does anyone know this?

I want to install a new air filter housing on my 258, carter carb. Does
anyone know the receiver size? that worded right...

in other words, I ditched the emissions crap and want a new air filter
housing and im not sure what "size" I need.

hope that makes sense

I guess you live someplace warm eh? Man I hate it when my carb turns
into a block of ice so I kept the stock filter housing with the hot air
intake tube.

I think the aftermarket housings come by vehicle type so you just get
one that says it's fits a CJ/YJ or use a tape measure on the
opening.......

maybe im making a mistake.....im in Alberta. I should probably keep the
original one...or keep it for winter. I just liked the idea of seeing the
vavle cover..

Canadian Tire sells new air filter housings that will fit on. They sell
a lot of Jeep stuff including carb kits.

Alberta is where I saw a whole mess of frozen carbs. One froze into a
solid block at 50 mph in a snow storm on the Jasper highway. What a
riot that was, the throttle stayed at 50 mph..... We got it stopped and
had to pull into a garage bay in Edson or Stoney plain maybe for an hour
to thaw the sucker.

I do recommend the stock filter and heat tube for the winter.....

I have seen bailing wire or large plumbing hose clamps used to hook the
original to one of the header pipes.

I think you can get heat tube boxes for headers or I guess a bit of
sheet metal and some snips.... I would check at the wreckers maybe.
They are usually just screwed or riveted on.

You have serious cold out there.....

hehheh...yes we do, dont dare **** outside or it'll freeze up before you're
done.

I never took a close look at the other one, I'll probably be able to rig it
up.

Then at least use the housing of your stock air filer:
http://www.billhughes.com/weber.jpg Remember any aftermarket will only
fit straight up from the carburetor, (except the one made by the snake
oil manufacturer and only traps giant grasshoppers) and you need at
least one with fifteen inches diameter to get a enough filtration area,
which usually means doing away with the hood:

filter????
