Edelbrock Pro-Flo 10" Round Air Cleaner — Low-Profile 3.5" Height, Triple Chrome

The Edelbrock 1208 Pro-Flo is a low-profile 10-inch round air cleaner with a 2" paper element and triple chrome-plated 18-gauge steel housing designed to fit popular carburetors and tight hood clearances.

This compact Pro-Flo air cleaner by Edelbrock combines classic styling with practical fitment for small engine bays. It replicates the look of Edelbrock Signature Series valve covers and installs on carburetors using the standard 5-1/8" diameter mount flange. Finished in triple chrome plating and stamped from 18-gauge steel, it offers a finished appearance while accommodating crankcase ventilation through a removable base knock-out.

What are the exact dimensions and fitment details?

The 1208 Pro-Flo measures 10 inches in diameter and uses a 2" tall paper filter element, with a total overall height of 3.5" including the housing. It is engineered to mount to carburetors that accept the common 5-1/8" diameter air cleaner mounting flange.

• 10" outer diameter for compact footprint
• 2" paper element height, 3.5" overall assembly height
• Fits carburetor mounting flanges of 5-1/8" diameter
• Low-profile design suits tight hood clearances

How does the Pro-Flo address low hood clearance issues?

With only 3.5" overall height, the Pro-Flo is significantly lower than many traditional air cleaners, allowing installation where space between the carburetor and hood is limited. Its shallow profile reduces the chance of hood contact while maintaining a standard inlet for airflow.

• 3.5" overall height minimizes interference with low hoods
• Compact footprint keeps intake stack within tight engine bays
• Standard mounting flange ensures compatibility without modification

What materials and finish does this air cleaner use?

The shell is stamped from durable 18-gauge steel and receives a triple chrome-plated finish for a bright, corrosion-resistant appearance. The top is stamped with the Edelbrock logo, offering coordinated styling with matching Edelbrock valve covers and other engine dress-up parts.

• 18-gauge steel construction for a rigid housing
• Triple chrome plating for a polished, long-lasting look
• Stamped Edelbrock logo for coordinated engine presentation

Can this air cleaner accommodate crankcase ventilation?

Yes — the base includes a pre-formed knock-out hole that can be removed to accept a crankcase ventilation adapter or PCV hose. That feature lets you route crankcase vapors while retaining the unit's low-profile appearance.

• Base knock-out hole for crankcase ventilation adapter
• Allows PCV/vent hose routing without altering the top housing
• Maintains compact height even with ventilation plumbing attached

Who is this for? The Edelbrock 1208 Pro-Flo 10-inch round air cleaner is ideal for classic car restorers, hot rodders, and anyone with restricted hood clearance who wants an authentic Edelbrock look. It suits builders fitting standard 5-1/8" carburetor mounting flanges who want a chrome, low-profile air cleaner that pairs visually with Edelbrock signature valve covers. Choose this unit when you need a compact, OEM-style appearance without sacrificing basic ventilation options or easy installation.
