Hi Po stock air cleaner


Bill Meyer

Recommended Posts

Thought I'd share my take on the stock air cleaner, which seemed a little...  plain.   Also fearing my warmed over motor with 38/38 carb might like a little more air, I came up with this.  I mean who doesn't like dual snorkels??

 

Might paint it satin black in the future, we'll see if I warm up to this look.

Nicely done! 

 

What did you do to the base, for it to mate with the Weber?

     DISCLAIMER 

I now disagree with some of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book. 

I've switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results. 

I apologize for spreading misinformation.

I modified a JAM style adapter.  Had to take the entire lip off the adapter to get enough hood clearance, then beveled the edges so the air cleaner flange mated up cleanly.  

 

Thanks Simeon, that's the look I was going for.

would have been completely perfect with a double snorkel front panel :-)

 

Trust me, I considered it.  Just couldn't bring myself to cut the car, but looking at the work above maybe I'll rethink it..

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
