One thing that can be pretty frustrating when you’re bolting down your air cleaner is the nut in the center of it. Here you have a nice, chrome or polished air cleaner, and smack dab in the middle of it is a piece of hardware that takes away from the overall smooth look. Sure, there’s fancy hardware you can buy for about half the price of the air cleaner, but wouldn’t it be cool to have a smooth surface on the top of your air cleaner?
Proform Parts has just the ticket for that smooth, clean look, with its new officially licensed Chevrolet Performance slant-edge air cleaners in six styles with raised or recessed logos. Looking at the center of the air cleaner, the one thing that’s missing is that dreaded nut to hold it down. So how are they attached? Pure magic.
Okay, we’ll reveal the secret. On the underside of the air cleaner lid is a nut that is tacked on, and the lid spins onto the carburetor stud. Adjustments can be made by simply spinning the stud up or down to the proper level and spinning the lid into place.
The slant-edge air cleaner will provide a clean look to your engine compartment, and is a great complement to Proform’s slant-edge valve covers for small-block Chevrolets. Of course, the buck doesn’t stop here when it comes to dressing up your Chevrolet. Be sure to head over to the Proform Parts website for more products to bring your engine up to par with the rest of your car – or even better.
