Re: Opinions are like .......

Just one old guys opinion.. I like the 14" open element with a chrome slightly domed lid. .. looks like factory on a L78 first gen. Camaro. If you make a longer carb. stud you can use a 4" tall 14" filter. With the hood clearance on the truck you don't need a dropped base. The 4" filter refrences to an '80 Chevy PU with the converted Olds diesel.
Advance has the filters on sale right now for $5.. purolator classic air filter pt# a63181
Had this old lid that was rusty so I wet sanded it and sprayed it with semi-gloss Krylon.
Yeah, C.Downs, I got a length of 3/8 rubber fuel line too, haven't burned one down in almost 50yrs..... I know, don't take but once, right?
