I have the full L88 intake, inner air box and hood on my '68. This includes the spark arrestor on the carb and the air filter element and wire form in the hood.
I had the spark arrestor off today and had a mean spit back starting in the cold (tuned for 60 - 90 degrees F but it was 20 degrees F now). Long story short the factory foam air filter element starting burning like crazy. I yanked it out before things got crazy but now I need a new alternative. Anyone? It has to deform to fit into the air box.
Thanks!
P.S. - I almost needed to change my shorts with the smoke pouring out of the back of the hood. I have engine fires and they go out when you crank it. This one was being fed by the squierters when I was pumping to get it re-started!
