Re: Air Filter spec... help please.
Hey Donny,
I've noticed that sometimes engines are put together with non-standard or custom bits and pieces so your filter and housing may be taken from a completely different application. The best thing to do is take your old air filter with you to a knowledgable pro parts shop (I don't bother going in to the local big box stores as the kids behind the counter have no clue.) along with the housing and name/number of the carb. They should be able to easily match the filter specs that way. This will be the easiest way to get the correct fitting air filter. Trip Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/22/2009 03:02PM by TRip. |

Re: Air Filter spec... help please.
BTW. Buy a quality brand name rather than a no name or cheap store brand... This really makes a difference in excellent filtering and air flow.

Re: Air Filter spec... help please.
I tried to look it up on k & n's website, no luck exactly but they did have several 14" round filters, one was 2 1/2 inches tall, not sure it that would clear your bonnet or not, but it might be something to look into. The site wouldn't let me save search results but here is the link, then you can just put in 14" outside diameter and see the results
good luck [www.knfilters.com] |

Re: Air Filter spec... help please.
When I needed a replacement for my 14" X 2" filter for my MG, I just went to my local Napa dealer and they simply looked it up on their computer an I had it the next day.
Pete Mantell (217-649-7717) installed a 1 7/8" thick filter when I had my engine replaced. not sure where he got it from but pretty sure it was from a similar source. D&D (810-798-2491) also has 14" X 2" filters Merv |
