Air cleaners part 5

Th previous types contrast with the later air cleaners which had provision for the larger concertina type of heat riser, but which does not seem to have been fitted to many -if any - XA and XB cars. This is in stark contrast to the Cleveland fitted in cars sold in in the U.S. where the concertina pipe was extensively fitted due to their tighter emissions laws. This is shown in this photo of a 351C in a 1971 Mustang.



This is the early XA air cleaner with belled end, a carryover from the XY, what we could call, the ‘first’ type.
