I'd like to keep the look of the original but it is a mess to clean and probably not that efficient. Has anyone supplemented the original housing with a K&N type element? If so, I'd like to see and hear about it.


I want something with minimal resistance so I don't have to re-jet or air balance the carburetor.

That looks to be a V-8. You may get a better answer in the V-8 section.

Yep. I posted in the wrong forum! I attempted to delete it but can't figure out how. I did re-post in the early V8 forum where I should have been in the first place.

Doesn't hurt to post in both forums...
