Are they compatable? I have a NIB NOS new style air cleaner and the fording kit, I value the fording kit more and want to know if I can use them together. Anyone try this?

Yes they will work together. BUT, this post should be in the stock forum because it deals with all "stock parts " . --- M1028
Are you talking about the hood mounted air cleaner? I have that and it looks like I will have a fit problem with my crankcase plumbing and valves. Barry, do you know if the hood mounted air cleaner is compatible with the fording stuff. I have the cast air horn elbow and it looks like I will have to point it back to the firewall and cut the question mark shaped pipe shorter. I'd rather not cut it.
I think VPW has that ? tube for the hood mounted ones. They had one or the other but I think that was the one.
I can't give you a part number , But I have seen them and I know for sure that it will work. The military tries it's best to make things that are idiot proof . We shouldn't try and change it !!! M1028
So it wont work?? Or it will if I get another special part? Or maybe I shoud just sell the whole thing Its NOS NIB.
I have the complete instruction manuel for installing a fording kit. I'll take a look at it tomorrow and let you know what it says about this. Barry.
I know that NOS is New Old Stock. What is NIB? New In Box? Thanks.
The instruction sheet that I have was printed in 67. That is before they even came out with the hood mounted air cleaner. They almost have to be compatable , that is the way the military does things. B.
I just looked in the parts manuel and while it shows both styles of air cleaners, there is only one style fording intake. That should mean that it is compatable. Just what did you buy ??? If you only bought the air cleaner , You don't have enough parts to use it. There is another hood support rod, a latch assy and a bunch of hardware that is also needed to mount it to the hood as it was originally intended to be used. Barry.
