Does anyone run these? I got my OER carb fitted, and there is barely any room between the alternator and the carb, definately not enough room for the typical box filter setup that goes around them. So my question, does anyone have these? They are little filter "half-bubble" that fit inside the velocity stack (is that the right word?).

Oh, and links on where to get them would be great!

 

are you talking about the filter socks that go over the ram tubes?
those work ok but for max performance you want the biggest air filter you can get, or if your really hardcore (and conditions permit) you can run without one.

heres a link to some socks:

something like these, where they are sealed from the inside:

first pic on the top^^

but I would like to find them to look somehting like this:

 

Socks suck, or should I say they don't, as they restrict air flow. You should be able to fit the same filter setup that fits the Mikunis, Dells and Webers. On these setups, the outer edge of each velocity stack is trimmed to fit inside the air box/filter.

 

not the rb dells, they have xtra big filters.

I've got the same carburetor.
I just ordered some of those socks.

Please post pics of your setup.

 

hold on a sec and i will snag some pics...


PS/EDIT: also, none of those will fit except for the ones i posted, you have them in your link too.

 

pics. notice how close the carb is to the plug for the alternator. thats why I am looking for pods

 

get rid of that monster alt. and use a s3, s4, or s5.

 

thats a different alternator??


the things i never knew... now i wish i knew everything that was changed in my car.

and this would look sweet as filters:

 

1). As Trochoid stated do not use the sock filters. They are inefficent, don't last long and start restricting air flow very shortly after install.
2). Move the alternator forward and run it off of the next belt groove that you are not using. Just remove the spacer and reposistion forward.
3). Buy a good Kn setup(rectangular filter)
4). Get rid of the damn Fram/Frap oil filter,lol.
5). Start doing some clean up on that engine bay.

 

I removed the Air pump and AC belt, would that be good? I still need to remove the ac from the car

 

Those 79 SA alternators are a little larger than the 80 - 85. I guess there wasn't enough room to fit the external regulator in there! I don't know if you would want to put the later style alt on there, but I'll give you a FB alt when you come up. I think there is a writeup in the archive for changing over. Or you can ask robs_seven about how he changed his.

 

Yes, use that pulley.

 

I say relocate the alt. thats what i am plaining on doing.

 

no need to relocate alt.
check out the monster filter i run on pretty much the same carb.
also if you have a 84-85 thats what the alt should look like.
