ABSTRACT:
A vehicle having an engine compartment and a hood enclosing the engine compartment and opening forwardly of the vehicle about a horizontal pivot axis located forward of the engine is provided with an air cleaner removably mounted within an enclosed compartment on the under side of the hood and a clean air passage disposed within said hood extends from a first end open to the clean side of said air cleaner to an outlet in said hood adjacent the horizontal pivot axis. A flexible hose connects the clean air passage outlet to the engine air intake to permit opening and closing the hood without breaking the clean air connection. The intake air to the air cleaner is preferably drawn through an air passage in the hood extending from an inlet adjacent the grille to the dirty air side of the air cleaner.
