Hi guys,
Is there a modern replacement air filter that fits in the original housing? (283 V8 Carter WCFB) Bathing in gasoline and oil is not my idea of a good time. Are there any other techniques?

Thanks!

Hi Rusty,

I hate making a reply and "not having all the facts handy" - but to answer your question...


Yes, K&N makes a filter that is a perfect fit - and it replaces that horsehair element that GM was kind to install.

Now, I do not have the part number for it - and it is not listed in the K&N application chart.

Not recommending you "jump ship" - but check out http://www.chevytalk.com and post your question in the 55-57 stock forum. There are several guys over there running this filter and they love it!
:p
