As a
public service announcement, i feel i should present my story concerning the edlebrock "triangle" air cleaner.
But first, let me say that i think Edlebrock is a great company and i use other edlebrock products. But i think they dropped the ball concerning this type of air cleaner.

In another instance, i used that exact same air cleaner on another car and the engine had a backfire and the engine physically blew the air cleaner off the engine about 20 inches in the air. (the latch mechanism for this air cleaner is also maybe not the best design out there) i had the hood up when this happened.
b) the other concern is that the foam may be too close to the top of the carb and/or bowl vents. This can cause problems with fuel metering.
Now, as far as what styles of air cleaners i
do like are the dual snorkel type that alot of hi-po gm cars had. In this way, you're getting high volume air intake when needed while still getting maximum mpg.
