My 75 GT clone has a 3.0 with Weber carb's and up until today I had K&N billet aluminum air filter housings. Back when I was collecting parts for the conversion I came across a OEM Porsche air filter housing that I believe was from a 911. It is all metal. Today I decided to install the OEM filter housing. It fit fine in regards to lining up with the carb's but it was too tall in a few areas. I had to dimple the housing in some areas with a hammer for clearance to the engine lid. I eventually got it to fit and the lid closes. Does the 914/6 air filter housing have a lower profile ?

Yes it is Plastic & is lower in that area

If you have PMO manifolds they are taller also.

TC will the plastic housing match up with my metal bases ? And are the plastic housings available ? Are they $$$ ?

I have a plastic housing with no snorkel. PM me if you're interested.

But, as the thread bears out, you need both generally... Shorter manifolds and the lower profile housing. Measure yours and I can measure this one. Maybe we can see how close we can get it. Your snorkel should fit.

PM sent. Thanks

Does anyone have a source on the clips that hold the top portion of the plastic air cleaner to the lower portion /carbs??

PN: P 911 108 167 00 ??

Thx for any insight

Sorry for the hi-jack, but how much taller are PMO manifolds?

This is what I have, but I need an aluminum plate to complete my air cleaners.
