solex pph40 airfilter recomendation?

[jetboy]

So, now that I have the carbs on, I need some sort of air filter!

Of course I'd love to get a ti set up if some one has one laying about, but since thats probably a long term search, what should I use in the meantime?

I know its cosher amoung alfa romeo types to just strap some oiled wire mesh over the intakes and call it good.. is that actually ok or am I asking for destruction??

this car gets driven on the streets of SF/oakland for the most part.

Try some Uni Filters. If you take off your velocity stacks, make sure you keep them, or sell them to me. I have a set of Solexes where the previous owner put on those rectangular filters and threw away the stacks. Been looking for replacements ever since.

There Was And Still Is I Believe A Ti Filter Setup On Ebay

[jetboy]

i can't seem to find it on ebay- maybe its gone already!

I can't afford ebay prices usually anyway--

thanks for the tip tho, if you see another one anywhere..

but thats really off topic, i need to post in parts -

good advice on the stacks, I will probably keep them on. to tell you the truth I am leaning toward the alfa method of just mesh with oil. its not that dusty around here.. and man does it sound cool.

just wondering if I am goign to ruin my carbs doign that.

you are thinking the weber stack type? the certianly look the business.

[Brendan_Lopez]

Yup, I have used those on webers before, they work well. Here are the universal ones. http://www.unifilter.com/online%20catalog/universal.html

they're easy to use and clean.

They (ti airboxes) quite often pop up on german ebay for more than acceptable prices. Just keep ur eyes peeled :-D

Or save up and get something from cahsel.de *drool*

Here's my setup. I have the original velocity stacks with Uni filters.

Forgot the attachment. Here's the pic.

Uni seems to be the way, I am watching the german ebay, a REALLY nice arbox is up , but still has 3 days so i am waiting to see how it goes. I guess anything under 200 dollars is a decent enough deal--

I still have some work to do on my set up, here is what she looks like currently--

Have the same setup but don't have the linkage and have not put them on because of this. What did you use for linkage? TIA Scott '71 2002

[jetboy]

the guy who sold me the carbs made that linkage himself- (the linkage between the carbs is original, but the throttle linkage is custum)

its not actually all conntected yet, just laying where its supposed to go. I coudl take it off and get you some close ups if you want.

[sfs63]

That would be great. I would really appreciate it. My email is sfs63@sbcglobal.net. Many Thanks.........

[jetboy]

don't suppose you are near SF? you could just come and take a look! but ill post the pics anyway.

[jetboy]

pics: the distance between the (furthest edge) of each lever is 9-3/8"

it fits just where you see in the pic above, attached by the same bolts that hold the intake manifold to the head. then you have to go buy a generic throttle cable and attach it-- something ive yet to do!

hopefully i can get to it tomorrow.. but ive been working on my 71 bus project trying to get it ready to sell, so ive been slow to get the 02 running--- need the money from the van!
