My 300 Ford Six

This is in a 1965 Ford Condor Motorhome that my family owns and I’m thinking of restoring. Tell me what you see here

That's a pretty unique air cleaner system. Plus, it looks like it has an electric fuel pump.

It looks like the RV manufacturer installed a remote air cleaner with the carb adapter snorkel to best position the air cleaner in the engine compartment.
