Air Cleaner Kit 14in Offset w/.50 Spacer

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE Air Cleaner Kit 14in Offset w/.50 Spacer (ALL 26095) is a low-profile air cleaner assembly designed for small-block and modified engines requiring compact intake filtration without sacrificing flow characteristics. This 14-inch round unit features a dropped base with offset mounting, allowing installers to position the air cleaner around existing engine bay obstacles while maintaining optimal carburettor flange alignment at 5-1/8 inches—critical for proper fuel atomization and engine response across throttle ranges.

The 1/2-inch spacer included in this kit elevates the air filter element, increasing volume between the filter and carburetor throat to reduce reversion and intake turbulence—a tuning detail that measurably improves throttle transition feel and mid-range power delivery on carbureted applications. Constructed from natural aluminum with a dropped base design, the assembly minimizes hood clearance requirements while the offset configuration routes intake ducting cleanly away from hot engine components. The unit requires a separate air filter element, allowing buyers to select media suited to their specific ambient conditions and intended duty cycle.

This assembly is engineered for street rods, vintage race vehicles, and carbureted performance builds where intake system real estate is constrained. Engine builders and restorers working with tight engine bays, supercharger installations, or custom intake manifold configurations benefit from the offset design's flexibility. The aluminum construction resists corrosion in storage and mild humidity, though uncoated natural finish will patina over time without regular cleaning or protective coating.

Weighing 3 pounds and measuring 14.3 x 5.5 x 15.2 inches, this air cleaner kit delivers the offset positioning and low-profile footprint that carbureted engine bay layouts demand, while the included spacer provides the tuning margin serious builders expect from purpose-built intake components.
