stud and nut are included with the air cleaner kit.

Does this air cleaner require California emissions certification?
According to the product's emissions notice, this air cleaner does not require a California Executive Order (EO) exemption. Verify any application-specific requirements that may apply to your vehicle.
