Jack,
Doesn't the greater drop of the base start to interfere with carburetor linkage?

  Available now: drop-base air cleaners in 1", 2" and 2-1/2" base-drops
  (maybe others too). And commonly avail. 14" dia elements are 2", 3" and
  4" thick. So saying 'drop-base air cleaner' means close to nothing in
  terms of the height of the assembly top without the accompanying
  numbers. Maybe I missed them?
  FWIW- J DeRyke

  On the K&N filter web site there are suggestions on air filter area,
  and it looks like they think we need a lot bigger filters, like 100 sq
  in? That would be about 5 inches high a for a 14 inch diameter filter.

  I believe I have the standard Mustang version of the Blue Thunder
  (angled carb pad). I'll double check tonight. Also, I believe I
  have
  an earlier engine screen (it's all screen and slopes down at the
  window.
  The air filter is a Hall drop base air filter with the cast aluminum
  "Pantera" script lid. I did try a stamped lid as well without
  success.
  Cheers!

  Garth,
  WHICH Blue Thunder intake do you have? The standard Mustang version
  or
  the Pantera version?
  I had to change to a different air cleaner to get it to fit under my
  screen when I put new rubber engine mount donuts in. With the old
  ones
  my existing Hall/K&N fit fine. I had to get a different, thinner lid
  with the new mounts as it raised the engine a tiny bit....

  I have a Blue Thunder intake on my Pantera at the moment with a

  670 Avenger carb and NO carb spacer, and the drop base air cleaner
  does
  NOT fit under the stock screen.
  Cheers!
