BARTOO 14" x 3" Round Air Cleaner Filter Assembly Kit — Chrome Lid, Washable High-Flow Element

The BARTOO 14" x 3" Round Air Cleaner Filter Assembly Kit is a washable, high-flow replacement air filter and chrome lid assembly designed for small and big block V8 engines in Ford, GMC and Chevy vehicles.

This complete assembly pairs a chrome-plated lid, zinc-plated drop base and a washable oiled 14" x 3" nonwoven filter element to improve intake airflow while keeping dirt and dust out of carbureted V8 engines. Built for compatibility with popular carburetor brands such as Edelbrock, Holley, Demon and Rochester, the kit fits many SBC and BBC applications where a 14" diameter, 3" tall element and 1-1/4" base are required. The design draws air from the top and sides, and the washable media means it can be serviced rather than replaced frequently, helping reduce long-term maintenance costs.

How does this kit affect engine breathing and performance?

The high-flow media maximizes airflow while trapping contaminants to help the carburetor receive cleaner air. Better airflow can reduce intake restriction compared with closed, low-clearance stock assemblies, which may support smoother throttle response under load.

• Fine nonwoven filter media balances filtration and flow.
• Top-and-side intake increases available air compared to sealed designs.
• Washable and oiled element maintains flow after service.
• Chrome lid helps resist corrosion and sheds heat modestly.

Will this fit my SBC or BBC engine and common carburetors?

The assembly is engineered for 14" diameter openings with a 3" filter height and fits many small- and big-block V8s that accept a 1-1/4" drop base. It’s compatible with a wide range of aftermarket carburetors and factory-style intakes when those dimensions match.

• Designed for 14" x 3" filter applications on Ford, GMC, Chevy V8s.
• Works with Edelbrock, Holley, Demon, Rochester-style carburetors.
• Zinc-plated 1-1/4" drop base increases hood clearance where needed.
• Requires approximately 2.5" clearance above the carb flange when installed.

How do I install and maintain this air cleaner assembly?

Installation is straightforward: remove the factory unit, attach the new base to the carburetor stud, position the filter, then secure the lid and stud. The filter element is washable and re-oilable—clean and re-oil per the included care recommendations or vehicle service intervals.

• Unscrew crankcase or oil breather and lift off the stock air cleaner.
• Remove carburetor stud, fit the zinc-plated drop base, then mount the filter element.
• Reinstall the stud to secure the chrome lid and assembly.
• Service filter yearly or every ~12,000 miles, or follow manufacturer guidance.

What physical features should I check before buying?

Confirm the 14" diameter, 3" filter height and that your carburetor accepts a 1-1/4" drop base. Also measure hood clearance above the carb flange to ensure the 2.5" required space is available for proper fitment.

• Verify carb flange diameter and stud style match the kit base.
• Measure hood clearance to accommodate the 2.5" installation height.
• Check for interference with vacuum lines, breather ports, or fuel lines.
• Confirm compatibility with your aftermarket carb model if used.
