Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner
General
The heavy-duty air cleaner consists of a cylindrical
housing, typically mounted to a bracket, and
connected with a formed rubber hose to an adapter on
the carburetor or throttle body/intake manifold (EFI
units). The air cleaner housing contains a paper
element and inner element, designed for longer
service intervals. The system is CARB/EPA certified
and the components should not be altered or modified
in any way.
