Classic “Continental” Air Cleaner From O’Brien Truckers
O’Brien Truckers has done an amazing job resurrecting some of the best air cleaners from the early days, and here’s another one to add to their list. The “Continental” air cleaners were produced in the 1950's by Hi-Speed Power Equipment in Valley Stream, NY. This air cleaner design is often referred to as an “Andy Kassa" air cleaner, because the most famous use of them by far was on Andy's 1950's Deuce 3W coupe.
The two-barrel version fits any two-barrel carburetor with a 2-5/8” neck, from the Stromberg 48/81/94/97's to the Rochesters. The four-barrel version fits all Edelbrock/Holley/Carter 4 BBL's with a 5-1/8" carb neck, and a simple adaptor ring would allow them to be used with earlier carbs with the smaller necks.
The price is $295 (4-barrel) and $245 (2-barrel) each, fully polished. Check them out on the all-new 2012 O’BRIEN TRUCKERS website, along with all their other period-correct nostalgic products. O’BRIEN TRUCKERS, 29 A Young Road, Charlton, MA 01507 508-248-1555. www.obrientruckers.com
