Air Filter?





I hope that the pictures of my car w its opening diameter size appears on this post.

Question: What is the appropriate air filter size for this carb?
Note also that the electric choke is elevated above the level of the carburetor's rim.

Your help is kindly appreciated.
Many thanks

So you're looking for an air cleaner housing, right? Then the latter... 2.75.

If I recall correctly, the size is actually spec'ed as 2-5/8 ths.

I too have a six cylinder.. it's in my 68 Mustang with its 1V Autotlite 1100 and was considering an aftermarket air cleaner to eke out every HP on top of its 120 HP. It's hecka gutless with a C4 but can get 22 MPG which is in stark contrast with my three trucks and Ferrari.
