Thanks yeah the stock number could help. I got those valve covers from ireland believe it or not.That's a beautiul engine. I have the same setup, and the only solution I've found is the triangular Edelbrock unit. I understand it may not be the best cleaner, but it fits. Let me know if you need the stock number, as I think I still have the box somewhere.
Hey thanks for the tip. I think it's a pretty tight space.Doug .. get some tin foil.. make them into little towers..then stick them to the outer edges of the carb...gently close your bonnet and then measure how tall they are.... The shortest one then becomes the guide for the filter height housing and it's distance from the centre of the carb the radius for its width.
you should be able to get a round or oval filter housing that will work...
ThanksIf you used Dan’s kit he may be able to advise
Thanks greatly appreciate it.Maybe one of these will work.

Pretty sure I used the 751 kit, just turned the intake pipe the other way around. The fan is the standard Ford fan that came with the engine. No issues at all with overheating, but I am in Canada (Toronto) -- Sunbeam rad re-cored to a three row. No AC. Dan R installation components for the engine.
Thanks, I saw that, but I'm not sure it would fit mine without A hood scoop. I do love the looks of it.I am planning on using this in my alger. It is quite low profile. I do have a scoop in my hood that will allow a little more clearance. View attachment 30486
