Pro-Flo Triangular Air Cleaner

The Edelbrock Pro-Flo Triangular Air Cleaner (SKU: EDE1222) is a classic high-flow induction solution designed for enthusiasts building vintage or street performance engines. This chrome-finished assembly replaces restrictive factory air intakes on carbureted powerplants, allowing cooler, denser air to reach the carburetor for improved throttle response and engine efficiency. Mechanics and hot rodders rely on the Pro-Flo design because it combines proven aerodynamics with simple bolt-on installation—no complex tuning or specialized tools required.

Built from durable steel with a premium chrome finish, the Pro-Flo triangular air cleaner features a raised base platform and a 5-1/8 inch carburetor flange that ensures proper sealing and minimal turbulence through the intake tract. The 3.5 inch tower height and 14.125 x 13.375 inch triangular shape optimize filter surface area while fitting under most stock or custom engine bay configurations. This geometry reduces intake temperature by maximizing airflow velocity and minimizing dead zones where fuel can separate from the air charge—critical for consistent carburetor metering and combustion efficiency across the RPM range.

This assembly suits carbureted engines in street rods, muscle car restorations, and custom engine builds where stock air filtration limits performance. The raised base design clears most manifold configurations and fuel lines, making it ideal for tight engine compartments. Installation involves removing the factory air cleaner, positioning the Pro-Flo assembly over the carburetor flange, and securing the supplied hardware—a straightforward swap that typically takes 15–30 minutes. The chrome finish resists corrosion and complements traditional and modern engine bay aesthetics, making the Pro-Flo a functional and visually appealing upgrade.
