    50083 is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 9.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Batwing air cleaner is a perfect match This batwing air cleaner design fits perfect with my 1950 Ford pickup. My truck is chopped and channeled with an open Moter. This air cleaner shape is a perfect Match for the 48 to 51 Ford grill. I am 100% happy with my purchase.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from JEGS 50083 Air Cleaner Great fit on my Demon carburetor. Looks good on my 1930 Ford Roadster. Made to clear my HEI distributor. Have had a lot of compliments.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything I expected The air cleaner arrived in perfect condition. I'd heard horror stories about the same item from another supplier arriving in terrible conditions. Scratched, dented beyond repair, like it did a tour of duty in Afghanistan. I'm quite pleased with my purchase. Can't wait till spring to install it. .

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bat Wing Air Cleaner This is the smaller than original Oldsmobile and Cadillac Bat Wing Air Cleaner. It is still plenty big and fits perfectly on my 1937 Chevrolet Sedan. Nice chrome and looks great. Clears my Accel HEI Distributor as well. Very nice retro look. I also like the 14 x 5 inch air filter.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Chrome 50083 batwing Excited to get it in the mail today! Overall construction is good however the chrome finish leaves a lot to be desired. Probably try a powder coated one or a chromed one that cost more hoping for a better finish. Get what you pay for. Looks like that cheap chrome paint.

    Rated 2 out of 5 by from Nice look and fit , poor chrome plating The air cleaner is nice and nostalgic for my 57 Buick however, The quality of the build and the Chrome plating leaves a lot to be desired. You could actually see some of the spot Welds on the top and the Chrome plating. Looks like somebody sprayed it. With a spray can, it's expensive because I'm going to have to wind up sanding it and painting it, for that I could have purchased the block one which was cheaper. And paint that 1.

    I would like to put this on a SBC/stroker with HEI. The Holley 650 Carburetor has a 1" spacer. Will this clear the HEI?

    Asked by: flyboyjack
    The Jegs 555-50083 air cleaner will clear an HEI.
