Hello,

I have a tall air cleaner for my 82 C20 and obviously I need the Stud to hold it in place.

I found this 8.5 inch Stud but it's $40, plus the shipping is $21 for some reason.

$61 for an air cleaner stud... I'll pay it if I have to but is there a better option?

Thank You

Go your local Autozone, et al and see if they have any all thread / threaded rod. Stores used to keep this in stock in various lengths.

Also, check Home Depot or Lowes.

Most carbs use 1/4-20.

Man even NOS or stainless steel should be cheaper than that....1/4-20 threaded rod, usually comes in a foot long stick, just cut to measure.

As mentioned above and as I've done. Threaded rod. Measure, ad nuts to each end, cut to length, round/smooth the ends then use the nuts to clean the threads and your good to go.

Threaded rod works, but I picked this up at O'Reilly's because I also wanted that over-sized stamped wing nut.
