Ebay, craigslist, or the wanted section going to be your best bet. We also need to know some info about your jeep. What engine? Power Brake Booster?

cj7 258 cu I don't think it has a power brake booster.

 

You 'might' have manual brakes, but you better check because the two air filters don't mix or match.

Go look at the brake master cylinder to see if it is bolted directly to the firewall or if there is a big round vacuum booster between it and the firewall.

 

Here we go

Jeep CJ AMC 4.2 258 Air Filter Box Breather 76-86:eBay Motors (item 220511933889 end time Nov-21-09 19:53:41 PST)

For manual brakes. Looks like it has everything.

 

dang your good!! thanks!

 

straight to the firewall

 

Manual brakes then.

Just a thought, if you ever maybe wanted more stopping power, it is real easy to switch to power brakes so you might want to just get the air filter for power brakes now. That one will work for both systems, the manual brake air filter only works on them.

 

So what is the difference in the two?

 

One sits on the carb, the manual one. The other sits on the valve cover with a snout over the carb so there is room for the brake master to move forward to fit the booster behind it.

 

Here is a power version. If I remember correctly a 1987-1992 YJ air clears work also. Might have luck at finding someone parting out a YJ or finding one in a junk yard.

Jeep CJ Air Cleaner Assembly

Up here in Canada, The 87-92 YJ one will have a couple holes in the bottom that can be plugged for the pulse air tubes and an extra flap on the intake to prevent vapor loss when the engine is off, but it will fit on and work fine.

I think some US ones have these extra holes too, depending on what emissions market they were sold for.

 

My friend is a former AMC mechanic, and he said it's just a pacer air cleaner. If you have trouble finding one using jeep as a search term try pacer in it's place.

 

Yes, all the US ones I have seen have the two holes for the pulse air system.

 

A buddy figured out Remy Martin corks fit perfectly. Not all the CJ ones have them though right?

 

Learn something new everyday that is why I am in here. Thanks guys, Mike N.

 

Power brake air cleaner that has the upstream and downstream tubes plugged with rubber stoppers (can't see them though).

 

anyone out there consider/ or have made an air cleaner assembly? my cj5 has those cool and pointless 4" filter stuffed on top of the carb and my cj7 build came with nothing, with a little sheet steel couldn't something be fashioned that emission controls and line could be run too?

Sure why not. I've done it before myself. Just make sure your seal on the air cleaner filter is good and tight. The stock ones usually have braces stamped in so you only need one bolt to get a good tight seal.

 

John, Do you know any places that sell after market stock style air cleaner housings?

 

Here's a non-power. I believe I may have a couple of these.

Here are 3 for power brakes:

If you still need one for power brakes send me a PM and I will go in the atic and see if I still have one.

 

While we're at it, I need an air cleaner for a V8 (360). Everything I see on eBay that says V8 seems to be the non-power I6 cleaner. I know the V8 is supposed to have 2 vacuum motors on it.

I have a bid on an actual V8 cleaner on eBay currently, but failing that one, I may be in some trouble.

Thanks - David

 

I can't seem to find a stock replacement air cleaner housing for my 84 CJ7. I see plenty of K&N and stuff but i just want a standard air cleaner housing. When i bought this this jeep it had a dinky little 4" air cleaner and i want to go back stock so i can get the breather tube hooked back up. Any sources out there I must be looking in the wrong places. Thanks Mike
