Where can i find an air cleanr (filter housing) for my 1077 F150 with the straight 6 300? I don't need a new carb, just the filter housing. It is for the 2 barrel carb.
thanks

 

You mean 1977?

I thought they only came with the 1bbl Carter/Motorcraft carbs...

 

yea, 1977. the guy at the repair shop said i needed a 2 barrel carb cleaner. :?

 

I've got an old one from off of my 1977 with a single barrel. but I don't have a 2 barrel air cleaner.

 

bump...anyone help me out?

 

300 6 cylinder trucks didn't come with a 2 barrel carb, only a 1 barrel. Has the carb been changed? If so, to what?

 

im totally new to non fuel injected cars, so here are some pics of whats on there, as well as a pic of something that appears to have been removed and dryer hose or something has been put in its place. is this something i need to replace?

Auto zone, Advance, NAPA, ect.. sell a filter almost identical to that one.
The difference is that the sides are not covered by metal if you buy the whole unit.
The replacement filter is about 5 bucks. It is made by Mr. Gasket and is in the "hot rod" stuff section.
Same one I run on mine.

im averaging about 10 mpg even after a recent maintanence overhaul. im thinking that my tiny filter has something to do with it. did you notice a big drop in gas mileage after you put it on? what is the point of having one so small on there?

 

Mileage is 14-15 city, 17-19 overall. Put it on after I yanked the V-6 the f100 came with and replaced it with the 300.

 

but at what advantage? did it improve your mileage?
can anyone tell if it is a 2 barrel carb or the stock 1 from the pics i posted?

 

It's a 1 barrel.

 

the number of holes that air can enter into is the number of barrels you have.

 

so would it be better for me to buy a stock sized air cleaner or just replace the air filter on the tiny one? im guessing go with OEM size.

 

I'm pretty sure a 2 barrel air cleaner wont fit your 1 barrel. Most 2 barrels use the same size as 4 from what I've seen.
