K&N Flame Arrestor Q
 

Think BB Chevy, Mark IV, carbed. I am looking at K&N filter / flame arrestor set up and am advised that I need to "flow" 660cfm. K&N sez go to the 14 x 3 filter setup. If anyone has this piece on their boat, can they tell me if there is enough clearance to the outside to use push-in valve cover breathers? I like the push-in breather vs. the hose to the flame arraestor better (more chrome . . . ) but don't know if they will work with this diameter air cleaner assembly.

And, I would look at it myself but I am 250 miles away from my boat . . . booo, hooo, hooo

ive got those but Im 4000 miles away from mine. I think they would if I remember clearly.

Hey Sea Weasel...

Yes, the breathers should work. Here's a pic of my set-up on a 502 Mag Gen V. Here on the starboard side you can the K&N breather just behind the blue sheild for the Mercathode system and coolant hose. The filter actually sets above where the breathers install.

Port side shows a little clearer.

Mine came with the tube/tabs for the stock V/C breathers. Works for me with 548 cube/NA/1050 Dominator. You got hatch clearance??--Go for it!! --- Jer

jpclear,
What was the part number of the K&N filter that you have? I am looking to put one on my carb'd 502MAG. Thanks

Rex Marine's pt.# for that filter is: KN 59-0284. Another that should work for you is the Barbron Flame Arrestor available from Teague. pt# BAR 1003005S. A good auto parts store should be able to order for you, however. Hope this helps. --- Jer

BUT---As I read back through this, I'm pretty sure you don't have a Dominator carb there and the filters/arrestors I specified will NOT fit if you don't have a Dominator! --- Later; --- Jer

Carshopinc.com has the flame arrestors. Best price I found so far. I bought mine there. That part number you have listed, they have it for $84.95. Check it out:

The part numbers for the 14x4, the 1/4 x 4 vent hose adapters and the 3" OD crankcase vent filters (w/ shield) are: 593414, 851425 and 621516.
