Evening folks-Got my big distributor cap today, put it on and realized my air cleaner was not going to fit over it so I'm in the market and looking for recommendations. Carb is a Holley 650 sitting atop a Street Dominator. Distributor is a DuraSpark. I'd love to have something with Ford on it, but will settle for what works best and fits. What do you guys/gals use? Thanks in advance (again)-

The 13" Motorsport breather is what you need. It is 13" vs 14" to be able to clear the Duraspark. I have an MSD dist, but it is the same size as the duraspark. Current intake is a Victor Jr. it clears easily, but I also ran it with a Torker II (low rise) + a 1" spacer and it cleared.The part # is M-9600-A302. Retail is $42.95, but I see them in mags for ~$35. Comes with a paper element. Through a fair amount of research I located a proper size K & N element for it. (K & N application is a Mercedes). Take a look at it below. If anyone wants the K & N part # let me know. Later, David Cole

The K & N Filter in the pic is #E-2865.
It is roughly the same as the paper filter at 2 3/8" tall. Use it if your hood clearance is tight.I recently put on Boss 429 style scoop on my 69. Cut a hole in the hood under it. More room for a taller element. #E-3700 is what I'm using now. It is the correct diameter, but the element is 4" tall Either one is correct diameter for he 13" Motorsport breather.

Jim,
Since the Street Dominator isn't a tall manifold, would you gain any room by going with a spacer under the carb?Mike

Mike-
Thanks for the response. Maybe it's because the Moroso breather I have sits high or something, cause the hood is banging it when I shut it up. Actually, kinda wanted to get it off there anyways, and the black, 13" Motorsport is looking really good to me.Dave C: your engine looks nice. What's the black gismo sitting just inside the coil? Happy Fathers Day, guys-

Thanks for the engine comment.The black gizmo is a Moroso electric water pump drive. Basically and electric heater blower motor with a small pulley on the shaft. Another pulley on the water pump. Prob saves a couple of hp, but the main reason for using it is to allow cool downs at the track. After a pass I can leave it and the electric fan running running with the engine shut off and cool the engine down from 190 to 120 in about 5 minutes. Later, David Cole

Dave that electric water pump.. it uses a special braket right? does jegs supply that braket and that pump??? does it improve the overall cooling on the engine versus the belt driven pump?? thanks...

The pump drive comes in a kit, motor, bracket, spacers, an assortment of bolts. Costs about $75. But it's not something you would really want for the street. Reason is that the pump is turned at a constant 1600 rpm, ok if you are just cruising a little, at idel alot etc. But if you run it down the road at 3000 rpm for a while... The pump is only moving enough water to cool it at a lower rpm. On on drag engine it's not a problem. A few seconds at 7000 rpm, then a 2500 rpm ride up the return road, then shut off and cool down.When I had 4.56 gears and a 4K stall converter I did drive my car some on the street. Mainly just the Sat night crusie to the local drive-in to hang out with the street rod crowd. The pump could keep up with that, but no continuous cruising. That stopped when I went to a 5500 stall converter and 5.43 gears. I have seen everal guys run the CSI type pump on the street. There are several brand of this type pump and they all will pump over 30 gallons of water per minute. These can be street driven. Take a look at this type pump here:
