Todays paved roads are nothing like the roads of yesteryear. Engine pans have worked pretty well for the model A. Most have survived even without them. Some filters are really not that bad if maximum performance isn't a persons main goal , just not a necessity unless conditions are dustier than usual. The model A is very under powered as compared to modern cars and needs all of the help that they can get to keep out of the way of fast moving traffic . I don't take my model A out in severe dusty conditions. Heavy dust would be uncomfortable for me as well. In such conditions I prefer the air conditioned comfort of our Cadillac and leave the model A at home. Restricted air flow that some filters can cause will result in dilution of the crankcase oil which is as bad or worse than dust. We all still have the right to make our own choices in regard to the use of air filters. Smiley Face.
