Returning to Stock Air Cleaner

[ccijwright]

Morning,

I'm going back to the stock air cleaner (351cj) from the Edelbrock open element cleaner on there now. Question, will I need to readjust the carb (also Edelbrock) do to a more restrictive air source? Thanks-

For driving around on the street I don't believe it will require adjustment. For prolonged high rpm runs, it might. In part it all depends on how rich the carburetor is running, now. If it's currently on the rich side it might need some tweaking. I would run it for a while and then pull a couple of spark plugs to see how they look. Black (carbon) is too rich, white is too lean, tan to light brown is what you're looking for.

Cool, thanks for the quick response. JD-
