I was looking up something else, but came across this thread about a 60 Lark VI wagon like mine:
Ok, a LOT cleaner and more together than mine, but, the observation that the air cleaner is supposed to be pointed to the right (heater box) instead of towards the front of the engine makes me ask why is there no airFLOW concerns pointing the air cleaner opening that way?
I get the idea that towards the front there will be a more likely chance of dirt and debris in the opening, hadn't thought about that, but as mine originally had likely migrated pointing back of the engine I moved the opening to the front for cooler air and more air access.
My first thought is if the opening were pointed to the heater box, you're going to be limiting airflow into the air cleaner.
I'd appreciate comments clarifying this.
