46 Pickup Air Cleaner Mounting Photos?

longlivelance

Hey all, I was able to track down the proper air cleaner for my truck. I've seen a few photos where it is mounted to the top of the engine head cover. The photos I have found however are not super clear. I am missing the mounting piece that connects to the small hole in the air cleaner and to the head cover, so I am going to need to make one.

Does anyone have an original set up they could snap some photos of for me? I'm mostly curious of the shape/size of the mounting piece, and where it is supposed to attach on the cover.

Here is what I have:



Thanks!

I don't have a picture of one mounted (nor do I have an appropriate engine to attach it to); however, I have one of the air cleaner and bracket. The bracket is very simple and should likely attach via a head bolt/stud through the round hole and the filter via bolt through the slotted hole.  If needed, I can dig it out for measurements.

The tall stud on the lower-left side of your picture looks like a good candidate for the attachment point.

Thank you cchancel! That is very helpful. It is much simpler then I expected! If I end up needing measurements on it, I will reach out. 

Thanks again!

Here is a picture of the air cleaner, with the bracket attached to the head - best I can do, at the moment.  You should be able to enlarge enough, to see how it attaches, and to which head bolt it goes onto.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the photos 46HudsonPU!
