Unfortunatrly this discussion gets repeated almost as often as oil arguments .[/QUOTE ]

All prod. cars in the last 50 years have larger eng's. and draw in a heck of a lot more air then a 40 hp. 80 year old "A" does.

Dirt bikes and lawn mowers need an air filter for obv. reasons, and so does an "A" if it is driven on dirt/dusty roads most of the time.

On todays roads, if your "A" has eng. pans and the correct fan, most of the dirt/dust will be blow'n away from the carb. intake.

If your going to get an air maze, you might as well get an oil filter also, and why not a GPS ?

It's JMHO, but i don't think the air maze is worth even one fire .
The power of the engine as well as displacement is irrelevant and you are 100% right, the A engine does benefit greatly from an oil filter. GPS is optional.
